Ashford University Leadership and Management Responsibilities Discussion

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, please read Chapters 1 and 2 in Northouse (2019), and Chapter 1 of Kinicki and Williams (2108), as well as the articles “Are Leadership and Management Different? A Review (Links to an external site.)” by Algahtani (2014) and “Leadership Versus Management: What’s the Difference?” by Kotterman (2006).

In an initial post of at least 300 words (See How to Check a Word Count in Microsoft Word (Links to an external site.) for help), and Citing Within Your Paper (Links to an external site.) at least two required scholarly sources, distinguish between leadership and management responsibilities in an organizational setting. Identify the different sets of responsibilities you expect would be assigned to a leader and to a manager. Discuss how these sets of responsibilities require different skill sets to accomplish. Determine which is a more natural fit for you: leadership or management.
