Every management book besides telling you about its basic principles, will state that manager should also act as a leader. Thus, a true manager is the one who has leading skills and knows “the art of management” perfectly. But what is the difference between the two – a manager and a leader? Let's find out.
Management experts mark out three principles that help in establishment of leading skills and promote your management reputation.

These principles imply following, looking forward, and putting people at the top spot. It means a true leader will first consider the people working on him his followers and not subordinates. Followers usually do not expect any reward, they work because they have a leader they want to look like. Looking forward is another important principle you must consider if you'd like to be a leader of your company. Typical managers are “sustainers” and usually prefer to keep things going the same way without any advancement. Finally, leaders do not work within a system, they value real people and are able to get the best out of people they work with.
