One Contrast Between Leaders and Managers
One contrast between a manager and a leader is that managers enjoy stability…
…While leaders love chaos…
They may not admit it, because it sounds somewhat morbid, but leaders love when things are messy…
The truth is leaders love fixing a problem…
Leaders love leading a charge through adversity…
Leaders love a challenge…
Since, leaders are heads up more than heads down…
…And tend to see the big picture over the details…
Real leaders thrive best when everyone else is looking for a leader.
He or she loves figuring out solutions to different situations….
Leaders love forming strategy…
Leaders love shaping a team…
Leaders love attaining those things everyone else said couldn’t be attained…
Leaders love to lead…
Considering this observation, are you more of a leader or a manager? (Read THIS POST for more on this subject)
Do you agree? (Feel free to disagree.)

Daniel, love your comments. Thanks for reading.
Well if leaders appreciate the chance to constantly move, revaluate what is going on, draw new connections within old data, solve problems and move on — yeah that's me.
Do you think leaders LOVE the chaos or that they’re just better able to function within it?

Well, that’s probably a better way to say it Jason, but honestly, most the leaders I know get very bored if there isn’t something to fix, solve, or lead. Actually I think it’s the disarray that keeps them challenged and motivated.
