good post. what is the difference between a manager and a leader then?
bidita:
Thank you sir for your appreciation and Question...
Leader. Leadership. One of these might be the first word that comes to mind when someone asks themselves...
Manager.That word might or might not be part of any individual person that is a manager.....
Some may think that a Manager and a Leader are the same, but they are not necessarily identical. An effective manager will have leadership qualities and "manager" will be only one facet of a "LEADER."
Leaders do the right things.They have followers.Their main focus is to lead people with passion.They direct people in to new roads.
Managers do things right.They have subordinates.Their main focus is to manage work.
They direct people in to existing roads....
A Manager in business terms ensures tasks are done through others.
A Leader in practical terms motivates others to do the task.
A Manager who can not motivate others to a certain task is not a Leader...
No difference but it is the combination of both which move things forward.
