Thanks 

First of all, i think you meant manager with leadership qualities 

Leadership title come with so many and high responsibilities , since he, she has to inspire, unify, create followers, and lead the team toward the goal hitting

Moreover, he has high sense of responsibility of success, so if he does not, all fingers will points on him and only him, therefore. He has to achieve and avoid any fail, that is why it is a stressful title......

LEADERSHIP IS VIEW AS ESTABLISHING A CLEAR VISION,SHARING THAT VISION WITH OTHERS SO THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW WILLINGLY,PROVIDING THE INFORMATION,KNOWLEDGE AND METHODS TO REALIZE THAT VISION. LEADERSHIP IS A STRESSFUL ROLE BECAUSE HE IS INVOLVE WITH MANAGING DIFFERENT KIND OF PEOPLE BEHAVIOURS AND ATTITUDES IN DIRECTING THEM TOWARDS THEIR GOAL.HE MUST BE ABLE TO CONTROL HIS EMOTIONS TO MANAGE THE GROUP..

of course, leadership comes with responsibilities and accountability. The important things that meals leadership stressful is that a leader is not only in charge of running his unit, he is also in charge of managing the staff of that unit.

  I think leadership initially talent you should improve it but the manager is an appointment position.  If you have both of them you will be great 

 

Things That make you successful not stressful

confident 

Believe in yourself

Be honest 

Keep learn & enhance your soft skills

Motivate your team
