"Manger isn't equal to Learder"

"Is he is a successful leader or manger?"

The biggest current management problem that I found out in the place that I am working at now is leadership problem. The manger that I work with isn’t a good leader because he didn’t win our heart. And I noticed that when we mention about manger we will think about leader. However, in real life “Manger isn’t equal to leader”. For what I had understood, good leaders should able to make their workers to have motivation at work and they should able to make their workers feel satisfaction about their job. Unfortunately, manger’s duty is to reinforce the rule at the work station, so he has to be strict and always carrying a black face with him. Maybe he is trying to follow what Shakespeare had said before, “It is better to be fear then to be loved.”

I have the same problem with my supervisor at work too. She's always so angry for some reason. She's really strict and she wasn;t like this before she got promoted. The thing is, if she doesn't affect the flow of work then I have nothing to say, but my supervisor goes on ignoring people and slows everyone down, that's when there is a big problem and someone has to talk to her about it. Doesn't it just suck having a boss that can't lead? You are definitely right, managers are NOT leaders. Leaders would do what is best for the office, while my supervisor is making it personal the problems she has at work.

This sounds like "John Williamson," the office manager in the movie Glengarry Glen Ross.

I think the attitudes a manager treats his/her fellow staff members depend on their positions. For example, in my opinion first-line manager should treat their workers more thoughtfully since first-line managers mostly will get sectional parts of the whole operation of a company, and they know their surrounding environment better. On the other hand, middle and top manaers probably should be more deserted.

apprarently, he fails to be a capable manager. Few workers can be as productive as they should be under pressures. I think you should find a way to let him know about this. Otherwize, try to avoid seeing him... if you can
