I've never really thought about the difference of being a leader and a manager, this article makes some very valid points.I believe that a manager is just someone who tells people what and how to do certain task. A leader inspires and motivates you to become better at whats being done. It it possible for managers to become better leader, it takes time and dedication.

INSTANT MBA: There Is A Difference Between A Leader And A Manager
Todd McKinnon brings up a good point. Leaders are people that inspire and steer a group of employees. They motivate each one to perform their specific task to their greatest potential. Managers on the other hand, oversee and delegate. They know how to use each person's strengths and be able to identify which task will be executed the best by these certain individuals. Management needs to be precise and develop ways for the company to strive, while leadership is more about the employee themselves and how to make them perform to the highest potential.

I definitely think there is a seperation between being a leader and a manager. Of course, one would want there to be a equal balance. As the person people are looking to for answers it is important to be able to provide a well balanced proportion of the two. You need to be able to decifer when it is adventageous to provide more of a leadership role, and also when to be able to put on your manager cap and delegate responsibilities. As the head of your own company it may be easier to provide the leadership role and help employees see your vision, while you let someone else that you trust enact the management decisions.

This article showed me that leaders are basically the motivation of the company. They should help workers to keep pushing forward and work to the best of their abilities. Managers, on the other hand, have a different role. They are there to make sure things are executed correctly and also in a timely manner. They oversee the small details and let workers know how to improve on them.

This article is about the difference between a leader and a manger. You have to be a good leader to be a good manager. You have to help out with the work and make your team believe in the cause and believe in you. It's one thing to just go and do it but it's another thing to actually make it it happen and have the people believe in you. Never sell yourself short and always go for the gold. Be the best you can be no matter what and make your team believe in the cause.

INSTANT MBA: There Is A Difference Between A Leader And A Manager
It seems as if the author is saying that the leader of a company is more like the counselor or social worker, the one who is the cheerleader for his team. He's the one who encourages his employees to perform to the best of their ability and cheers them on when they stumble. The manager, on the other hand, is the one who is more like the captain of the ship, the one who makes sure that all duties get done, that all are held accountable for their part of the process. It makes sense that to be the best at what you do as the boss of a corporation, you would combine the qualities of both leader and manager. This way, you ensure that all duties are performed as necessary, thereby yielding success for your company, as well as making sure that all employees feel appreciated and respected, thereby yielding the best from each employee.

INSTANT MBA: There Is A Difference Between A Leader And A Manager
I agree that there is a difference. A manager may have the ability to get tasks completed in an appropriate amount of time. A leader has the ability to make the employees complete those tasks and want to be better at doing them. I have always tried to be a leader more than a manager. I believe that a leader can make employees better and more useful members of society whereas a manager can just get a job done and while both may accomplish similar things, I believe the leader has a greater impact on peoples lives and is more useful in more situations.

Instant MBA: There Is A Difference Between A Manager And A Leader
In this link it talks about how being a effective leader and manager can pay off. It discusses how they can help a company grow. When managing and trying to be a leader you must show your employees that they are important to the company. You must show them their value by always inspiring them. This will make them see that you will have their back. It will also give them room to be creative because they know that they are supported in any ideas that they have. Having qualities of a leader and a manager is very important to an organization.

A manager, a leader or a combiantion of them both. There are managers and there are leaders in some jobs we work in we just have managers. Leaders have to be able to manage. I have worked under both managers want the task done they don't care how the task get done. They just want it done in the time they said they wanted complete. Leaders motivate you to complete task they want things done as well in a efficient way. Their focus is that you you not only achieve your goal, but more than your goal. They want you to push even harder.

Great article about the difference between Leaders and Managers. Leaders inspire people to follow them and give them direction as well as goals. Mangers can do the same but lack the ability to have that connection or sometimes charisma. Managers give the orders created by leaders. Managers help deliver the message of leaders. Leaders have the ability to create a culture and or company.
