Leader is one who can visualise, conceptualise and convince the team of people on a particular strategy, has the ability to bring people to his line of thought and motivates the team to move on. A manager is one, once the ideas are converted into a deliverable work packages, then manager takes on focuses solely on that and gets it delivered. Leader has no constraints like budget, time and team size and quality. Leader is above all these. Leader's vision and ideas will be guidelines for the manager to set budgets, time, team and quality standards. |

However, the leader and manager can be the same person depending on which hat he/she is wearing. A leader is bestowed with skills and abilities that can transform ideas into results. A manager is somebody who can execute that vision into reality. Make no bones about it that none is any less superios or inferior than another and both are instrumental to the success of any project. Manager is kind of a define position with bounded responsibilities and resources. A leader is more freelancce with his thinking and ideation.
I agree with you Mr. Raghu
A manager tries to get maximum benefits of the available resources. He/She relies on high efficiency and productivity of existing resource. A leader on other hand has a creative mind. He/She is an inventor and is constantly thinking of changing and improving the way things are done. He/She can sacrifice efficiency or productivity for some time to promote creativity and hence finding novel unconditional ways. A leader is more risk savvy then the usual manager. A leader is always on look out for new ideas. He/She looks at his/her resources like people, machinery and computer systems in a different way then the manager. Manager aims to extract maximum value from these resources unlike a leader who aims to get different more valuable output from the same resources.Which means that Leader Convinces the idea & manager helps to deliver that.
Samir I beleive we are not talking about the post "project manager" and "project leader". Leader does not manage day to day, he is the philosopher and visionary.

An organization or a society needs both leaders and managers. Too many leaders, too many innovators make a risky scenario. It also leads to unstability and often mutual clashes. A manager on other hand is a stabilizer and ensures smooth at times boring functioning of things.

I could say is managers work with processes and leaders work with people, managing complexity involves planning, budgeting, organising, staffing, controlling and problem solving, whereas leadership involves setting direction, aligning people, motivating and inspiring.

There are 2 kinds of leader one who leads from the front and other leads from the back.
TL is one who leads from front he's like commander in a battle, where as PM is one who leads from the back with all strategies.
A leader leads while a manager manages. A leader is a field player who participates in the main battle and takes instant decision which does not have long term effect. He is a visionary and is well versed in handling team. He manages people and helps them to provide their best.
A project manager's role is altogether different. He plans, he monitors, he assesses risks involved. He is a mediator, a communicator, a connection point of all stakeholders.

hi all, idea itself has clearly indicates that two terminologies are totally different.normally leaders are technocrats or something like that.leaders do have so many inherited qualities such as natural decision making, thinking of multiple choices at same time, one who has the capacity to mesmerize others, never follow anybody etc., only few can become leaders and not all.But, project managers/ managers are those who simply follow the process.some times they might take accurate decisions but those decisions will be within the framework of thier project only.so i think we should not correlate between those two models at all.let us not forget that any leaders views, approaches and perceptions are always different and not easily understandable. |

You can be promoted to a manager role, but you cant be promoted to be a leader. Leaders not only point goals and give out tasks but also encourage people to show their own initiative and creativity. They take decisions when its needed and are always ready to face any problem team can encounter. Youd willfully follow the leader while you wouldnt follow the manager if you didnt have to. |

Project leader his primary job is to ensure that his team can work and that everyone is playing by the rules. He will also be an agent if not the agent of change in his organization: identify what prevents to organization from advancing and eliminating that impediment.But when comes to project manager he Select Team Members, Select Tools, Plan Tasks, Monitor Progress and Success, Coordinate Work between Team Members and also budget etc..

See when comes to Project Management Institute, it defines five process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. In all, PMBOK describes 44 processes of Project Management that hardly focuses on the essential aspect of leadership. This does not mean that Project Managers should not be leaders; on the contrary, to make a good project manager, one must be a good leader. The PMBOK is silent on the areas of leading people and focuses more on managing processes; however, the ability to motivate others to their maximum potential is crucial for effective leadership of projects.
