you are asking about leaders not managers, so knowing the difference between them will give you the answer.

the difference is that  Management consists of controlling a group or a set of entities to accomplish a goal. Leadership refers to an individual’s ability to influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward organizational success. Influence and inspiration separate leaders from managers, not power and control. simply leaders must be mentors......and from that differnce the top leadership qualities are :

1. leaders touch the hearts of their team and earn long-term loyality when they manage by mind and lead by heart.

2. leaders are surrender to chasnge, without change there is no progress, to change the results we need to change what we are doing

3. leaders focus on the best and delegate the rest,,,,,

4. leaders see what all see, and think what none think.

5. leaders allow people to take risk and fail freely.

6. leaders make their workplace funny,,,,,,,,,

A leader is the torch that lights the way to reach the target destination.  Without leaders employees will stumble and companies will fail to achieve targets.  Leaders always have the big picture in mind and they lead the way to tell people the right direction.  They create, innovate and plan and then motivate and engage everyone to contribute.  They create leaders who are able to carry the torch later.  Without Leaders we get too occupied with the fine details and the daily tasks and how to do things and forget to dream and plan ahead.  Without leaders we forget where are we heading and get distracted.  This is why leadership is so important.  

The top leadership qualities are:

1- To be a role model

2- To focus on the horizon not under his feet

3- To focus on people not on systems and processes

4- To inspire and motivate others

5- To create leaders

6- To have innovation skills

7- To accept challenges and take risks

8- To ask what and why all the time

 

9- To have a positive attitude
