A Leader helps you do your best and a Manager just tells you to do your job. A Leader isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty and pitch in when people need them.

I think one of the biggest differences is that leaders have a vision for the future and a determination to help others to reach that brighter future. Managers (who also play a very important role and are necessary! ) tend to focus more on the day-to-day tasks. Managers, too, may share a vision but they likely aren't thinking as broadly or creating innovations to get there.

A leader motivates their team and provides the training for them to succeed. They hold themselves accountable when mistakes are made or goals aren’t met. A manager casually oversees their team while focusing on their own success.

I have two that I use and think are great though there are many. A LEADER is someone who will take you to a place whether in business or life that you would not otherwise have taken yourself. And a leadership quote by John Quincy Adam’s -“ If your actions inspire others to dream more , learn more , do more and become more , than you are a leader. “I also personally feel that all the quotes mean little unless you lead by example every day.

Gerry Hunt most managers are leaders but some carry a title and are unable to be true leaders . We have supervisors , vp ect who don’t lead . Here’s what I know we can all be great leaders in any position. People in positions with titles sometime don’t understand the difference. Time and experience usually brings out leadership along the way

This is a loaded question because "manager" is not a bad word but for the sake of this - leader stands with the team (asks for opinions/ways that may work better) and works together to get the goal accomplished. A manager delegates and demands with no regards to the teams ideas, past experiences or opinions. It's their way or no way. Also a leader never takes full credit because it's always a team effort. A leader is willing to do everything to get the job done and a manager says "it's not my job"

Gerry Hunt a leader can be a good manager. A good manager isn't necessarily a good leader. One of the missing ingredients is compassion. Understanding the perspective of the people beneath you.

A manager is one that wears many hats. They keep their team motivated and have a A clear understanding of what needs to be done to be successful.A leader has a task that needs to be done and is generally dedicated to getting that task completed and is more focused. A leader focused on a specific outcome versus the total picture.

A leader inspires their team to learn more, set goals- assist them to achieve the goal. You are a manager when you have to be- everyone has a position that’s what makes you a team. When a teammate is overwhelmed “we” all help out- that includes the leader. Most important-Lead by example!

I think it’s a mindset. I don’t want to manage people... I want to mentor people. I’ve had some terrible managers... they taught me how I didn’t want to manage... I’ve had some excellent mentors... they gave me inspiration on how to manage. I can’t be a leader if I stop learning, listening, growing! I own my employees mistakes(correct them and then teach)... and I give them the praises. I walk alongside my team and my ultimate reward is when they say..”She is who I would like to be when I lead! She was the example!”

Jamie in my world, a manager, manages THINGS, not people. However, a good manager can also be a good leader, by helping the TEAM they build, understand what is necessary and help get the 'stuff' done.

A manager is typically an appointed authority figure whose primary role is to manage tasks, processes, and people to ensure organizational goals are met. They focus on planning, organizing, and controlling, with an emphasis on efficiency and consistency. Managers often concentrate on short-term goals and immediate deliverables, using their formal authority to get tasks completed. They tend to be risk-averse, maintaining the status quo and improving existing conditions.On the other hand, a leader is someone who influences and inspires others to follow, even without formal authority. Leaders focus on people, setting direction, creating a vision, and motivating others towards a common goal. They are often willing to take risks to innovate and challenge the status quo, with a long-term vision for the future.In essence, while managers are about processes and immediate results, leaders are about people and long-term vision. Both roles are crucial in a successful organization, with the most effective professionals often embodying both managerial and leadership qualities

A leader shows you how to do things and works with you to get a job done. A manager tells you what to do and expects it to be done with no real instructions or help. I’ve worked for a ‘manager’ b4. She was TERRIBLE and still is.

Leaders coach for success; managers oversee

Managers are appointees who plan, direct, delegate and supervise. One of the main functions of a manager is actually to lead and those who have honed and developed the skills do. Unfortunately, many do not. Leaders educate others, inspire and motivate others into higher levels or productivity. Leaders do not necessarily have a title and people are not required to listen to or follow them. People do so voluntarily because they feel inspired, whereas people have to listen to their managers or else, they get fired. Managers are transactional while leaders are transformational.
