Leaders vs Managers
Leaders VS Managers
In my experience leader and managers are completely different. To be perfectly honest I never just put much thought into it until this lecture. But nevertheless I can more than relate. A manager only concern is to complete the task at hand regardless of how it affects others as long as the task is completed. A manager takes undeserved credit just because of his title or position. A manager only makes rules and pass them down and never really experience or encounter the rules they make or are given to pass down. Managers just execute them. Leaders take the time to explain not just relay rules.
Take a Production Manager for instance a new rule has come in affect which requires all assembly technicians to wear protective gloves. The Production Manager calls a team meeting and informs to assembly tech that they are now required to wear safety gloves at all times when working on the production floor. However majority of the assembly technicians disagree they argue the fact that the gloves are hot, uncomfortable and slow down their process which then slows down production. The Production Manager is not at all interested in the employees views on the rules just like the typical manager he only enforces the rules informing them that if they don’t follow the rules corrective actions will be applied. Now on the other hand a Leader which there is considered to be a Team Leader over the assembly line walks the assembly technicians back to their work area explaining to them that he understand and if a station need his assistance to keep up he would be more than happy to assist them. The Team Leader then goes on to explain that another employee was injured and the company feel that if he/she was wearing protective gloves it could have been avoided. The Team Leader also took the time to get on the assembly line wearing the gloves and preforming varies jobs to make the other employees feel comfortable.
A manager is more concerned with his/her stability
