Leaders are Managers, but managers are not necessarily leaders
Leader
do not require any managerial position to show his leadership and then he or
she inevitably become a manager. Thus bureaucratic manager is not being a
leader every time.
Leadership
culture emphasizes rationality and management. Whether his energy is focused on
goals, resources, organizational
structure, or people. The manager is a
problem solver. The manager asks,
"What problems need to be resolved and how can we get the
best results so that people can continue to contribute to this organization?" Managers need many people to work efficiently at different statuses and levels of responsibility in order to carry out their duties.
You don't need a genius or a hero to become a manager. Perseverance, tenacity, diligence, intelligence, analytical skills, and perhaps most importantly,
tolerance and mercy
Subordinates leave the Managers not the organizations, this happen
merely due to the poor leadership of the management. The trained and
experienced labor is always an asset to the developing organization.
When the business/organization is grown workforce will be
inclined this would not ease to the top of management and consequently top
management should careful to appoint appropriate leaders at required stages to achieve
their certain goals. Many reputed organizations and mangers doing various strategic
approaches to sort out these issues, they develop their own leadership skill or
empower the leaders as middle level managers. People don’t want to manage they
hate management because it convince too much of control. They want to be led.
A leader can guide to group of individuals to
achieve the ultimate goal but manager still a facilitator. Consider a simple military analogy. The peacetime army can
usually survive with proper
management, the moves up
and down the hierarchy, coupled with good leadership and the is concentrated at the
top. During the War Army however, requires competent leadership at all levels. No one yet understands how
to effectively lead people into battle. Competent
leader shall be guided
for the victory.
Figure 2: Leader Vs Manager
Final Word
Leaders are not
defined by their position in the hierarchy, but by their attitude to define them, their ability to guide and inspire others.
Young employees have more leadership skills than
a boring CEO
who doesn't have the ability to run a business properly. In fact, it is not uncommon for leaders to lack leadership. These
people can often rely on others to take over their leadership role, or they can ultimately ruin the organization because of their incompetence. Many
government or semi-governmental organizations around the world have been hurt by this dilemma. Such monopoly
organizations often lack top management leadership, which makes the
organization inefficient. These organizations find it difficult to
survive as a result of
competition with the private sector. Quick glances Transport sector, Aviation
system in the country, Several Utility services etc. and many effective
government organization vanished due to poor management in the recent past.
Most of higher management of those government organizations are politically
appointed and those Managers floundered during their jurisdiction due to poor
leadership and ruined, by remaining questions to all.
