I hate it when people mix terminology together. For me: a leader is the one that sets the direction. A manager is the one that supports the team so they can do their job. Those are 2 different responsibilities. Sure, they can be combined into 1 person, but don't have to. So for me it's always weird to read articles where they interchangeably use "manager" and "leader", as if it's the same thing. No it's not! And there the problem starts where companies think that a "manager" == "boss". NO! A manager is at the service of their team!
