What is the manager's perspective of leadership? How does it differ from the leader's perspective? Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization's purpose. A manager's perspective is about getting the job done and keeping stability. The leader is about change and moving workers toward the organization's vision. For a manager, the area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use "soft or people skills" to get the work done. It can be said that the manager motivates while the leader empowers.
