A manager should be a leader, while a leader is not necessarily a manager. A leader is simply a charismatic figurehead, who lead, inspire people to follow them. Leadership is a subset of management. First and foremost, a good manager should have those leadership skills to urge everyone to work harder and get the project moving forward.

“A bad manager makes you work, a good manager lets you work.”

“A good manager follows the 3 ships of management: Leadership, Mentorship, Ambassadorship.”

• Leadership involves creating decisions such as which projects to choose.
• Mentorship is an efficient way to grow a team in ways that are mutually beneficial.
• Ambassadorship means representing the team within the broader socio-political context of your organization.
