I believe that there is a significant difference in someone who leads a group versus one who manages. Often times you will see a boss manage his/her group towards meeting the bottom line by “going through the motions.” On the other hand there are those who lead their group towards a common passion/goal. A charismatic leader is one that is RESPECTED for both their knowledge and passion for what they believe in. Leadership is a quality that can transform a group towards seeking greatness, despite outside stressors such as the economy and pessimists.
