Team management is basically ensuring the tasks at hand are done, and key competencies are built over a period of time. Team leadership does so much more, it inspires, motivates and people to learn and perform their optimal best!

Team leadership is to led all team works

Team Management mean to description of work among the team

To build a successful organization, there needs to be a variety of people playing different roles in order for things to run smoothly.

Some of these roles are easily defined while others may have more confusing boundaries, such as the difference between a manager and a leader. You can be a manager and a leader at the same time, but just because you're a phenomenal leader doesn't guarantee you'll be a great manager.

 For me, the leader innovates whereas the manager administersThis means that the leader is the one who comes up with new ideas and moves the rest of the organization into a forward-thinking phase. This person has to constantly keep his eyes on the horizon and develop new strategies and tactics. He needs to be knowledgeable about the latest trends, studies and skill sets.

Whereas on the other hand, a manager maintains what has already been established. This person has to keep her eye on the bottom line and maintain control or else there might be disorder within the organization
