Leadership and management are intertwined. They have knowledge, skills and attitude to lead and manage in a planned and purposeful organised business activities.

Henry Mintzbert who spent much time observing managers at work, identified three major managerial traits - interpersonal (figurehead, leader and liaison agent), informational (monitor of information, dissemination of information and spokesperson) and decisional (entrepreneur, resource allocator and negotiator).

Leaders in organisations must be motivators, influential, mediator and organisation designer. The personal influence of leaders becomes evident as they perform their roles as communicator and motivator. They become the ideal model of an entire organisation. They educate and influence people in their organisation by example.

Leaders are responsible to achieve results from the previously laid plans. They must continually focus and be informed and ready to take decisive actions when results fall below expectations. Leaders can also establish performance standards expected of their staffs according to their own manner and behavior.
