Guest Insider Leaders invest in others. Managers manage others.

tracie clemenz 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.

Gerry Hunt Tracie can someone be a good manager and a good leader at the same time?

tracie clemenz Gerry Hunt Yes, they can…..if they have learned to set aside their own ego. Anyone can be a leader if they truly want to.

Gerry Hunt Tracie awwww. . . that 'ego' word!! I have know some folks with huge egos!

tracie clemenz Gerry - Me too….I used to have an ego until I learned how to serve others

Gerry Hunt Tracie in my world, having a servants heart is what make a big difference between a great leader and a great manager!

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt yes, but they chose not to!

Gerry Hunt Elizabeth I love the word 'chose'. We ALL have to make our own choices, don't we?

Stacey Pichette 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.

Joy Arsham Anzalone 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.

Guest Insider Someone who inspires you to do better and wants you to learn so you can be successful and someone who wants you to stay in your lane and doesn't want anyone to learn anything and grow

Gerry Hunt Ginny who is that 'someone' ~ a manager or a leader?

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt a Leader inspires you

Gerry Hunt Ginny so managers are not inspiring, in your world?

Charity Zierten Anyone in any position can be a leader.

Guest Insider Charity Zierten I like that! Very true

Gerry Hunt Charity I agree.

Guest Insider Motivation

Gerry Hunt Travis explain please.

Guest Insider Managers lack motivation when managing employees. Probably because they are not motivated properly themselves. Leaders find the best way to motivate their people.

Lori Lindley A leader inspires the best in others and meets people where they are to grow them forward

Gerry Hunt Lori and what about a manger? Can they inspire other and help them grow?

Lori Lindley 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

Gerry Hunt Lori I agree with you.

Billie Lewallen Leaders lead by example no job is out of bounds. A manager sources out responsibilities and expects others to do the work.

Gerry Hunt Billie if the manager 'sources out responsibilities' is that their only role?

Guest Insider Management is climbing the ladder of success. Leadership is making sure the ladder is stable and on the right wall.

Jim Collins Larry Berry Good one!!

Guest Insider 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 Amy I agree 'manager' is not a bad word. Is leadership a learned skill?

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt I believe it develops with experience

Guest Insider 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.

Guest Insider Yea in most cases managers dictate what to do. Leaders are in the trenches doing the hard work with their team. Leading with compassion will always result in more.

Pat Wiley A manager does things right.A leader does the right things .

Gerry Hunt Pat is that always true?

Pat Wiley Gerry Hunt I hope so!

Guest Insider A manager points out the fire - a leader runs in with you

Gerry Hunt Jesse I love it!

Guest Insider A leader is someone who guides you and brings you up, has a positive attitude and doesn’t want to see you fail. A manager is someone who sits behind a desk and demands things that they are capable of doing themselves.

Gerry Hunt Elizabeth sounds like you may have had some 'less than good' managers. I am sorry.

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt Yes it’s really hard to find that one.

Guest Insider A leader is someone who makes their employees want to work harder! I am fortunate to have that now!

Gerry Hunt Kathy and what about a manger?

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt My manager is a leader. One in the same in my case.

Guest Insider A leader walks the walk. Leads by example, mentors, gives automy to her staff and is always available for her staff.

Gerry Hunt Amy and what about a manger? Do they walk the talk? Are they examples, mentors?

Guest Insider Leaders create solutions. Managers use solutions.

Gerry Hunt Erik I like the way your think! All good points.

Guest Insider Gerry Huntthanks

Guest Insider You lead people and manage things - time, money, information...

Gerry Hunt Petra YES, YES, YES!!!!!!!

Jeff McDonnold Leaders build, managers maintain.

Gerry Hunt Jeff please explain, build what, maintain what?

Suan Tinsley A manager is a leader to others.

Gerry Hunt Suan in what way?

Suan Tinsley Gerry Hunt Develop their skills and train them up for higher level positions.

Guest Insider A leader is a mentor who leads their team to success and takes pride in the work of their team. A manager is someone who shows up and makes sure the place doesn't burn down - like clockwork.

Gerry Hunt Sandra can one be a manager and a leader?

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt Of course but being a manager doesn't necessarily make you a leader. You can lead no matter what position you hold.

Diana Walker A manager manages processes. A leader leads people and plays to their strengths.

Gerry Hunt Diana thank you!

Guest Insider A leader communicates vision, empowers and educates others, and demonstrates empathy, openness and patience. A manager, or a boss, is just interested in what’s in front of them and doesn’t possess the above.

Gerry Hunt KT is it possible for a manager to also be a leader?

Guest Insider Gerry Hunt of course. I just used the vernacular of the author. It is usually to define leader vs. boss.

Guest Insider 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.

Gerry Hunt Karen thank you for sharing your opinion.

Guest Insider Got to be a leader before you can manage.

Gerry Hunt Jimmy I have worked with some very good managers who were not good leaders.

Guest Insider A manager and a leader or one of the same you can’t be one without being the other

Gerry Hunt Debby I agree.

Guest Insider 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!

Gerry Hunt Shelly can a manager 'inspires their team to learn more, set goals- assist them to achieve the goal"?

Jamie Jennings 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!”

Gerry Hunt 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.

Guest Insider 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.

Gerry Hunt John thank you!!

Guest Insider 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.
