  1. This video brought a lot of information to the surface on the topic of
    leadership. As a leader you have to understand and deliver in your role.
    The reason why is because people are depending on you and looking to you to
    make the decisions that will ultimately affect them one way or another on a
    daily basis.

    On the otter hand as a manager you are focusing more on the fact that your
    employees have a job to do and your role is to ensure that job gets
    completed on time. These are two very different approaches and this video
    does a great job of comparing and contrasting between the two. The B.E.C.C
    analogy was perfectly stated and the concept is excellent.

    Thank you for sharing the information! 

  2. Managers do all of these things as well. The distinction between managers
    and leaders is often hyped up and reflects a stereotypical bifurcation
    rather than a qualitatively distinct reality. In truth, many leaders need
    to manage operations and many managers need to inspire people.

  3. Nice video you its nice to see that the prophecies over the body of Christ
    are coming to pass that it is in the church that the bedrock of wisdom and
    success in the end times will be found,, you see u put out that video fine,
    and any jack and harry can watch it, but u and I know u got something on
    the inside that keeps u in check and feeds you,

  4. It’s so important to understand the difference between management &
    leadership, especially when you’re looking to train your staff in specific
    roles. So often companies invest in the wrong kind of training. But through
    powerful videos such as these and training organisations such as ours, the
    right training will end up being given to the right people. Ingest this
    video & apply the learnings to your business, it will help you create a
    greater degree of success through increasing your clarity.

  5. To be perfectly frank, I don’t think any of these people have it right when
    they’re trying to explain the difference between a manager and a leader.
    Honestly, I’m yet to see a good manager who isn’t a good leader. It’s as
    simple as that. Leaders can be counsellors, teachers, politicians,
    colleagues, officers, managers, supervisors and much more. I have a feeling
    this is all part of the new wave of feel good attitudes where people forget
    goals for being nice and good.

  6. That’s a real issue in nowadays economical and financial life, also some
    other’s people affirmation saying that external constraints are having an
    impact on the management process. These constraints could be legal-
    political, economical, socio- cultural or educational. The difference
    between these two qualities exists and has been many times with reasons
    explained.

  7. you need both. but you can easily get managers who are not leaders, and
    have no ability to lead. so they can certainly be mutually exclusive.
    leadership is something very different than management. leaders generally
    manage well because that is the harder of the two, but there are tons of
    managers who don’t understand the difference because they are not leaders.

  8. I don’t think any of them are right because they seem to be discussing
    management and leadership as two mutually exclusive positions. They are
    not. A grocery store manager can lead and get people to follow as much as
    desired but if they don’t meet their objectives within the constraints they
    get in trouble. The kindergarten teacher crossing the road has to get the
    kids across before a car comes and hits them (management) while making sure
    the kids hold onto the rope (leadership). You need both.

  9. To many mangers think they are leaders. The diffrence is very clear, the
    manger think inside the box, the leaders is thinking outside the box. And
    it dosent matters what the product is. Is there born leaders, yes, but you
    don’t find them in scoll doing what they are told, they are not sheeps, the
    do not follow the roules. They are hard to find, but in the end they are
    the reason to why things evolve.

  10. The manager will look at this and stress over the minor details such as
    spelling errors. The leader will look at this and say the overall message
    is very clear, maybe you should work on spelling though.

  11. Status Quo have been going for years because they are making money,
    leadership is chancing you arm, it may get bitten off and so only
    successful leaders exist the rest have had their arms bitten off

  12. From my experience, leaders grow, managers don’t. In order to become a much
    better manager, you need to grow yourself daily. To me, thats a great
    leader.
