What's the difference between managers and leaders?

• Managers have employees | leaders win followers.
• Managers react to change | leaders create it.
• Managers have good ideas | leaders implement them.
• Managers communicate | leaders persuade.
• Managers control groups | leaders create teamwork.
• Managers try to be heroes | leaders create heroes all around them.

You get the picture: Managers maintain the status quo while those who possess high impact leadership qualities take their organizations to new heights. How does an organization get the leadership qualities it needs to thrive? The bad news is, few people are "natural born leaders." That's why so many organizations suffer from lack of leadership.
