To this end, leaders guide and empower individuals to reach their full potential, whereas managers oversee day-to-day operations.

Furthermore, leaders must pay close attention to their team members and provide guidance and support as needed. They must also empower others by delegating responsibilities and acknowledging their contributions. Moreover, leadership also necessitates adaptability; leaders must navigate challenges and changes with resilience. In addition, they must promote a positive and inclusive work environment by encouraging innovation and diversity of thought. Leadership is, therefore, a dynamic process that necessitates effective communication, empathy, and the ability to motivate others to succeed.
