De-Vries
De Vries hold the belief that great leaders
needs to be Psychopaths also, and
personally believe that De vries hold the
right belief because little madness is
required in terms of understanding the
madness itself, and as per the popular
belief power include the hint of madness
(Kets de Vries, 2012).

Leadership/Manager
There are number of factors which clearly
reflect the difference between the leaders
and managers:
 Directions are given by the managers and
leaders guide the path through which
these directions can be followed.
 Guidance is given by the leaders, but
managers manage the things.
 Managers control the factors but leaders
focus in motivation (Sun, no date).

Continued….
The major difference between the leaders
and managers is the approach they used.
Managers direct the things by asking how
and when, and leaders guide the things by
asking what and why.
