Leadership
What is the difference between a manager and a leader?
Leadership is differentiated from management based on the relationship
between the manager and his employees. While management is transactional,
where the manager gives instructions or directions to employees; leadership
encourages employees to focus on goals, anticipate challenges and work
together to address difficulties. In leadership, the employees are being engaged
in a democratic way because their relationship is defined by cooperation,
mutual trust and esteem.
