Manager Vs. Leader

I have been reading a fascinating book by Marcus Buckingham--The One Thing You Need to Know. In all my reading and research Buckingham has done the best job of differentiating a manager's role from a leader's role. He describes a manager's role as being a coach who figures out the best way to transform each employee's talents into performance. In other words, each employee's success is his focus. He describes the leader's role is rallying people to a better future that he sees. No matter how good things are at the moment, the leader is never satisfied with the status quo.

For an organization--like Esperanza--to be successful both roles are needed. One person can possibly fulfill both roles but it may take at least two people.
