  4. The difference between the Managers and leaders • Attitudes towards goals • Conceptions of work • Relations of work • Sense of self

  5. Attitudes towards goals • Managers always take an impersonal, and have the passive outlook, goals arise out of necessities, but not desires. • Leaders always take a personal, and have an active out look, shape rather than respond to ideas.

  6. Conceptions of work • Managers usually negotiate and coerce, balance opposing views, design compromises, limit choices, avoid the risk. • Leaders usually develop the fresh approaches to problems, increase the options, turn ideas into exciting images

  7. Relations of work • Managers always prefer working with people, but maintain minimal emotional involvement, and lack empathy • Leaders always attached to some ideas, and relate to others ideas, relate to others directly, intuitively, empathetically

  8. Sense of self • The managersusually come from the perpetuating and strengthening existing institutions, and feel part of the organization seriously • The leadersusually come from the struggle to profoundly alter human and economic relationships, so they always feel separate from the organization.
