Manager vs. Leader
Runs a process or team by authority versus inspires direction.
The comparisoni
“His title is Manager, but everyone follows him as the leader — one is the role, the other is the influence.”
The ruleii
¶
MANAGER = role. LEADER = influence.
MANAGER is a formal title with responsibility for processes, budgets, and people. LEADER is earned — influence regardless of title. Every good manager is a leader; not every leader is a manager.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Managers authorise. Leaders inspire.
