I'm a bit confused about the difference between leadership courses and management courses. What are the differences? I'm wanting training to be a better manager but unsure which type of course to choose.

Hi there,
Thanks for posting. Fundamentally, 'leadership' could be considered a quality of a person while 'management' is an actual role or position within a business. A leader is someone who can inspire, motivate and lead people towards an objective, while a manager is someone who manages people and tasks in a business context.
These two areas often work hand-in-hand; to be an effective manager, it is beneficial to also be an effective leader. But to be a leader, one does not have to be a manager.
If you feel like you need to improve your skills specifically in interpersonal relations, perhaps a Leadership Development training course would be beneficial. If you want broader managerial training, perhaps consider a Management course. These will often cover aspects of leadership anyway as leadership is a fundamental quality for managers to have.
Hope this helps and best of luck on your training hunt,
Josh, Findcourses team.
