Leaders follow their own intuition which may inturn be more benefit to company.Their Followers are often more loyal to them.Managers do things by the book and follow company policy.Their Subordinates may or maynot be loyal to them

.....

A Manager in business terms ensures tasks are done through others..

A Leader in practical terms motivates others to do the task.

.....

A Manager who can not motivate others to a certain task is not a Leader.

......

No difference but it is the combination of both which move things forward.

A manager is not a leader.A manager is a boss. Tje difference is that leaders encourage others to follow them They motivate people. Managers do not. They order people around. They do not motivate.

A leader is one where the work gets done in his absence. A manager is one where the work is incomplete even in his presence.

Leader leads the team from the front and is always iodlize as someone whome team members can look upto both in terms of personnel and professional lives and hence becomes and effective influention manager who knows how to invest in people to get the desired result.

However a Manager is someone who beleives in only managing the work and might not command that much respesct as leader do.He is one who doesn't invest is people and is only work focussed.

You can't manage people you can manage only things schedules and other resources.

But you can lead people in the right direction.

Manager is an officially help position. Leadership is a choice and not a position.

A good Manager is always a good leader.

A manager takes his people through the forest saying - go here do this etc. A leader climbes to the top of the tree and says hey folks we're in the wrong forest!

All managers cant be leaders But all Leaders can be Managers
Leaders are a source of inspiration whereas managers have to manage his subordinates and try to get the things done
