In the physical world we use levers to multiply our physical strength. In the social world managers fulfill the same function with respect to organizational effort. Like a well placed lever, managers enable greater social achievement. Those managers attempting to control every thought and action, minimize their power to leverage. A good lever doesn't exert effort, it channels effort to a single point of action.
To attempt the control of effort is ultimately to restrict it. Dictating a solution stifles creativity. It asserts the manager, and the manager alone has the right, or knows how, to think.

Management
Management is about coping with complexity.
Its practices and procedures are largely a response to
one of the most significant developments of the twentieth century: the emergence of large organizations. Without good management, complex enterprises tend to become chaotic in ways that threaten their very existence. Good management brings a degree of order and consistency to key dimensions like the quality and profitability of products.
Leadership
Leadership, is about coping with change.
Part of the reason it has become so important in
recent years is that the business world has become more competitive and more volatile. Major changes are more and more necessary to survive and compete effectively in this new environment. More change always demands more leadership.
Reference
What Leaders Really Do, first published in 1990,
deepens and extends the insights of the 1977 article. Introducing one of those brand-new ideas that seems obvious once its expressed, retired Harvard Business School professor John Kotter proposes that management and leadership are different but complementary, and that in a changing world, one cannot function without the other. http://hbr.org/2001/12/what-leaders-really-do/ar/1
