When
there is a promotion for a role with the responsibility of managing people,
there is no automatic chance to be a leader. Management and leadership of
people are two different aspects and here is a discussion of all of these
differences between roles and responsibilities of managers and leaders that are
discussed below:
·
All of the possibilities are derived by
leaders for better development of an organization and leaders can provide
better inspiration and engagement to their employees so they can turn their set
vision in reality. They think with long term benefits that normal individuals
cannot do. Activation of people is done by leaders so they can perform at a large
and bigger level (Arruda, 2016). They predict later things and analyze
that high skilled teams can work properly and they can accomplish challenging
things by working together as compared to the autonomous working of
individuals. However, the focus of managers is on measuring and achieving goals
for an organization. All of the situations to accomplish objectives are
controlled by managers.
·
Change agents are leaders whereas the status
quo is maintained by managers. Leaders are considered proud disrupters and they
are having innovation in everything to promote their business in a better way.
Changes are embraced by them and they better know if things are even working,
they can be preceded in a better way for further improvement. They accept that
change in an environment and processes can lead it to better conditions and change
can create waves while managers stick with the work and refining system and
they are stick with the existing structure and processes and tries to make
these existing things better (Liao & Chenwei, 2017).
·
Leaders are unique because they create new
things whereas; managers are copied as they only precede the established things
by leaders. Leaders are self-aware and they work more actively for the development
of their unique personal brand. They stand on their own things and are
comfortable in their own shoes. They take things in a transparent way however
managers just copy the competencies and things they got from others and they
just adopt available leadership style but do not create things on their own.
·
For defining new things, risks are there
and leaders take risks to derive new things in their fields. They willingly try
new things even they are predicted with risks in it. They take failure as a
step toward success. However, risks are minimized by managers. All of the
problems are tried to avoid by them and they do not embrace things. They do not
take risks at their own and control problems in already established processes.
·
Leaders always take things with the long
term benefits for an organization. They work with intentionality and they are
always motivated to accomplish their vision as they stay proving themselves for
the achievement of their goals (Arruda, 2016). However, managers are working with
short-term goals and they seek regular acknowledgment.
·
Leaders develop things personally. They
believe that if they are not nor revealing new things with every passing day,
they cannot develop themselves and they are curious for the changing world and
they remain linked with changing circumstances of the working industry (Liao & Chenwei, 2017). They expand their
thinking by seeking information and people while managers prefer existing
skills and adopt accepted working conditions to be successful.
·
Relationships are built by leaders. Leaders
influence people and they are required to influence stakeholders so they can
realize their set vision. They utilize their time with their stakeholders because
they are aware of their specific stakeholders. They consistently deliver their
services and according to their promises and develop loyalty and trust among
them. The required structure for the achievement of goals is focused by
managers and their focus is on analytical factors. They assure the desired
place of a system for the accomplishment of their required outcomes (Belbin & Meredith, 2012). They work with
their employees, their set goals and objectives.
·
Leaders have certain criteria of skilled
and professional people and they are assuring of their skills that they are
able to achieve their assigned mission. Their people are more optimistic and
concerned with complete efficiency. Leaders are a coach and tell them about the
work and its processing. Tasks are assigned by managers and guidance is
provided by them for the accomplishment of goals.
·
Fans are created by leaders. People follow
them because of their inventions and these people become their promoters. These
promoters help them to accomplish their goals and with the help of their fans,
their visibility gets increased with established credibility. However, managers
have their employees who are obeying their instructions so they can get a high
image in front of the boss (Liao & Chenwei, 2017).
Functions of managers and the role of a leader in an
organization

The
considered company to analyze the responsibilities of managers and roles of a
leader in an organization is Toyota. All of the set aims and goals of this organization
are set by its managers and it is their main responsibility. These goals are

strategies that are prepared by managers of Toyota for the accomplishment of
their goals such as KAIZEN that is considered an effective strategy for
improvement on a continuous basis in all of the processes of production that
can increase the effectiveness in its products. However, the responsibility of a
leader in this company is to create communication between the duties that are
set by managers to workers and their focus is on the struggle of employees
regarding processing to their set aims and goals.

of elements of an association is to execute powerful and potential practices
that lead to advancement in coordination in the entirety of the procedures with
the assistance of correspondence and successful administration methods (Kelloway & Kevin, 2012).

in the Toyota and these procedures are leveled out and checking of directors of
an organization while the entirety of the results are confirmed by pioneers as
