What is a manager’s perspective of leadership and how does it differ from a leader’s perspective?

THEME ONE: What is the manager’s perspective of leadership? How does it differ from the leader’s perspective?  Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization’s purpose. Their perspective is on getting the job done and keeping stability. The leader is about change and moving the people toward the vision. The area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use “soft or people skills” to get their job done yet even there a difference in perspective is seen. The manager motivates while the leader empowers.

1. Role of manager when leading (e.g. teams and problem solving)
2. Communication skills especially when implementing change. Rapidity in the 21st century should be emphasized.
3. Keeping employees motivated towards getting the tasks done in a timely, efficient and quality driven way. (challenge in the 21^st century)
