The document contrasts the differences between leaders and managers. Managers focus on work, seek comfort, and have an authoritarian style while using their formal authority to control resources and minimize risks. Leaders focus on inspiring people, have a charismatic style, seek long-term vision and risk, and strive for achievement through their passion and quest for truth.
