5 Key Differences Between Managers and Leaders
Differences between managers and leaders: Although technically all roles can bring out leadership within them, it is important to differentiate between the purpose of leadership and managerial roles in an organisational context. The purpose of a leader is to provide direction, think of the future, and provide a vision for the organisation or a team. On the other hand, the manager’s job most often is to optimise the resources available to achieve the overall vision as desired. Usually, the managerial focus is on efficiency whereas effectiveness is a leadership question.
