Understanding the Real Difference Between a Manager and an Executive: Can You Help?

Hi all,

Could anybody provide information about the difference between a manager and an executive?

Hello Sujith:

Executives manage the business and/or supervise managers, while managers supervise the work of others.

Hi Sujith,

Executives outside India are generally referred to as top individuals in organizations who hold positions such as Head or are related to the strategy in the respective functional areas. They oversee many managers.

You can distinguish between:
Executive - General Manager: "Managers may lie, but General Managers do not."

Managers: They are people directly running the show.

Here in India, we often interchange the actual meanings.
