Why All Managers Must Be Leaders?

Anyone within an organization has the potential to become a leader, but managers must be leaders. In schools and in our organizations we have been taught and conditioned to believe that managers and leaders are two separate people which is quite a harmful assumption. As a result we have managers who cannot lead and leaders who cannot manage. A leader who cannot manage has a vision of where they want to go but no idea of how to get there. A manager who cannot lead is not able to build trust and create engagement within an organization to get to where they need to go. Neither of these scenarios are practical or effective.

Management and managers are human inventions that were designed with a single purpose in mind, to enforce controls and protocols. The role of a manager was to make sure that employees showed up on time, did their jobs, didn’t cause any problems, and showed up the next day to repeat the process. There was no emphasis on creativity, innovation, engagement, empowerment, or the like; nor was there a need for any of these things. However today we live and work in a very different world where all of these things are essential. This means that managers must be leaders. I believe we have reached an important tipping point which is forcing us to rethink managers and management altogether.

In an ideal world yes, but its not the case.

But yes, i guess every CEO would dream of this.

If are not then :

a) They will not command respect

b) Won't inspire employees 

c) Won't be able to motivate

d) Eventually won't be effective in getting the work done.

e) It is like 10 people can take a horse to the water but 20 people cannot make him drink.....

If they are not leaders nobody will follow them in true sense.

Managers are future leaders and must be in a position to recognise the future leaders working under him/her among as team leaders

A manager must be a leader because the skills that make the success of a company are:

- The leader of skills

- Innovation skills

- The modernization of society skills

- The skills of internationalization of the company

A manager must learn to adjust, streamline and continuously steer the company to tone his environment, optimize the activities of each in its area of ​​responsibility.

A manager must have the ability to argue to convince of the rightness of his decisions and the direction it follows.

A manager must be focused on the experience and tolerate mistakes, results-oriented, is focused much more on individualisme.se focuses on the distinguishing factor of success indivituel.

The classical factors of production are capital goods, labor and capital, but to produce, it is necessary that such means are combined by someone who takes the apportionment decision. These decisions involve determining what we will produce, how we will produce it, what ressources are necessary and what needs must satisfy the product. These decisions are made by a leader. He is  who decides ultimately how and for what purpose we will use some resources. However the action that results from the decision of the use of resources presupposes a commercial innovation of one sort or another, it is -a say the discovery of an opportunity to do business.

For this reason, the spirit of the company is to discover how to make operations that relate profit. Spirit of the company is not running a business or to own capital or companies. The entrepreneurial element is the ability to discover and seize opportunites to do business.

The success of the entrepreneurial act appears linked to the mastery of strategic variables: the skills of the leader, the skills of its organization, depending on the activity and resources, the quality of the draft, its strategy, expressed in the business plan
