Which makes it important to note and distinguish that manager and leader are not synonymous.
A manager that believes they are a leader because they are a manager is usually very bad news.
A leader doesn't need to be a manager.
It's difficult to find leadership qualities in managers, often times because many that WANT/DESIRE to manage want to for purposes of power and control.
A true "king" LEADS his army into battle on the field, he doesn't command and order them to fight from behind the front lines.
