Business > Leadership Strategies Being a manager vs. being a leader

5 of 52

Are you a leader or a manager? Leadership means promoting new directions. Management means executing existing directions. These definitions are purely functional - they refer to what leaders and managers are meant to do. Definitions that refer to style or personality simply don't work.
