Have you asked yourself before if you’re more of a leader or more of a manager? Have you ever wondered if you were actually leading your people, or were you just managing your business? Did searching for the answer left you with more questions than answers — and left you more confused on what makes a leader different from a manager?

In the most basic sense, the difference between the two is how they motivate their people to work towards a common goal.
