is composed of organizations' societies, where all of them need to be


managed in order to survive efficiently and profitably, following a vision and
a well-defined mission outlined according to a strategic plan.

Importance

People must be used in their positions and

They are expected of them. The function of leadership is directly related to
the way to achieve goals through the people who make up
the organization.

Direction is the administrative function that refers to relationships


interpersonal skills of administrators at all levels of the organization and their
respective subordinates.

For planning and organization to be effective, they must be


dynamized and complemented by the guidance that should be provided to people through
the communication, appropriate leadership skills, and motivation. To lead the
subordinates, the manager must - at any level of the organization where they
find- communicate, lead and motivate.

Since there are no companies without people, management is one of the most
complex administrative functions because it involves guiding, helping to execute,

of the subordinates, adapting them to the established plans and positions and understanding the
feelings of subordinates and the problems they face when translating the
plans in full actions.

Definition of leadership

Leadership is the ability that one has to


a person who influences, motivates, organizes, and carries out actions to achieve
its purposes and objectives that involve individuals and groups within a framework of

values.

Leadership is a potential and can be developed in different ways and in
very different situations from one another. It is closely related to the
change and with personal and collective transformation.

It is the capacity that develops from a varied potential in people and


groups. Therefore, leadership is an influence and motivation on others, it transforms
individuals and groups, it is an opportunity and it is a potential.

Differences between a boss and a leader.

The boss is always right; he feels like he doesn't have to listen to anyone; he says what
What needs to be done because he is the boss. While the leader believes that there may be a
better idea than yours, which is why he listens to his team, consolidates the information (the one he

he has, more than what the team transmits to him), and then he makes a decision; a
collegiate decision, validated and enriched.

The boss delegates and the leader empowers.

The boss is a person who receives instructions from above, that is the process, and he
is responsible for ensuring it is executed exactly as requested. While the leader questions the
process; it is open to others' opinions to modify the process, even creating,
a new process. In this sense, a task is delegated and authority is enabled. The leader
gives authority to people to do their task because it taught them how to do it, promoting
its development; while the boss just gives orders, delegates tasks.

The boss directs an action and the leader directs and inspires.

The boss tells you that 'that's where we're going'; the leader tells you where we're going, but

also why we do it. The leader inspires, promoting a context of challenge in the face of
to his/her team to also generate new ideas and keep them in mind.

A boss will impose their orders simply because they have the authority to do so.
Hello and without needing to explain why he does it. However, a leader will earn the
trust in their teams and will not need to impose anything, as simply explaining
and to exemplify is enough.

The boss's vision will always be to impose, establishing an authoritarian position and
dominant.

The leader's vision will be to understand authority as an option to turn to.

there is a mechanism to ensure that what has been done is in accordance with the
objectives.

orders given, to identify the errors or deviations in order to correct them and prevent their
