“Managers tend to delegate while leaders inspire and motivate those around them. Leaders are the ones that show, rather than tell, and motivate those around them to perform at their very best through leading by example, encouragement, and connection. Not all leaders are managers, just as not all managers are leaders, but those that are both are the ones that bring out the best in productivity while also treating their relationship like they are all a part of a team.”
