Business is less about management and more about leadership. To what extent is this statement true?

Genghis Khan used leadership instead of management. He used leadership as he respects other peoples’ advice and comments. He was a man of principle and only used management when needed. As a leader he engaged with his army in war. He never fled from a fight and fought with unbeatable power. Other leaders mostly stay in the base or camp and direct orders from there. This limits the ability to observe the enemy’s actions and give direct orders to counter their strategy. Genghis Khan proved that engaging leadership beats management.
Although so, management may be needed at times as there will be some people who will oppose your cause and there is a need for force in the case of expanding the army of Genghis Khan. Management is also needed for new colonies that are conquered as Genghis Khan wants them to know their place and that he is their leader.
