Manager versus Leader

Unfortunately, people often talk about leaders who are not. Or from managers who have no leadership qualities. The direct translation from English is not helpful in this regard, because a leader is more than just a manager! They differ in the following points: 1. Vision and goal setting 2. Motivation and inspiration 3. Approach to change 4. Decision making 5. Communication 6. Employee development 7. Influence and power A true leader gains influence through credibility, trust and respect. The power of true leaders lies in their ability to inspire and rally others towards a common goal. True leaders are and were: Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela.

The Law Of Empowerment

Take care of your employees and recognize the people behind the work and position. People are not machines, not even you! You must recognize and promote this. People want to be seen. They want to receive recognition and trust. You too, don't you? Effective leadership attracts and brokers the talent of others. Authentic leaders turn people into leaders and give them positions that are even higher than their own. Leaders who act like this multiply their influence!
