What is the difference between Leader and Manager? What qualities should a good manager have?

Managers have employees.      Leaders win followers.

Managers react to change.       Leaders create change.

Managers have good ideas.      Leaders implement them.

Managers communicate.           Leaders persuade.

Managers direct groups.            Leaders create teams.

Managers try to be heroes.        Leaders make heroes of everyone around them.

Managers take credit.                 Leaders take responsibility.

Managers are focused.               Leaders create shared focus.

Managers exercise power over people.  Leaders develop power with people.

The difference between managers and leaders, lies in the conceptions they hold, deep in their psyches, of chaos and order. Managers embrace process, seek stability and control, and instinctively try to resolve problems quickly—sometimes before they fully understand a problem’s significance. Leaders, in contrast, tolerate chaos and lack of structure and are willing to delay closure in order to understand the issues more fully. In this way, business leaders have much more in common with artists, scientists, and other creative thinkers than they do with managers. Organizations need both managers and leaders to succeed, but developing both requires a reduced focus on logic and strategic exercises in favor of an environment where creativity and imagination are permitted to flourish.

Biggest Difference is ... Leader leads by setting examples and manager utilizes resources available for benefits .

Vision is the major difference. Managers should adopt change, motivate team and excel performances by setting examples.

Thanks for invitation,

In a very precise wording,

Leader : is actually obtained his strength from the team members' acceptance.

Manager: is actually obtained his authority from his "job description".

The good manager who are able to effectively and efficiently plan, organize, supervise, follow up, control and correcting in order to use the available institution's resource to maximize its Return On Equity" R.O.E." 

Thanks 

I support your answer my dear colleague 

The manager organizes, the pilot leader, adapts in flexibility, demonstrates opportunism in the action;

The manager plans and plans, the leader creates an inspiring vision, gives a breath,

The manager establishes budgets, evaluates investments and expenses, the leader conceives a long-term strategy and shows flexibility in his budgetary reasoning,

The manager controls, the leader motivates to the quality and the self-control,

The manager measures and rectifies discrepancies, the leader evolves the vision and adapts the positioning of his company and its products thanks to a constant effort to anticipate and listen to his market.

A good manager must have the following qualities:

• A decision-maker
• Resolver of problems
• Dynamic
• Respectful
• Helpful
• Courageous
• Negotiator
• Communicative
• Able to inspire confidence and enthusiasm
• Technician
• Analyst
• Controller

1.a leader inspire his followers by them copying or imitating what he does.

2.a manager direct his subordinates to carryout functions or tasks assigned to them

I like Simple -

A leader has a natural and learnt ability to inspire others to a specific role . They can galvanize a team or group of people. People are drawn to great leaders.

A Manager - is a "nominated leader" - he may have the authority and skill - but not necessarily a great\\t leader ( as I describe above).
