1. Differentiate Leader from Manager?

The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people follow them


while managers have people who work for them. A successful business owner needs to be both a strong
leader and manager to get their team on board to follow them towards their vision of success.

A leader is a person who influences his followers to achieve a specified goal. He is a person with a vision
and inspires his followers in such a way that it becomes their vision. He helps them in making the
strategy to achieve the goal and possesses a good foresightedness along with the other qualities like-
motivating the subordinates, creating teams, innovation, developing trust among the stakeholders, etc.

A manager is a person who manages the organization such that he is responsible for planning,
organization, direction, coordination and control. They are the ones who get their work done by the
employees through several ways and has the authority to hire or fire the employees. There are various
types of managers present in an organization such as top level managers, functional managers, project
manager, general manager.

In an organization, it is the manager who performs the five major functions, i.e. planning, organizing,
leading, controlling and coordinating. So, if we say a manager is also a leader, the statement will be
correct, but not all the managers are leaders as only those managers are considered as a leader who
performs the functions like leaders such as encouraging, motivating, inspiring and so on. Further, the
leader can be any person who influences others, the title is not attached to a management position. On
the other hand, a manager can only be a person holding a management position.

2. What makes a good leader and a good manager?

A good leader must possesses the following: Ability to inspire, vision, confidence, positive attitude, good
communication, open minded and Enthusiastic.

A good manager must also possesses the following: Discipline, committed to work, confidence, effective
decision-making, patience and etiquette.

3. Cite example?

Becoming a leader, however, requires that you understand the roles and responsibilities of leadership It
also requires you to practice the qualities of the best leaders and follow their examples, until you begin
to emerge as a one yourself.

In your life, you make critical decisions on a regular basis that determine the course of events for you.
Many of the decisions you make have enormous potential consequences. The choice of a course of
study in school can determine the direction of your life for many years. The choice of a job or a mate in
marriage can be a critical event that determines much of what happens to you in life for several years.

You are always free to choose and have the ability to choose, to take command, to assume a leadership
role in your life through several different leadership styles.

In fact, all of your life is the result of the choices and decisions you have made up until this moment.
Leaders are those who make better choices and decisions than others, more often than not and chose to
lead by example.

Business management is more than simply telling employees what to do. Managers must understand
business organization, finance, and communication, as well as have a thorough understanding of their
particular market and relevant technologies and policies. While managers are not necessarily the most
important people in the organization, their work is critical to helping everyone else work together
seamlessly.

Management skills overlap with leadership skills, as both involve problem-solving, decision-making,


planning, delegation, communication, and time management. Good managers are often good leaders.
And yet the two roles are distinct.

In general, management is about organization. There may be something mechanical about it, not in the
negative sense of a “mechanical performance,” but rather in its focus on the technical “how” of
accomplishing tasks.
