WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 4560

Bennis and Nanus (1997) stated: “Leadership seems to be the marshaling of skills possessed by a majority but used by a minority. But it’s something that can be learned by anyone, taught to everyone, denied to no one” (p. 25).

• From your own understanding of leadership provide a rationale that would support or refute the statement above.
• Research more information on the definitions and theories of management and leadership to compare and contrast the two.
• From your perspective, describe which one may be more important than the other. Or, are they equally important?
