leadership/leader Explanation: Yes they are in my opinion synonyms. Note that ledership = management (group of leaders). Compare http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/leadership with http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/management |

leadership / leaders Explanation: In my view, there is a slight but subtle difference between leaders and managers, basically depending on the context. Sometimes a company wants to emphasise the leadership aspect. See ref below. At other times it wants to be neutral. I agree with you about repetition.

Reference Reference information: 'ledarskapsutbildning', 'att vara bra ledare', 'våra ledare', etc. I would stick to English "leader"/"leadership" in these cases. "Manager" is usually translated "chef" in Swedish. "Leadership" has a more abstract sense than "management". Repetition: should perhaps be avoided in literature/fiction, but in many other types of texts, authors use the same word to indicate that they are talking about the same concept, and then it would be wrong to translate with different words. |
