It is said that a manager asks “how” and “when”, whereas a leader asks “what” and why”. In many professions, managers and leaders assume the same role. However, if a leader of a business simply manages a company – rather than challenge its true potential – then it will likely fall behind its industry peers. Likewise, if managers overstep their bounds and attempt to revolt against the company, then they may soon find themselves out of the job. In some cases, where micromanagement is essential to maximize efficiency, nurture skills and keep employees organized, strong managers are an absolute necessity to prevent high turnover rates and the “brain drain” of a skilled workforce. A good leader will also stay in the front line of battle, and be familiar with every aspect of the company, leading through inspiration rather than coercing through hierarchical control. A perfect manager who attains the status of a true leader will be able to lead people effectively and draw on the correct strengths and knowledge of every key individual in the company. Many managers will struggle for their entire careers and never attain this, but a skilled few will evolve into true leaders
***Interpersonal Skill and communication Skills - A good leader should have both. Being a team player and the needs of his / her member to a perfect leader. A leader should think not only inside the box but thinking the whole box itself specially outside the box, Who are the people outside the box? thats the people in other department of the company. Working as a whole to achieve the COMPANY GOAL, not just the department he/she handling.
1) Lead the team from front - show examples so that they follow you
2) Efficient speaker and convincer through clear communication- there would be many obstacles and circumstances which a leader has to overcome and should convince others also to overcome it
3) Motivator - Should motivate everyone when there is dull moment , most important should be self motivated
4) Achiver - If a leader is not leading right way to acheive a goal then nothing makes sense.
5) Quick Response and assertive solutions - Should have out of box , creative and effective solutions always , because when everyone one fail will rely on leader to come up with a solution.
