Sample Solution
Leadership is the power of a leader to offer continuous influence to a team of individuals and encompasses many important traits. While management is the overall direction and oversight of the work activities of a team, leadership focuses on the ongoing motivation, engagement and productivity of a team. Leadership concepts refer to factors that leaders consider when applying a leadership style and overseeing a team of individuals. These principles focus on ideas and perceptions about the traits leaders should have and how they should perform in a leadership role. Additionally, leadership concepts help professionals understand what kind of skills and character traits to develop in order to advance in leadership roles.
