Alright, so this is a discussion post based question. There are two components to the question. 

THERE NEEDS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 5 sources and 3 in text citations (APA). These posts require good English and in depth answers, my professor is highly strict about this. Not Investopedia, Wikipedia, or sources like this. The stronger the source, the better. 

Here is the following scenario for the question:

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.  

The area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use "soft or people skills" to get their job done.  It can be said that:

The manager motivates while the leader empowers.

In the following five quotes each leader is commenting on the perspective of a manager in an organization as opposed to a leader.  

"Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things." Peter Drucker

"Leadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives." Rusell Honore

"When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact." Warren Buffett

"Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them." Paul Hawken

"Management is nothing more than motivating other people." Lee Iacocca

The questions that need to be answered:

Question 1.) Comparing and contrasting the roles of managers and leaders, particularly with respect to the quotes above

Question 2.) Present arguments for why managers must be leaders and decision-makers, if they are to ensure the completion of specific objectives.
