"Managers change things, Leaders change the world." Very important distinction right there. Makes perfect sense.
Ten differences between managers and leaders: 1) Essence: stability/change 2) Rules: make/break 3) Approach: plans detail/sets direction 4) Culture: execute/shape 5) Conflict: avoid/use 6) Direction: existing roads/new roads 7) Credit: take/give 8) Decisions: make/facilitate 9) Vision: tell/sell 10) Style: transactional/transformational
I initially clicked on this to get some help with an essay, but ended up leaving not only educated, but really inspired. Thank you!
That is cool, I have had several people mention the video has been shared in their college studies. Tell your professor I said thanks

Managers do all of these things as well. The distinction between managers and leaders is often hyped up and reflects a stereotypical bifurcation rather than a qualitatively distinct reality. In truth, many leaders need to manage operations and many managers need to inspire people.

Exactly right.
My professor showed this in our leadership class. Just awesome. Had to watch it more than once.
I've watched this multiple times over the past few years and it always makes me think about if I'm being a manager or a leader with my staff. I would like to think I am a leader and they would follow.
Scott you put in to words what people feel! Well said!
Excellent work! Concise, inspirational, and easy to follow. Would love to see more from you
You got me nodding throughout, Scott! A great and precise masterpiece!!!
Bravo Mr. Williams! I am sitting here attempting a paper that compares the differences between leadership and management and you just gave my paper life! Great job and continue to be a leader of change. God Bless You!
I'm a second year masters student, I found this extremely on point, thank you.
Kudos Scott Williams this is one great presentation. I absolutely love, believe and live this philosophy. Thanks for sharing.
Great video and a great representation of what I preach every day around my organization. Been following your blog and this was very well done. Great job.
Great video! Gave some excellent points on leadership, not only at work but in life! Thank you!
With years of significant growth and experience in the area of management and leadership, I can say, Scott is right on! Scott, I am very imrpessed! To setting the direction, breaking the rules, and new roads!
You are so totally right about Leader and management . Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Excellent! Clear, concise, great examples. Graphics, just right!
That was amazing. Thank you for sharing! I understood more about the difference between managers and leaders in that 5 minute video than reading several books and articles.
I was directed here by my professor Leadership at Empire State College, this is a really good video and quite inspirational.

Wow, @Scott Williams, that's the most valuable summary of managers versus leaders I have ever seen. You have eloquently laid out the key differences, and effectively communicated the value that leaders bring to people. Bravo! I am glad I found your video. Congratulations!
Thank you, Mr. Williams. Tomorrow morning I will start my new post as Office Manager. I have been so nervous because I have always been a leader but never a "manager". I searched for "tips for new managers" and this video is the first I watched. How glad I am that I found this. Thank you SO much for helping me realize that I can continue leading my co-workers without having to manage them. You have helped me so much without ever actually meeting me. Keep posting these gems. You gained a subscriber.
I REALLY LIKE THE WAY HE DEFINED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MANAGER AND A LEADER.HE TALKED ABOUT ENCOURAGERMENT. I FILL LIKE THATS #1
Very well put in such a short period of time! Love it! Thank you...
Thanks Scott I've watched alot of your videos and they have helped put clarity on alot of my NVQ assignments 😎
So good I watched it twice. Thank you for the reassurance that I'm headed in the right direction.

This video brought a lot of information to the surface on the topic of leadership. As a leader you have to understand and deliver in your role. The reason why is because people are depending on you and looking to you to make the decisions that will ultimately affect them one way or another on a daily basis. On the otter hand as a manager you are focusing more on the fact that your employees have a job to do and your role is to ensure that job gets completed on time. These are two very different approaches and this video does a great job of comparing and contrasting between the two. The B.E.C.C analogy was perfectly stated and the concept is excellent. Thank you for sharing the information!
this was said very well. i have been feeling a little overwhelmed this week your vision has helped enlighten me. thanks for the video
Hi, Scott, I'm in college right now as I write this comment and this video is in my studies you talked about how you lead not manage your staff. And that alone says a lot because there are a lot of churches as well as the company's don't know the difference between the two. And for me, it will take me a long way in whichever to go. Thank you, Scott.
Concise and [the] presentation on point; you've provided direction, as it is only unto those who listen to understand the purpose of what your describing.
This video is SOOOOOO inspiring ! wow! Thank You Scott
Scott, I just finished watching the video. This is probably one of the best, if not the best, example of defining the two! Great job and thanks for sharing! Rob
Your depiction between the role of the Manager and the role of a Leader was perfect!
This is a great description to understanding what I need to do in my personal goals for success.
The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones that do! What a powerful message! Awe inspiring, thanks for the lesson on management and leadership Scott, that was brilliant! Uncle Mik

Amazing! Thank you. I needed this today.
That was one great video. I am going to save it and watch it again and again. Thank you!
good video, something to remember though that you need attributes from both sides depending on the staff and the task at hand. What is also really good to note is that the roles of leadership, management and follow for any individual should change depending on what is needed to deliver the best. sometime leaders need to follow and mangers need to lead
I really love this video. It really inspired me to want to be more of a leader. I've always felt as if I was a leader, now I KNOW I am one. Thanks Mr. Williams for the inspiring info.
I'm a college student and is taking various classes on management vs. leadership. This video has helped me put everything in perspective of my classes in a straightforward manner. This video was awesome and thank you for sharing.

Great presentation. Definitely worth sharing, thanks.
thank you for those words of differentiation really unluck a new sight of administration for myself
Very well worded. Thank you, that was inspiring!
Excellent, succinct video about leadership v management. Those looking for further literature on this topic can research the following scholastic authors; Denhardt, Starling, Drucker, Pink, the list is endless. Mr. Williams, keep up the good work !
Well said. Resources are managed - People are led - Thanks for this post
I so thoroughly enjoyed this...thank you so much
GREAT video. Excellent summary and not one wasted word. Thank You.
Thanks you Scott Williams. I just understand myself with your clip !!!!!! a big evolution in my self comprehension.
Great stuff! Leading is showing the way. Managing is planning, organising, controlling. You need a mixture of both, I guess.
Thank you for this video! I would describe myself as leaning more toward the leadership side, with a tad of manager!
I'm very thankful for this video. It is very helpful and it's clear and informative. It's one of the best out there on the topic 💯✨💯✨💯✨💯✨
Excellent, excellent take on the differences between the two roles. Both are needed and appreciated. One cant survive without the other. Nonetheless, a leader is a special person. We can train to be a great manager, where I feel Leaders are created.
Me encantó. No solo por la claridad, sino además por lo inspirador.
Awesome video!!! keep doing it like that
Thank you Scott for this simple amazing video! I learned and remembered a lot!
You gave an excellent explanation Appreciated!!! That was terrific!!!
Love this - Thank you Scott!!
I looking at many leadership vs management videos this is the most succinct. very good
