Greetings!
I have compiled 45 differences between Managers and Leaders after reading various books and articles. It's only illustrative and not exhaustive. Since Leadership is mostly situational, the skills are complementary and overlapping too. Would really appreciate suggestions, feedback, and additional inputs.

That's a really good PPT... it's informative and very realistic. I could visualize, yes, these were the qualities I have seen in all the managers I worked with. I can surely look for a leader now... thanks for the valuable information.

Arun, excellent presentation. There are too few effective managers and even fewer leaders which could explain how so many ineffective managers get their jobs.

Nice one, Arun. There's a quote I once read about the difference between a leader and a manager: "Most of the energy of a manager concentrates on shaping the present, while that of a leader focuses on building the future."

Hey Bob,
I have an answer for your query. I am not trying to hurt anybody, but it is a fact that I have realized as I too have recruited professionals. It's not that easy to identify skills in individuals because we don't know those who speak facts. Nowadays, you can find many qualified so-called professionals, but most of them are inexperienced and do not possess relevant qualities. Yet, they manage to get into organizations by clearing all rounds. The real picture is revealed when they fail to get things done whenever they are assigned XYZ responsibility.
With profound regards

Good presentation. Inspiring thoughts. Some contradictory statements are here in the presentation. Please find and correct me if I go wrong.
There is no point in comparing a manager with a leader. As the name itself suggests, a manager is an employee who has his own boundaries. A manager will have his own boundaries which management cannot allow him to cross. A leader is independent, a manager is dependent. A manager has to follow the rules, leaders have no rules. The hiring purpose of the manager is to increase production, whereas a leader is not. There are many other considerations we must look into.

That is a terrific input, Simon. This explains why commanding types of CEOs who are 'power freaks' and lack transformation skills may just about manage to hold on to meager success or fail in taking the organization to greater heights.
