Leaders Versus Managers According to Juneja (n.d.) a leader is “one who influences the behavior and work of others in group efforts towards achievement of specified goals in a given situation”, while a manager “is a person responsible for supervising and motivating employees and for directing the progress of an organization” (yourdictionary, n.d.). “A leader is more of a coach, or even a spiritual guide. He is responsible for maintaining energy, keeping everyone on the team inspired and helping them grow, and for ensuring everyone is aligned in the same direction. A leader must be a point of strength and stability across changes.” —Dustin Moskovitz, co- founder and CEO, Asana Isabela State University Cabagan Campus | College of Computing Studies, Information and Communication Technology Buraga, R.
