A Project Manager is required to lead and manage his team and stakeholders. This role requires ability to visualize objectives, create paths to reach objectives and focus the team on the course while maintaining procedures and standards. In this journey the Project Manager must also be able to take with him his stakeholders, some of whom may be having conflicting interests.

Manager is the nominated "boss". Leader is the real "boss". Both are needed.

Managers are for manage the team and leaders are to lead the team. Lead the team to meet objective/goals. Leaders always add value to efforts not just managing it.

A good manager is the voice of the team, empowers to take decisions. A true leader places the team victory above personal glory, inspires team, nothing more, nothing less. A blend of both is required.

A manager gets tasks completed.
