There is in fact a stark difference between being a manager and a leader. You can be a good manager but that does not mean you are a good leader. While most of their job scopes go hand in hand, they are not the same thing. A manager tells his or her employees what to do whereas a leader encourages his or her team to work better. In short, good leaders have people follow them while managers have people work for them. 

In order to be a successful person, be it a business owner or entrepreneur, you need to acquire both roles to get your team work with you towards your vision of success.
