Planning

  • A manager's planning involves budgeting, setting targets, establishing detailed steps, and allocating resources.
  • A leader's planning involves devising strategy, setting direction, and creating vision.

Organizing

  • A manager creates structure, writes job descriptions, establishes a hierarchy, and delegates tasks.
  • A leader gets people on board for the strategy, communicates, and builds networks.

Directing/Leading

  • A manager solves problems, negotiates, and brings to consensus.
  • A leader empowers people, acts as a cheerleader, and motivates.

Controlling

  • A leader motivates, inspires, and gives a sense of accomplishment.

Performance Measurement
