Working for a Manager or a Leader

2007

If I had to make a choice between working for a Manager and working for a Leader , I would , first of all , consider working environment . If business is stable and the company needs mostly organizational administration , then a Manager can be preferable type of the superior Managers are perfect in organizing people to achieve the goals . They are directing the work of their subordinates according to the plans , which are already established by someone else . Managers are great in performing routine activities , as

well as supervising and controlling Managers are usually the bosses , who appreciate strict and discipline at work , and I suppose , this is very important for successful performance

But frequently business is dynamic and rapidly developing environment which requires making a lot of risky decisions and looking for new directions all the time . In such situation , I think , it would be preferable to work for a Leader . Unlike the Managers , the Leaders know how to set up goals , motivate the employees for achieving these goals and initiate changes . Leaders can inspire their subordinates for personal improvement , support them , help them to find own place in the sun and to break a deadlock . Finally , the subordinates became the followers , who trust and understand their Leader and are ready to do the right thing . Therefore , working for a Leader brings more job satisfaction , favors personal development and can be a good challenge for ambitious employees
