An oposable debate arount management being the same aschange management is the concept of management as being a repetable process anda measurable one. Management should be governed by a common seed, surrounded byadapted activities to different contexts. The seed should be the same for sometime, in order to evaluate the eficacity of the management process. In thispoint of view, management is a rotating circle while change management is aprocess of transformation from one state to another which is not alwaysreversible. Management processes should last as long they provide value to thebusiness, while change management should be activated when value is no moreprovided. Value should not be seekd when changing management and should beregarded as an invested energy to move the system from one state to another.This is equivalent to phisics where to move a system from an stable equilibriumto another state of stable equilibrium necessitates kinetic energy. Managementis stable equilibrium and change management is the process of transformingbetween two states of stable equilibrium.

Leadership is not always directly related to management, theycan coexist in the same person or can be two separated things. Leaders oftenfind themselves in the imposibility of performing managerial tasks as they arerepetitiv, while managers find difficult to do leadership as they requireinspiration, charisma and personal involvement in day to day activities ofpeople. Combining the two requires either a natural talent either an good selfdiscipline as to not let any of the two sides overwhelm the other. Leadingpeople means you should look more into the future, inspire them to live theirdreams, managing means to look at the process and improve it, not alwaysrelying on people but rather on the organisational setup. Balancing the twomentalities should be the focus of any person trying to lead a team because teamsneed leaders but also good managers.
