Please share the ideas...................
a manager is one who knows the art of getting work done through employees and must possess the qualities like interpersonal skills,act as resource allocator,a decison maker,a problem solver , a liaison and most importantly a figurehead or in more popular terms a leader.That means very clearly that manager is a much broader term and therefore to be an affective leader is a prerequisite to be a good manager.In fact being a leader is the tip of the iceberg called a manager.Hence all managers have to be good leaders but all good leaders may not always be good managers.Today we need approachable mangers who can get work done through people by being in close coordination with them,hence an approachable leader is one who can get followers working just because they want to do it and not for any other reason .Only then it can be called effective leadership and a manager does exactly that.Hence being in HR field i feel one definitely needs to be an effective leader to be an effective manager.

Leadership - the skill of getting others to willingly do what you want them to do. This will facilitate discretionary performance.
Management - deciding what to do and then getting it done through the effective use of resources. This will facilitate mandatory performance
So to break it down further.
Managers focus on things:
• Setting goals
• Tactics
• Order & consistency
• Measuring and monitoring
• Short term focus.
Leaders focus on people:
• Vision
• Strategy
• Emotion
• Change & Improvement
• Long-term focus
To be effective, there has to be a balance, managers need to have some leadership skills and leaders need to have some management skills.

Hi,
Each one has to be an ideal combination of a healthy percentage mix of the two.If a regular task has to be followed up and achieved and if this is process oriented one needs the manager within to get the job done , there is not much need for the Leader in me...So based on the situation one has to adopt the right role!
iIn a study of Leadership patterns it is found that just as man has evolved, so also the leadership qualities and Persona of Leading qualities.
It is predicted that the future will be
about mutual meaning making, reciprocal relationships and interactions of groups.
Every employee should be Trained to take appropriate actions based on the situations.This way the employee develops a feeling of ownership!
Also it is good to understand the way focus should be when one is in the state of being a Manager and as a Leader. So it helps to adopt oneself to be ones Manager for completing ones tasks.
And like a Leader remembers the company Vision, feels and is mature enough to see the impact while taking strategic decisions.
