They also possess the skills to motivate and encourage people. A Leader typically can see the big picture and plans for unexpected circumstances. Manager • Someone who is in charge of a business, department, etc. Someone who directs the training and performance of a team • Responsible for planning, organizing and directing the work of others • Have Employees (Rules) • Directs Group • Try to be Heroes • Take credit • Exercises power over people • deals with tasks; punctuality, accuracy, schedules, procedures, etc. • Oversees your work and time • Someone who supervises staff on their daily job responsibilities. I would say they focus more on the smaller picture while making sure routine responsibilities are being met. Their lack of vision will create micromanagement and focus on smaller problems that are not as important to the organization.
