Leadership Continuum or Management Continuum?

Leadership Continuum or Management Continuum?

The Leadership Continuum Model shows management styles from "autocratic" to "full control". Most managers do not make good leaders and vise versa. A leader is a visionary, one who can motivate employees to work toward the common goal. A leader sets the tone for vision and mission statements, earns respect from subordinates, great speaking skills.
Managers are focused of departmental functions entailing procedures, processes, and highly detail-oriented aspects of daily function.
