So many differences are there between a Manager and a Leader, As Hanna Saba has described the “A leader is greater than a manager ” the manager follows the rules and regulations and the leader works beyond the boundaries, as per his own thoughts and visions.
A manager has a limited power but the leader specify the power and engage someone to handle it.
Leaders set the targets and managers achieve them.
There is a big difference between a manager and a leader. Some basic factors to distinguish one from the other includes:
1-Manager has to follow set rules but leader has to craft the path.
2-Manager may not be a source of inspiration for the followers but leader does inspire his followers.
3-Manager has limited authority but leader enjoys unmatchable authority.
4-Manager has lesser responsibility than a leader.
5-Manager has to follow his leader.
Example:
We do have an NGO with three different projects.I am the administrative head (LEADER) of the NGO. Each project has its own head (MANAGER) and they are bound to follow the rules set by our NGO. To devise rules for different projects is my responsibility but to follow them in accordance with our instructions is the responsibility of the heads of the projects. This is the way that works an organization.
Leader are born and managers are made.. Even if you are a good manager that will not equally mean you can be a leader, to lead that means you have the X factor that can allow you to lead the group...
A leader is greater than a manager. To lead means to create or to have followers. A manager can be without followers. Some leaders manage, but not all managers are or can become leaders. A leader has charisma, vision, and direction. A manager may or may not have these qualities. Managers have their titles bestowed on them by the organization they work for, A leader is sometimes created informally.
