Managers- Manager is a person who is responsible for the activities like motivating,
supervising and directing the staff members for different process in business. Manager have the
power to lead each functioning department of company that is there in business for proper
functioning of all function to run in constant manner. Managers have the main task that is to

capability to instruct and motivate the employee to achieve the objectives of an organisation
within given period of time. To enhance companies productivity level there is need to motivate
their staff members (Husband, 2019).
Difference between managers and leaders
Managers and leaders have different function but seems like they are playing same type
of role which means they looks like interchangeable. Managers are the one who sets the
objective of the organisation which is according to vision and mission of an organisation. After
setting up the objective, there is role of leaders to communicate decided objective with their staff

members. Along with this, there is need to motivate them in such a manner that they willingly
follow the guidelines which are given by their leaders to attain objective.
MANAGERS LEADERS
Managers have the responsibility to set the
objectives of organisation. Then need to
communicate all policies with leaders of their
company and Tesco managers follows the
same.
Leaders works on objectives which are set by
managers and then communicate all policies
with employee effectively. This help Tesco to
achiever their objective effectively.
There can be seen that manger provides
instruction and direction to the groups and
different function. Managers of Tesco should
provide their instruction to everyone with
suitable manner (Carter and Peters, 2016).
In other hand, leaders instruct their team
members to achieve the goal and objective of
within given period of time.
There is an important role of manager is to
manage all the resources specially human
resources and implement in the plan with an
effective manner,
Leaders are the one who influence staff
members in relation to work with high level of
potential to achieve the objective of
organisation.
Managers are reprehensible to develop some
effective strategy and different idea for
improvement of company.
Leaders are obliged to execute those activities
and ideas in an effective manner (Knoll, 2016).
Tesco is a British multinational company which offers high quality grocery and home
essentials in more than 13 countries globally. Higher authority of an Tesco are very effective and
talented. In relation to make the strategy and to implement their strategy in well manner. This
leads to enhance the productivity and performance of organisation. There can be analyse that
managers are the one who develop the standard for performing task whereas, leaders are there to
communicate those skills to their team members and staff in effective manner. This directly lead
to completion of work according to time and requirement. Thus, it can determine that this
differential role of leader and mangers leads to growth and development of an organisation.
