Ann Marie Puig explains the difference between a leader and a manager

By: WebWire

Management and leadership can be interchangeably used today. They are not the same thing, even though they have similar goals. Ann Marie Puig is a specialist in business operations and explains the key differences between management and leadership.

People often think of managers as those who tell others what to do. Leaders are able to inspire others through their words and actions but not by giving them orders. Puig states that, while these roles are accurate, they make us believe we're better off calling ourselves leaders than managers.

It is important to recognize that leadership and management are essential for any organization. As we will see, leadership and management are crucial for an organization's success.

Adds Puig, “Leadership and management are essential competencies that contribute to institutional value. They are not better or worse than each other; they are just different.”

Leadership is about inspiring and motivating people to achieve extraordinary results. It also helps to create capabilities for excellence. Leadership is the act of leading and directing others to reach their goals. Leadership requires vision and creativity.

Puig explains that leadership is not about seniority, status or management. A leader is someone who makes promises, requests and offers. Leaders can give an interpretation of the past, make promises about the future and are able to build trust with others.

The community that is being led gives the leader authority. It is not enough to simply make a statement. A leader is someone who has a personal commitment to the mission as well as the ability to bring people together. When people trust the leader to lead the team towards their mission success, leadership will be evident.

Leaders embody leadership mindsets and actions, and are different. Leaders are defined by who they are as individuals and how they are perceived by their environment. You are not automatically a leader if you do leadership actions or hold a leadership position.

Management is the act of managing. Managers are responsible for managing the company's workforce and operations. You are responsible for ensuring that operations run smoothly, that everything is in its right place, that it is done when it is due, and that documentation is provided where needed.

Managers are people who plan and organize. Managers are meticulous and evaluate the progress of their processes to ensure that it is going according to plan. They will adjust their baseline assessment if they are not successful.

It is crucial that management understands the organization and sets clear goals. It could be improving customer feedback or increasing profit margins.

Managers also have a top-down view of the company. Managers are often the eyes and ears of the company and have an enormous influence on the organization. They ensure that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

You may have noticed that leadership and management overlap. Leaders and managers can both lead. Both skills are important, but they require different skills. They approach similar problems differently. That is the difference.

Puig states, “Leadership is about vision and management requires tenacity. A leader must create a vision, state a mission, and develop a narrative. Managers must have the ability to translate that vision into reality with the resources already in place.”

Leadership is the key to transformation, while management facilitates it. Leaders must inspire others to follow their direction. The process of following these directives often involves a lot more change. This is where sound management comes into play. The manager is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the changes required and achieving the organizational transformation envisioned by the leadership.

Leadership is about inspiring, motivating, change, and setting a purpose and direction. It is also developing enthusiasm, unity and the ability to let the journey unfold. Management isn't about change; it's about stabilizing an organization and making use of all available resources to achieve goals.

Leadership and management are not distinct concepts; both can be done by the same person. This isn't the case with “You are either a manager or a leader.”

It is essential that every organization has a place for leadership. Leaders are essential for every company. They have to be able to define the role of each individual and decide the game that the organization will play.

Without its own understanding of the world, an organization can't survive. It must make alliances and seduce people to unite under a common background. These leadership spaces can be achieved with different degrees of success and effectiveness. Leadership is essential for any organization.
