Are You a Leader or a Manager?

Digg this

Some of you might found yourself have been followed by many employee, you earned so big trust from them, you have bigger view. You start wondering, why you haven’t been a manager yet up now. The difference is fundamental, by knowing the difference will give yourself a measurement to determine if you’re a manager or a leader. To you who wannabe a manager, this brief knowledge will give you even better figure to clear away your way to become a manager.

Here are the differences:

Leaders focus on people;
Managers focus on systems and structures.

Leaders inspire trust;
Managers use control.

Leaders have a long-range view;
Managers take a shorter-range view.

Leaders originate;
Managers imitate and execute.

Leaders ask what and why;
Managers ask how and when.

Leaders search the horizon;
Managers watch the bottom line.

In fact it is hard to find an executive who is good at both, and many top executives confuse the two roles. Both are good. Lead yourself to the right direction where your objective is.
