Ideally, a quintessential manager would have both valuable leadership skills and know how to manage a team effectively, but that is not always the case. People like to believe the terms could be used interchangeably, but even the textbook definition differs. A manager is in charge of controlling a group, while a leader has the ability to inspire people. A manager refers to having power, while leadership refers to having influence. Both are important in business, but leadership is a trait that is not easily taught.
The text by Neumann and Neumann breaks down CEO leadership skills into three different measurable categories, implementation, vision, and focus. This was interesting because multiple people can be leaders, but their strengths may differ. They reinforce the idea that some of the traits are not easily taught. Vision, for example, “is the most complex to develop as it is rooted in an individual cognitive style and the ability to identify complex patterns in the environment and their derived opportunities.”
