The main difference between leaders and managers is that leaders have people follow them while managers have people who work for them. A successful business owner needs to be both a strong leader and manager to get their team on board to follow them towards their vision of success.

leadeing is a deeper word that can not be easily found ,, leading is something relative to art , every leader can be a manager but ! not every manager can be a leader ... being a leader also requires an out job responsibilities , if a leader is a real one he or she can be that manager and leader inside the work , and that leader outside it ... a lot of people said that its something very associated with " the charisma of that leader" ,, it really affects ..

They will tell you lots of things but if you want to understand it easily change the nouns Leader and Manager to the nouns Leadership and Management. You will be immediately relieved with the clarity and simplicity of concepts.

Leadership is usually going to take you there

Management is usually going to make sure that you are well settled here.

All other differences are important but not as significant as the above two.

Manager orders you to do something, leader shows you and sometime does it with you.

A leader is not nessesarily a Manager. A Manager is not nessesarily a leader. It comes down to the person in the job

If people work for you that means you are a Leader and if you make people work for you that means you are a manager.

Leader leads the followers towards success and manager achieves target with the team.
