Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A manager may not possess leadership traits, and a leader may lack management skills. Management is the process of coordinating others and directing them toward a common goal. Leadership focuses on relationships, or using interpersonal skills to persuade others to work toward a common goal. Leaders are visionaries who set the overall direction for a group or organization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Leaders have the ability to influence and motivate others while maintaining relationships to accomplish a goal. Management is the process of coordinating others and directing them toward a common goal. Management is focused on the task at hand. A manager holds a formal position of authority in an organization; that position includes accountability and responsibility for accomplishing the tasks within the work environment. Managers demonstrate accountability when they are answerable for their own actions and the actions of those under their direction.
