CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project roles and responsibilities

Leadership emphasizes setting direction, aligning people, and motivating and inspiring team members toward a vision. Management focuses on planning, organizing, and controlling work to achieve specific objectives. Both are important, and project managers need both leadership and management skills.

**Why not A:** Leadership is not limited to senior executives. Project managers, team leads, and even team members can demonstrate leadership at any level. Leadership is a skill and behavior, not a position or title restricted to the executive level.

**Why not C:** Both leadership and management are needed in all project approaches, whether agile or predictive. The distinction between leadership and management is about focus and approach (vision vs. control), not about which methodology is being used.

**Why not D:** This choice reverses the actual relationship. Leadership relies heavily on interpersonal skills like communication, motivation, and influence. Management involves technical skills such as scheduling, budgeting, and process control. The descriptions are swapped.
