Peñalosa May 06, 2023 YEAR & COURSE: MPA SCORE: LEADERSHIP VS. MANAGEMENT How does one identify if he or she is a leader or a manager? Can a manager be a leader, or a leader be a manager? In my three years of being part of the work industry, I mistakenly believe that being a manager is synonymous to being a leader as they both deal and lead a group of people and it’s just a matter of whether you’re a good or a bad one. However, by definition, there’s already a difference between the two. A manager can be defined as somebody who takes control and is administering, directing, and ensuring that things are happening and operating as they should be. On the other hand, a leader can be defined as somebody who creates a vision that inspires people to follow that vision and move forward towards achieving it. Leadership is not the same as management. Responsibility and authority are not the same. Leaders take responsibility, managers will tell you what to do. Your boss is your manager. But leaders are required to do is not to demand authority but insist on taking responsibility. Excellence is about leadership and leadership is about solving interesting problems even if they’re no on the agenda. Managers are slave to their agenda. Are you an effective leader or manager?

Management leaders focus on strategic planning, organizing, leading and controlling their team's performance. Leadership leaders are facilitators who create opportunities for their team to achieve its goals. It is helpful to understand the difference between these styles so that you can be most effective as a leader or manager. Both management and leadership require real skills, but management leaders need more than just intelligence; they need skills in problem solving and decision making. On the other hand, leadership leaders have an innate ability to motivate others and set high standards.
