LEARDERS ARE MANAGERS

LEARDERS ARE MANAGERS, BUT MANAGERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY LEADERS

MANAGER                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                    

Making and maintaining conditions that allow individuals working in groups to efficiently achieve predetermined goals is the process of management (Oshagbemi, 2008). Managers are in charge of making sure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute fully to the group's objectives. A manager's role is to oversee personnel while they carry out their duties and skills, as well as to lead and govern their own vision.

Every Manager/Management has carried out these responsibilities:

·         Planning requires coming up with a strategy for attaining the organization's objectives in advance.

·         Establishing links between work units and transferring responsibility and authority are both part of the organizing process.

·         Securing qualified candidates for various job openings within a business is referred to as hiring and training.

·         In order to lead, you must create an environment where people are encouraged and motivated to achieve their objectives.

Controlling is the process of determining, monitoring, and evaluating how well activities are doing in accordance to predetermined goals.

LEADER                                                         

The term "leadership" is misleading because it may be found at many levels within a company. Being described as a leader means having the ability to unify the help and support of others to complete a common goal(Deepika & Chitranshi, 2021).

To be a leader, you must be someone who guides others in the direction of a common objective. Regardless of one's title or level of formal authority, it has an impact on their behavior. Those who are in positions of leadership are conscious of their abilities to help others and communicate effectively (Gürlek & Çemberci, 2020). It is true that good managers can become great leaders, but great leaders aren't always terrific managers.

This situation adheres to the manager/leader differences.

·         Administrative tasks fall to managers, whereas innovative tasks are handled by leaders.

·         Those in charge keep things moving, while those in leadership positions develop.

·         Managers have a vision of where they want to go; leaders have a vision of how they want to get there.

·         Managers are focused on processes and procedures, but leaders are focused on people and their well-being.

·         Managers seek to maintain control, whereas leaders build trust.

·         Managers are good at their jobs, but leaders are superior.

·         Managers think in terms of the short term, whereas leaders think in terms of the long term.

·         Leaders fight the status quo, while managers accept it.

·         Managers focus on the bottom line, while leaders look ahead.

·         Managers follow in the footsteps of their superiors, whereas leaders take the initiative.

·         Leaders are their own people, while managers imitate the classic good soldier.

·         Leaders demonstrate uniqueness, while managers copy.

Therefore, it is good to say “all leaders are managers but Managers are not necessarily leaders”
