Advocate

I am a rational leader and act as the spokesperson in a group. I use both linear and non-linear approaches while arguing a point. I have a logical, and persuasive style.

People Mover

As a leader, I can spot talent and motivate people. I take the lead in building teams.

I can spot niche markets and convert ideas into reality ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"0w9TXAYV","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}The Leadership Legacy Assessment: Identifying Your Instinctive Leadership Style,\\uc0\\u8221{} 2011)","plainCitation":"(“The Leadership Legacy Assessment: Identifying Your Instinctive Leadership Style,” 2011)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2262,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/RM7VYZS8"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/RM7VYZS8"],"itemData":{"id":2262,"type":"webpage","title":"The Leadership Legacy Assessment: Identifying Your Instinctive Leadership Style","URL":"http://www.yourleadershiplegacy.com/assessment/assessment.php","issued":{"date-parts":[["2011"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“The Leadership Legacy Assessment: Identifying Your Instinctive Leadership Style,” 2011). I act as an entrepreneur and believe in the end results.

Experienced Guide

I am a good advisor for people as I can put myself in others' shoes. My subordinates consider me as a natural therapist as I help them in resolving their problems.

Difference between leadership and management roles

A manager in an organization performs four basic functions of management such as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They perform these managerial duties to meet organizational goals and objectives. Managers work on a strategic vision and develop a roadmap to be followed by the team

There are only a few managers in the organizations that are capable of performing other functions such as communication, motivation as well as guidance to people in an organization. These managers take the role of leaders and inspire people with their personalities. They also create a vision for people and give them direction for achieving goals.

Managers perform the role of organization and organize and manage the routine processes while managing their status quo. In this way, they have a focus on structures to build systems and processes. They pay less attention to developing relationships. On the other side, leaders have a goal to develop positive relationships with subordinates. They are good motivators and encourage subordinates and team members with their personalities and abilities. Therefore, they have a motivational style rather than authoritarian style ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"XUhcAUiH","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Anderson & Sun, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Anderson & Sun, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2263,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/DRB4ZIGB"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/DRB4ZIGB"],"itemData":{"id":2263,"type":"article-journal","title":"Reviewing leadership styles: Overlaps and the need for a new ‘full‐range’theory","container-title":"International Journal of Management Reviews","page":"76-96","volume":"19","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Anderson","given":"Marc H."},{"family":"Sun","given":"Peter YT"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Anderson & Sun, 2017).

Furthermore, managers are risk-averse and strive to control the risk in different processes. Conversely, leaders perform the role of innovators and come up with new ideas. They search for better ways to make things better. They are always ready to take risks ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"XRLou4zi","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Anderson & Sun, 2017)","plainCitation":"(Anderson & Sun, 2017)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":2263,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/DRB4ZIGB"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/KZl8ZL3A/items/DRB4ZIGB"],"itemData":{"id":2263,"type":"article-journal","title":"Reviewing leadership styles: Overlaps and the need for a new ‘full‐range’theory","container-title":"International Journal of Management Reviews","page":"76-96","volume":"19","issue":"1","author":[{"family":"Anderson","given":"Marc H."},{"family":"Sun","given":"Peter YT"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2017"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Anderson & Sun, 2017). Moreover, managers have a more focus towards the control while leaders motivate trust within their teams. In addition, managers have a role in executing plans and they focus more on "how" and "when. Leaders, on the other hand, assess and analyze failures and focus on questions "what" and "why".
