Leadership

The best thing that shape leaders and managers behaviors and tasks is that leaders have followers in opposition to managers who have subordinates so one of the characteristics that both must masters is the communication skill. A charismatic leader has an unncanny ability to draw others to his side and move them to accomplish a cause bigger than themselves, to do so he must be able to simplify the ways he is showing his willing to others. In very hierarchic organization as in the military where people have to follow order, charisma is not always stress out as leader characteristic although it is almost everywhere in military training from the basic training to advance.  Some think that people are born with charisma  (as Ghandi, Martin L. King, Nelson Mandela, Paton), but I think that it can be grown. People can learn how to communicate efficiently, you plan properly and direct others with care. To be charismatic you have master technical and pragmatic skills in what you are doing. A charismatic approach is transformational if it invokes a permanent change in the people who embrace the leader's vision.  In addition to his charisma, a leader must have good potential of adaption to change and be able by thinking not only his vision (for example how to improve performance of a business, resource shortage) but also the interests of the other as well and example is the measles vaccination program in Burkina Faso a west African country. (When a former president name Thomas Sankara took over the power infant mortality was 145/1000 and a year later, with an aggressive vaccination the mortality was reduced to 2/1000 infants. His personal vision was to cut relationship with develop country, as his country did not produced vaccine he has to deal with them in order to protect kids (A good leader must be able to move between several leadership styles depending of the situation that included being really tough if need it whether one likes what he has done or no.

Like leaders managers are driven primarily by a need for achievement, but also have substantial affiliation needs and a modest need for power compare to leaders. They are work focus when leaders are people focus. The difference between management and leadership communication is the first one is using accurate words to express facts and the second to express idea.  For example in public health setting the manager have to say how many people have to be hire for a task wheres a leader must state the objectives and the expect result of a program and some time define the type of management.

One person can have leader and manager characteristic together but the 2 remain complementary if one person does not have both.
