Abstract
This article will focus on differentiating what makes a leader and a manager, and how these qualities might differ when looking at the very top of an organisation compared to lower levels, as suggested by Peter Farey [1]. It is known that managers tend to seek control of the situation, avoid instability and resolve issues in the quickest manner possible. On the other hand, leaders are more inclined to allow chaos and uncertain situations in favour of getting a better understanding of the problem and gain helpful insights. Management focuses on planning and building, whether as leadership strives to give direction and inspiring [2]. But can these two profiles be fulfilled by the same individual [3], and can we see different answers to that question when looking at a high ranking managers compared to mid-to-low level employees? These cases among others will be explored in the following page.
