Purpose: There are numerous overlaps in terms of relating the differences between
leadership and management. Jarad (2012) viewed leadership as a subset of management and

industry is well defined with the inclusion of both these roles. It is to this end that the study
presents a theoretical framework relating to the difference between leadership and
management.

theoretical literature on leadership requirements for the construction industry.

leader's role in setting a purpose or vision of change, whereas management associates with
fulfilling organizational goals and processes.

further gives findings relating to management and leadership, thus adding value to the body
of leadership and management knowledge.

Conclusions and Recommendations

This paper has examined literature relating to leadership and management. Leadership is
viewed as a subclass of management, and both are important for executive performance. It is
also clearly seen that planning and structuring the project team is one of the important
elements of management. Leaders bring vision and motivation within the project team. In
short, leadership brings direction and management outlines order. It is recommended that
both leadership and management characteristics be used relatedly. This study may add value
to the field of leadership by contributing literature to management and leadership.
