Leaders are the driving force that motivate others through their vision, and allow for the managers to step up and create order through controlling costs, establishing goals and plans, monitoring company operations and performance and providing coordination between all members involved. Managers focus on providing detailed plans and schedules to achieve results even to the extent of allocating things such as funds. Leaders can be managers, and managers can be leaders but sometimes there are stark differences between the two. Leaders can be motivating and charismatic, but sometimes can not organize their followers to attain their optimal potential to accomplish goals. On the other hand, managers may be too organized to be charismatic for fear of lightening up too much.
