Theme #2: Leaders and managers are the backbone of a business but their roles and perspective in an organization are significantly different.

The leader and the manager differ greatly in an organization.  The leader’s job is to provide the vision, mission, values, organizational structure and culture of the organization.  They empower employees and foster followers to make the changes needed for the organization to remain competitive and accomplish its purpose and vision.  The leader focuses on the internal and external forces that exert power upon the accomplishment of the organizations goal.  The leader’s perspective is to define the future of the company, its purpose, its values, and ways of doing business. The leader’s perspective is long term goal oriented and focuses on decision making and the people centric flow of the organization.

The manager’s job is to organize the tasks, processes and procedures that fit within the organizational structure to accomplish the long term goals set by the leader.  They motivate employees to accomplish those tasks to move the company forward toward the vision.  The manager encourages employees to commit to the culture and climate of the organization while completing their assigned tasks.  The manager’s perspective is to maintain the status quo while working with the leader to make changes for the future.  The manager is short term goal oriented.
