Another difference between leaders and managers is that leaders emphasize innovation above all else.

Whereas a manager seeks to inspire their team to meet goals while following company rules. A leader may be more thorough assessment concerned with setting and achieving lofty goal. Even at the expense of existing corporate structures. When a worker has a radical new idea for how to tackle an issue. A leader is likely to encourage that person to pursue the idea.

Managers may be more likely to preserve existing structures because they themselves operate within that structure. They may have bosses above them, so they have less freedom to break rules in the pursuit of lofty goals. Leaders, on the other hand, often operate fairly independently. That allows them to tolerate a greater amount of chaos. So long as they believe it will be worth it in the end.

However, the leader’s devotion to innovation can sometimes come at a cost.

Chaos and high-pressure work environments can create interpersonal issues. When such issues arise, a manager is more likely to see it as their duty to smooth over problems between employees. Leaders can sometimes be so singularly focused on achieving lofty goals. They let interpersonal issues and employee welfare fall to the wayside.
