in charge of directing and managing a group to achieve a certain goal.

Manager levels are:
1.
First line management
The first-line managers
are the lowest, often known as operational managers. His job is to lead and
oversee the non-managerial employees involved in the production process.
2.
Middle management
These middle-level
managers are among first line managers and top managers, their duty as a
liaison between the two.
3.
Top management
The top manager is in
charge of planning the activities and strategies of the organization or company
in general and directing the course of the organization or company.
How manager act:
The manager has a job
in delivering the job, for example what he asks us to do, and how you solve it.
Managers have very detailed properties, and he further reduces the risk,
because a manager will think time is money, so when your work finish quickly it
will be better. A manager is also more often to give instructions, if we are
not sure of what we make, we can confirm what we should doing. A manager also
always has a tasks, which is he will stick to the plan so that his tasks will
be completed as soon as possible. When we reach our target, it means our
mission is successful. All what we do will be seen from the results. And if
there is no mass, a manager does not demand something to be improved. If our
plan does not work, we have to fix it before we are discharged. And a manager
will follow the plan. Managers will more often approve of what we do rather
than motivate and also have deadlines. Almost all managers prefer to do with
logic rather than trust. And we do it should be right, because for managers
"rules are rules".
LEADER
Leader is people who have the ability to
influence, motivate and make others contribute to the success of an
organization.
Effective leader
behavior:
- Maintain good attitude.
- Creating work discipline.
- Provide clear, decisive, complete and appropriate command.
- Provide a reprimand for task repairs.
- Accepting suggestions from subordinates.
- Giving praise and appreciation to subordinates.
- Strengthen the sense of unity.
- Introduce new members if any.
The theories of
leadership:
Trait Theory
- · Emotional stability and calm: Calm, confident and predictable especially when under stress.
- · Acknowledge Error: Do not cover the mistake that has been made but acknowledge the error.
- · Good Interpersonal Skills: able to communicate and convince others without using negative and coercive tactics.
- · Extensive knowledge (Intellectual): Able to understand a variety of areas rather than only understanding certain areas or certain knowledge only.
Behavioural Theory
In reaction to the
Theory of Personality, Behavioral Theories provides a new perspective on
leadership. This theory focuses on the behavior of leaders rather than their
mental, physical and social characteristics.
Contingency Theory
Contingency Theory
assumes that there is no best way to lead and declare that any leadership style
should be based on certain situations and conditions. Based on this Contingency
Theory, a person may successfully perform and lead very effectively in certain
conditions, circumstances and places, but his leadership performance will
decrease when transferred to other situations and conditions or when factors
around him have changed.
How the leader act:
The leader has a
selling soul, for example "I have an idea, and I believe this idea will be
successful". And the leader can determine the direction, the leader will
show what we will do. Leader dare to take a decision, actually this is hard for
us, but results will be very good. Leader will support their employees and of
course have a mission, for example “I like the way you thinking about our
project, and we will see how this way will success in our project”. The leader
will prepare for the future, for example "everything will be finished and
everything will be included in the budget and it will be prepared for the next
phase". Leader will looking for the chances and think long term, what
happens now whether it can affect in the future. Leader is a creative person
and always give the employees motivation. They will share the idea not just
assigning tasks. He will trust his employees rather than
just assigning tasks. Doing the right thing, the rules do
exist to be obeyed, but sometimes there are timing we should get out of the
zone.
To sum up, Managers and
leaders have different ways of organizing an organization. The leader sets the
direction or vision of a company - the leader is responsible for the new
direction the company is aiming for. While the manager, set the team and humans
who exist within the company in accordance with predefined values and
directions.
Managers use more
rational methods. How to work to achieve targets, organize what each team
member should do. While the leader is more use the heart. Encourage everyone in
the company to take part in the company's future plans. How does his idea for
the company in the coming years.
