We look at leadership from the manager's perspective and explore the differences from looking at leadership from a leader's perspective. Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization's purpose. A manager's perspective is about getting the job done and keeping stability. The leader's mindset is about change and moving workers toward the organization's vision. The area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use "soft or people skills" to get their job done.
