Do you know the difference between a leader and a manager? πŸ€”

Even with the differences, there’s a time for leaders and a time for managers in the growth of a company. Here are some of the key differences:

- Improves Weaknesses (Manager) VS Improves Strengths (Leader)
- Follow Process (Manager) VS Experimentation (Leader)
- Authority (Manager) VS Influence (Leader)

Why does it matter if someone is a leader or a manager?

πŸ‹οΈ Managers focus on improving team weaknesses, to reach business objectives efficiently. Leaders focus on strengths and motivate the team to keep them engaged and confident.

✍️ Maintaining the status quo and developing processes are important to managers, while leaders take risks by experimenting to find innovative solutions with a growth mindset.

πŸ’ Managers use their title to delegate tasks and assert their authority, while leaders will coach the team and develop people by influence.


Understanding the difference between a leader and a manager can help with the growing problem of employees feeling disengaged with their jobs. Managers want maximum effort and leaders earn maximum loyalty, both are needed for a successful outcome.
