A leader has ‘vision’, as well as an understanding of strategy and the use of power and drive, while an inspirational leader goes beyond all this and achieves more.
10

Some key differences between a Good Leader and an Inspirational Leader:
11

For a good leader, followers follow a person—a sort of personality cult, whereas for an inspirational leader, followers follow a dream.
12

Good leader might be efficient where as inspirational leader has to be effective…
13

A good leader can get a lot out of a good employee, but an inspirational leader can get a lot out of average employee .
14

A good leader makes his co-workers like their work, but an inspirational leader makes them love their work!
15

Great leaders will get results but inspirational leaders inspire others to excel over and above normal results.
16

Good leaders get the job done, regardless of the attitudes of their followers. Inspirational leaders actually get followers internally motivated, in fact motivated enough to be leaders themselves.
17

A leader needs to have vision but it has to be the right vision.
18
"Visionary but wrong" does not work.
