Abstract

The concepts of leadership, strategy, management and strategic management are inter-related and the meanings of all these terms are contested to some degree. This paper explores these concepts in detail and applies a rigorous definitional refining method developed specifically for application to groups of related conceptual terms. The resulting definitions clearly distinguish between a strategy and a plan, remove problematic field-specific extensions from the definitions of leadership and management and propose a resolution of long-standing contest around the meaning of the term strategic management. Leadership is defined simply as showing the way, strategy as the pattern in a series of actions, management as taking charge, and strategic management as taking charge of the pattern in a series of future actions.
