Leaders and managers have distinct roles and characteristics. Leaders are visionary and charismatic, guiding the direction of an organization through influencing others. Managers focus more on managing people and processes. The roles can overlap, as leaders mentor managers to transition into leadership positions. Leaders are often nicer than managers and less concerned with titles. People follow leaders willingly, but follow managers due to obligations.

1. (Mt) – Leaders vs. Managers
Discuss the differences between a leader and a manager. What characteristics, activities,
and/or responsibilities are associated with each? Share an example of a leader and a
manager from your own work experience or from research and explain whether you think
the role of leader or manager can or should overlap.2. Respond the following
classmate:Robyn GreenIn my experience, I’ve seen firsthand how leaders and managers
differ. Prior to my husband’s car accident in 2018 and becoming his caregiver, I worked in
the staffing industry as an Executive Recruiter. I had the opportunity to work with both
leaders and managers for the firm I worked for, as well as the clients and candidates I
worked alongside with.Working in corporate America, I found that most leaders oftentimes
are visionary leaders. It seems as though they harness and exude a certain type of confident
yet humble energy that managers do not seem to have. Leaders know how to forecast the
future, as well navigate the direction of an organization. They also seem to have more of a
charismatic personality which greatly influences and impacts their staff and draws people
to them who are willing to see their vision come to fruition.In my role as Executive
Recruiter, I’ve met many leaders who were much nicer than their managers and a large
portion of them never really cared what their title was. I even worked with a client who
purposely did not have a title on his business card or on his LinkedIn profile. He explained
to me that he did so many different things within the company, that he never felt the need to
give himself a specific title.Managers in most cases are not as seasoned as leaders and seem
to be more “green” in the area of leadership. Managers manage people and processes and
also seem to possess larger egos and are hung up on titles. It takes a strong leader to
cultivate and mentor a manger while helping them transition into a leadership role.People
follow managers because they have to, but people follow leaders because they choose
to.3.Respond the following classmatesNieves (iliana) Vasquez
