Managers and Leaders are different.
Comment on Vladimir Velasquez's post: I agree Vladimir, good leaders and managers are both vital for organizational growth and success.
Leaders are visionaries and managers execute that vision.
Leaders provide the vision and managers strategize so that the vision maybe executed.
I find a lot of the descriptions of the two are somewhat abstract but I'm getting that being a manager is a job position that entails administrative tasks whereas being a leader entails having certain qualities that are useful in getting people to do their jobs and feel good about them.
Leaders have a vision that is translated into reality with the support of managers and the entire team. It's is a process that integrates planning, implementing, and monitoring that requires a team effort and collaboration.
Leadership is the ability to lead your team to accomplish a goal by confidently directing them towards that goal.
Not all leaders are born leaders. Some leaders develop from both nature and nurture
Leadership is skill that is embedded in one's character.
The biggest eye-opener is that leadership can be displayed by anyone not just the CEO of the company/
I learned that leadership takes experience and schooling to have a balance. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean your a leader, gaining experience through practice will develop needed lessons for leadership.
Leaders are the visionaries, the ones motivating the team and keeping their team committed. The leaders help the team feel recognized and appreciated and motivated. Managers implement the vision, determine the steps to reach the goals, organize and keep a team focused, and then assess growth and opportunities.
In my opinion, leaders are visionary, they inspire and motivate others. The managers have subordinates
I learned leaders have a vision. They see things from a bird eye view. Managers keep the vision on task to the finish line.
Leaders see things from a bird's eye view.
Although there are differences in the role of Managers and Leaders, there are many traits that are essential to both roles. Leaders cast the vision and Managers implement and execute the plan to make the vision happen.
Leadership is learned and not formed from bith
Leadership see the big picture so that they can create or improve processes, create a goal and share the vision.
In an organization a manager is defined by the structure of the organization and has well defined functions. Leaders appear out of necessity of guiding and inspiring a team toward a goal, even if they are not defined in the structure of an organization.
I learned that although managers implement the plan of the leader, they should be ready to step in position when needed. Flexible!
