I also play a dual role of Leader/Manager and find that I end up not delegating tasks many times when I should in fear that the task will not be completed to my satisfaction. My natural need to organize, categorize, and make lists has made me a natural manager however others are not always receptive or conducive to utilizing these skills in their daily tasks which can frustrate them. 

Leadership is the ability to lead your team to accomplish a goal by confidently directing them towards that goal.

A good manager develops over time...leading by example with good practices such as being on time, following policies, having a positive attitude and communicating well with others. These managers create a 'TEAM" community where each member contributes to the department.
