    Ten differences between managers and leaders:
    1) Essence: stability/change
    2) Rules: make/break
    3) Approach: plans detail/sets direction
    4) Culture: execute/shape
    5) Conflict: avoid/use
    6) Direction: existing roads/new roads
    7) Credit: take/give
    8) Decisions: make/facilitate
    9) Vision: tell/sell
    10) Style: transactional/transformational

    "Managers change things, Leaders change the world."
    Very important distinction right there. Makes perfect sense.

    Managers do all of these things as well. The distinction between managers and leaders is often hyped up and reflects a stereotypical bifurcation rather than a qualitatively distinct reality. In truth, many leaders need to manage operations and many managers need to inspire people.

And that alone says a lot because there are a lot of churches as well as the company's don't know the difference between the two. And for me, it will take me a long way in whichever to go.

  • @michaelbluemlingjr1535
    @michaelbluemlingjr1535 10 лет назад

    This video brought a lot of information to the surface on the topic of leadership. As a leader you have to understand and deliver in your role. The reason why is because people are depending on you and looking to you to make the decisions that will ultimately affect them one way or another on a daily basis.
    On the otter hand as a manager you are focusing more on the fact that your employees have a job to do and your role is to ensure that job gets completed on time. These are two very different approaches and this video does a great job of comparing and contrasting between the two. The B.E.C.C analogy was perfectly stated and the concept is excellent.
    Thank you for sharing the information!

    good video, something to remember though that you need attributes from both sides depending on the staff and the task at hand. What is also really good to note is that the roles of leadership, management and follow for any individual should change depending on what is needed to deliver the best.
    sometime leaders need to follow and mangers need to lead
