The difference between a leader and a manager

A leader comes under the CXO community, like a CEO, CFO, etc. in the corporate world, and political leaders are like MLAs and MPs.

Manager posts are Project Manager, Bank Manager, Human Resource Manager, Account Manager, Sales Manager, Fund Raising Manager, Laboratory Manager, Advertising Manager, Promotions Manager, Brand Manager, Product Manager, Employee Relations Manager, Risk Manager, Health Manager, etc.

Leaders are visionaries, role models, motivators, influencers, and delegators, but managers manage the task between resources to deliver the results. A leader creates another leader.

The leader used to have an attitude.

The simplest difference is that the leader makes policy, but the manager makes sure that policies are being followed.

To make people laugh

This is an important skill.

Motivation

Leaders used to motivate people not only with their words but also with their actions and tiny actions. Action taken by an individual is one of the key attributes of leadership skills.
