The document discusses the differences between leaders and managers. It states that a leader influences others to achieve goals through personal characteristics and challenging circumstances, while a manager is responsible for planning, organizing, controlling, and coordinating groups to accomplish organizational goals through systems, processes, and structure. Though managers have authority over hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination of employees, they are not necessarily leaders if they do not effectively communicate, motivate, inspire, and encourage others. The document concludes that while leading is a management function, not all managers are leaders as leaders transform organizations through innovative vision and inspiring trust in people, whereas managers focus on maintaining existing systems and structures.

Managers do not differ from leaders based on their personalities or styles.
Leaders are not just more lively, charismatic or larger than live managers
Any mangers can lead by promoting new directions
Managers can be inspiring as leaders
Although groups may have informal leaders who emerge, those are not the leaders we’re or have studied.
Because the conclusion is that LEADING is one of the four management functions, ideally all managers should be leaders.
Bennis:
The role of the manager is to administer and maintain systems in order.
Managers focus on systems and controls. Their main concern is for the ‘bottom line’ (short-term profit), referred to management as
transactional leadership, which is ‘ doing things right’.
The function of the leader is to innovate and develop. Leaders focus on people, not systems. Their main concern is for the longer-term, not the short-term profit figure. Bennis referred to leadership as transformational leadership, which is ‘doing the right things’.
