The Difference Between Managers and Leaders is A Lot & Not Much
| |
| Debate has long surrounded the topic of whether managers differ from leaders and vice versa, and if so, how. Meanwhile, the reason that we never seem able to settle on a single answer is because they are both different and the same simultaneously. What I mean by this is that managing requires getting work done. It’s the nitty gritty of the day-to-day - organizing people, logistics, communication, etc… and making sure that things run smoothly like how the moving parts of a machine work together to create a functional whole. Leading on the other hand is about inspiration, the epitome of ideals, having vision and being able to effectively communicate its tenets. Implicitly workplace leaders have followers. Managers don’t, not necessarily.

Love your job
| |
| Getting up and going to work each day is something that most of us do for many years. Yet few of us jump out of bed each and every day and can't wait to get there. It seems that we have to whine and moan about it to keep up with everyone else. It does not need to be like this and it is preferable that it isn't. When employees love what they do, they will go that extra mile for their boss and a far more positive culture will be created. This in turn can turn into increased productivity and profits. |
|
|
Leaders Invent Themselves

Wrong! The big myth is that leaders are born. The reality, in the words of Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader, is "Leaders Invent Themselves".

Not surprisingly those who subscribe to this myth are often sadly disappointed and spend a lot of time wondering what happened – why didn’t they get what they want and thought they deserved. |
