Be a Leader, not just a Manager...

The manager speaks to your ear,
A leader awakens your spirit like a seer.

The manager drives his men,
A leader inspires them.

The manager depends on authority,
A leader on goodwill.

The manager evokes fear,
A leader radiates love and spreads cheer.

The manager says I,
A leader says WE.

The manager talks first,
A leader listens first and wins trust.

The manager dictates future direction,
A leader inspires for reflection.

The manager says who is wrong,
A Leader shows what is wrong.

The manager talks and wants you to walk,
A leader just walks the talk.

The manager criticizes,
A leader advises and empathizes.

The manager rules,
A leader serves.

The manager is a task man of the rat race,
A leader is a teacher with magnificent grace.

The manager is trained,
A leader is made.

The manager demands unworthy reverence,
A Leader earns respect with perseverance.

The manager is about numbers and reason,
A leader is about dreams and vision.

So, be a Leader and not just a Manager !!
