Are Leadership and Management Different?

There are a certain key differences between leaders and managers, even though both the concepts must go hand in hand. In a book published in 1989, “On Becoming a Leader”, Warren Bennis highlighted following differences. In his opinion, managers administer, but leaders innovate. Because of this the managers just maintain, whereas the leaders develop. This is what makes a manager a copy, whereas the developmental efforts make a leader original. Further, the manager focuses on the structure and system, whereas leader focuses on people. This is further exemplified by manager’s focus on control, and leader’s emphasis on generating trust.

Spies

Information passing in the First World War was made possible by pigeon post. Doing the job of spying by delivering letters up to 90 miles away was best done by tying them up on pigeon backs and releasing them home. At a time when enemy forces discovered the trick and were shooting them down, users of the 'pigeon post,' as it was known, painted them black so they would be confused for crows. Initially, they would only travel home (one way) but later on, their food was stationed away from home so they learned to travel to and fro ...

A Hung Parliament

Before the dust had settled in the 2010 general election the general consensus was that a Conservative government was inevitable. The general public was confident that the Labour Party and its leader did not stand a chance in the 2010 elections.

Terrorism is not as much about killing a maximum number of civilians as sending a message about its aims and aspirations. ETA, a Basque separatist, nationalist group has stood for the independence of the Basque province since 1959 deriving encouragement from Marxism, nationalism, and other kinds of ideological influence. To achieve its strategy, the multi-compartmental group with a complex and secret structure of limited interconnections has used a set of tactical approaches like killings, intimidation, and humiliation.

Having a big government does not in any way mean that the country has a better government. The main reasons why small governments are better than big governments is because in small governments, there is less corruption. Having big governments means having more departments. It is hard for the authority in charge of the departments to dispense their duty well, in terms of ebbing corruption, since they are hard to manage. However, small governments are easy to manage since they have fewer departments, hence transparency and accountability. In addition, it is easy to deliver services to the citizens in small governments ...

- Describe a situation where a Goodness-of-Fit Test could be used We know, that chi-square goodness-of-fit test is a non-parametric test which helps us to understand if there is a significant difference between observed and expected frequencies of some experiment.

Where f0 are observed frequencies, fe are expected frequencies.

For example, consider the coin tossed 100 times with the result of 65 tails and 35 heads. We want to test hypothesis if the coin is symmetric. If the coin is symmetric, then expected frequencies will be 50 and 50. So, X 2Pearson = (Oi-Ei) 2/Ei = (65-50) 2/50 + (35-50) 2/50 = 2*225/50 = 9. The resulting value should be compared with ...
