The principles of leadership and management serve two distinctly different, yet intertwined, purposes in any business setting. In IT projects, understanding these perspectives provides a key insight into executive and managerial stakeholders’ expectations. In this session, we will explore some basic differences in leadership and management, when to emphasize the value of relationships vs tasks, and how this is manifested in the landscape of information technology.
