Manager vs Leader

 

A Manager A Leader
Administers Innovates
Is a copy Is an original
Maintains Develops
Focuses on systems and structure Focuses on people
Relies on control Inspires trust
Has a short-range view Has a long-range perspective
Asks how and when Asks what and why
Has his eye on the bottom line Has his eye on the horizon
Imitates Originates
Accepts the status quo Challenges it
Is the classic good soldier Is his own person
Does things right Does the right thing *

 

S. Hein - I would add that a manager let's others tell him what s "right". A leader decides for himself what is "right."
