  • Abstract:
  • Managers are the people to whom this management task is assigned, and it is generally thoughtthat they achieve the desired goals through the key functions of planning and budgeting,organizing and staffing, problem solving and controlling. Leaders on the other hand set adirection, align people, motivate and inspire (Kotter, 2001).Other researchers consider that a leader has soul, the passion and the creativity while a managerhas the mind, the rational and the persistence. A leader is flexible, innovative, inspiring,courageous and independent and at the same time a manager is consulting, analytical, deliberate,authoritative and stabilizing.theseaspirational goals that move the organization are not truly effective without the accumulation of followers (and their engagement). Having these organic followers is another key distinction between manager and followers. Alberto Silva of Keiser University recently defined this organic follower aspect of leadership the following way, “Leadership is the process of interactive influence that occurs when, in a given context, some people accept someone as their leader to achieve common goals.”
