Thanks

Leader impose his vision just because he is a LEADER, since real leader has an ability to :

  • Creates followers.
  • Unite them around him.
  • Unify all culture in one culture called ( Team Culture ).
  • Creates new leaders from his team.
  • Align his team goals with organization goal in order to achieve one goal ( Organization Goal ).

Manager Vs. Leader:

  • Leader works for his team, while manager work for himself.
  • Leader creates followers, while manager direct and manage the team.
  • Leader stands forefront his team , while manager set on his chair and gives orders.
  • Leader always creates new leaders, while manager prevent his employees being new managers.
  • Leader has a vision, and strategic plan, while manager implements leaders plan and vision.

A leder engages his emloyees in his vision and what he sees as the futue of the comapny. A manager is someone who manage and directs his emploees to do their roles/task the way it shoul be done.

However, you can be a manager and a leader in the same ime.

I strongly agree with Mr.Omar

Heres a brief of my perception,

A leader would match the tasks accordingly to each individuals skills and help them excel

A manager will impose a certain system which maybe for some employees not suitable to work with thus work effeciency is not utilized at its best

Leader (Inspires, Influences, motivates, shows the way, presents big picture)

Manager (controls, solves problems, organizes, plans budgets)

Leadership is something you are born with, not something that could be learned. There is a big difference between being leader and being manager. Somebody is  born as a leader and the others are studying to become a manager. You either have charisma and glow so you inspire, motivates and influences people  and they love to follow, no matter the  business or in regular life.  Although certain authorities are arguing that leadership techniques could be developed and practiced.

·        People should respect you because of your actions and examples not to fear from you

·        Leadership is about what you do, rather than who you are, and it starts with an ownership mind-set.

·        For the business you need to think as the owner and to be welling to act on your beliefs

·        You need to have a vision and be able to see a big picture and adjust to the changes of society and business.

·        You need to make the people to work together and appreciate the same values.

 

·        To be able to set the proper goals
