Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Managers will tell people what to do, whereas leaders will inspire them to do it, and there are a few things that go into the ability to inspire.

Leadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives.

Management is about arranging and telling. Leadership is about nurturing and enhancing.

A leader is the one who can outline the broad vision and the direction, and say here's where we are going to go, here's why we need to go there, and here's how we are going to get there. A manager is the one who actually gets up under the hood and tunes the carburetor.

Leadership is about doing what you know is right - even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.

There are good leaders who actively guide and bad leaders who actively misguide. Hence, leadership is about persuasion, presentation and people skills.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

I'm not the manager because I'm always right, but I'm always right because I'm the manager.

A leader is someone who helps improve the lives of other people or improve the system they live under.
