Educational leadership and management are central concepts in understanding organizing in educational institutions. In this article, one analyse and contrast two concepts. They conclude that educational management bears responsibility for the proper functioning of a system in an educational institution in which others participate. Taking this kind of responsibility is a state of mind and does not require actions, although it usually and often does. Conversely, educational leadership is the act of influencing others in educational settings and the need for some type of actions to achieve goals. When they play a delegated responsibility concerning that responsibility, they are affected and therefore leading. Although educational leadership is ideally done responsibly, in practice it is not necessarily the responsibility for the functioning of the educational system in which influence is exercised. Through our analysis, the notion of responsibility, which is underlined in the ideas of organizing in educational institutions, comes to the fore. Educational responsibility is an important assumption and should play a more prominent role in organizing analysis in educational institutions.
