Manager Vs Leader

Manager Vs Leader:

The terms leadership and management are often used interchangeably. Many dictionary definitions are very similar - suggesting leadership and management are both about guiding or controlling a group of people to achieve a goal. The difference between leadership and management can be illustrated by considering instances when there is one without the other. Leadership without management sets a direction or vision that others follow, without considering how the new direction is going to be achieved. Other people then have to work hard in the trail that is left behind, picking up the pieces and making it work.

but the essentiel difference is :

 Leadership inspires, management plans.

 Leadership is there first, management does it again.

 Leaders praise, managers find fault.

 Leaders ask questions, managers give directions.

 Leaders help others achieve, managers expect support.

 Leaders have followers, managers have subordinates

 Leaders have a vision, managers have objectives

 Leadership change, management is about stability
