The paradigm that Kotter proposed in his article gives management the ability to act on these factors and bring greater levels of performance to an organization in the short-run. Contrasting the management role in an organization, leadership is more focused on creating a vision that can sustain and unify a business over the long-term. Leadership is also more focused on how an organization is going to deal with change from a strategic standpoint, redefining its business model if necessary in the process (Kotter, 2001). According to Kotter, leader also looks to make interconnections between different elements as well, creating new opportunities in the process (Kotter, 2001). He also describes the various leadership styles and approaches including the emergence of transformational leaders, who have the ability to defining a compelling vision...

Kotter's article on leadership shows this to be the case and provides a series of frameworks and concepts for underscoring the role of managers vs. leaders in organizations. The manager's role of stabilizing an organization and the leader's ability to define a vision that are achievable and unify an organization are critical for the overall growth and stability of a business.
