A manager is responsible for administering an organization and its staff by organizing them, focusing on how and when tasks are completed, and taking a reactive approach. A leader commands a group through establishing long term goals, driving innovation, focusing on what and why through a transformational style, using conflicts constructively, and is defined by their character rather than their formal position. While a successful manager demonstrates leadership skills, a true leader need not formally manage others to guide them through their vision and influence.
