Dear MTCians,

MANAGE (R)     LEAD (ER) The terminology will itself say who is a Manage(r) and  a Lead(er). Leading has got more importance and relevance and managing follows the lead. In a HURDLE RACE if one starts measuring the height of the hurdle, he is a Manager. If one starts jumping the hurdles with greater force he is a Leader. Similarity or Dissimilarity between Manager and a Leader can be understood in the following format.

                                         MANAGER                                               LEADER 

                             Makes Plans & Budgets                       * Formulates Vision
                             Manages Details                                  * Manages Change
                             Controls Processes                              * Sets Objectives
                             Directs                                                 * Motivates
                             Works within barriers                          * Removes Barriers
                             Controls                                               * Empowers
                             Enforces Uniformity                             *  Tolerates Diversity

If the Manager possesses   Leader (ship) qualities then the organisation is a blessed one.

A Leader must not be always in the forefront, but he should go behind the group and MANAGE to  push people up. That is leading and managing.

Shall we say all managers have to be leaders.But  leaders do not  limit themselves to only  managerial roles.
Also the leadership styles differ from  person to person and are also situation based.While a manager is focused on tasks a leader transforms his followers.

I beg to differ. A manager is also a leader and hence there is no difference between a manager and a leader.
