The difference between the focus of managers and leaders is best described by which
one of the following statements?
A. Management and leadership are not equally important processes to accomplish
outcomes.
B. The manager focuses on systems and structure, and the leader focuses on people
and innovation.
C. The manager focuses on people, and the leader focuses on systems and structure.
D. The processes and strategies look similar and are employed for different goals.
B, The manager focuses on systems and structure, and the leader focuses on people and
innovation.
While leaders and managers both focus on people and processes, the correct answer is

focuses on people and motivate them. The processes and strategies do indeed look
similar, but it is incorrect to say the goals are different but rather are employed for a similar
outcome. Leadership and management are equally important processes to accomplish the
outcomes together, so it is incorrect to say that they are not equally important.
