Great reminder! Thanks!

Doug Wagner

Personally, I prefer the denitions of leader and manager that Marcus Buckingham uses. His
version treats them both as sets of talents that are necessary and valuable to an organization.
They are complementary talents necessary to getting things done. Great leaders dont always
make great managers and vice versa.
Either done to average or poor standards is a disaster.

Great distinction. Heres my 2 cents: Managers rely on invention and leaders take the liberty to
reinvent.

Managers has his eyes on the bottom line; leader has his eye on the horizon.
Managers is a copy, leader is the original
Manager imitates, leader originates
Manager maintains, leader develops
Manager accept the statut quo, leader challenge the statu quo
Manager ask how and when, leader ask what and why
Manager has a short-range view, leader has a long-range perspective

Managers do their work well, while Leaders do good works.

Edward

I disagree with the one says that all managers are leaders, it is true that some managers are
leaders but not all of them. The fact is that no good leader can be a good manager

Managers do things right. Leaders do right things

Dr. Ithikar

Managers lead to targets, Leaders lead to the vision


Managers play within the system, Leaders even go out of the system
Managers less in self sacrice, Leaders always prepared for self sacrice.

Leaders are born. Leaders are made by the circumstances about and around themselves.
Leaders are crafted, chiseled and hammered by their experiences. Leaders are pushed to
mould themselves to become certain gures on Earth. Leaders can be cosmopolitan species,
extremely universally present. Leaders pull up and build other countless leaders as they rise.
Leaders love the use of We and Us. A Leader says I am because we are, and because we are,
therefore I am.
Managers learn and copy and style themselves accordingly with their role models. Managers
acquire junior and senior degrees in subjects of their appetite and anity. Managers position
themselves for the next position. Managers surround themselves with all YES MEN. Managers
eliminate any potential challenging species. managers are constantly working at protecting
themselves from vultures who are also positioning themselves. Managers step on top of many
heads for them to rise and shine alone. Managers love the use of the Me, Myself and I. A
Manager says I am because I am, and because I am, therefore I am.
My kindest Regards,

People dont get to choose their managersbut they always choose their leaders.

It is wrong to focus on classifying leaders and managers as two distinct entities. Both terms
indicate positions of elevated responsibility and respect over others. People in these positions
possess varying degrees of management and leadership abilities, the relative mix of which
denes their ability to succeed in their position. In some positions, management skills, such as
the ability to plan, coordinate, track details, etc, have greater importance in achieving success
than leadership qualities of motivating and inuencing others. The mix required in any
individual leader/manager is dependent on the the position, the environment, and the team.
Focusing on any one individual can be a mistake, since the strengths held by one person can
augment another persons weaknesses. A strong manager/leader understands this, and is sure
to shape their team to complement and augment teir own natural abilities. This self awareness
can also allow a person to develop their abilities, improving weak areas to create a stronger
mix of abilities overall. In the end, whether you are considered a manager or a leader, the term
is just semantics, and you shouuld focul on achieving a balance in your managerial and
leadership abilities.

New denition of leader/leadership- It is elevating of peoples lifes above want and making
them follow a just cause to their natural death. managers do not elevate peoples life but
oppress them to maximize prot but leaders do.

Leaders set vision, managers implement the vision

Darrin Todd

To use a military analogy: Leaders inspire their troops to ax bayonets and charge up a hill
into an enemy of unknown strength while managers equip the troops and choose the hills to
be charged. It takes both to win a war.

Behaviour of manager is a outcome of its position, power, and his own personality and on the
other side leadership is perceived on the basis of his background,knowledge and experience.

Leaders work to make Managers dreams come true. Managers can be described as Positivists
and Leaders Pragmatists. Managers provide the platform for the Leaders to perform..
Managers briing a set of ingredients while Leaders create the best recipe that can possibly be
derived from these ingredients.
