Team Leader Courses Online

The difference between the manager and the team leader can perhaps be best communicated in a single word – inspiration. Successful team leaders inspire team members to grow, evolve and improve themselves day in and day out, leading by example and nurturing strong team spirit. By contrast, a manager may be seen more as an overall overseer of operations – a provider of instructions and information, as opposed to a role model.
