Mohanish,
Yes, the above statement is correct. Leadership is a part of management but not all of it. Under management, all the functions are included such as planning, organising, staffing and directing. A manager has to perform all these functions besides peforming the duties of a leader. An organisation may or may not hire a leader as a manager has to perform the functions of the leader also. So, we can say that management is incomplete without leadership.On the contrary, leadership is a part of management as a leader has to follow or attain the objectives framed by the management.
The following points highlight the difference between a manager and a leader.
