Emotional intelligence is a necessary characteristic for a leader. Without having emotional intelligence, empathy, or self-awareness, you cannot lead others efficiently.

To determine whether a leader or a manager is needed for an assignment, a person should ask: 
Does this task require inspiring a team and setting a new direction, or is it about executing an existing plan? 
Is the focus on motivating people through uncertainty, or organizing resources and ensuring deadlines are met? 
Are we solving a novel problem needing vision, or maintaining efficiency in a routine process?

A leader is important because they motivate and align people toward a shared purpose, driving progress and adaptability. A manager is crucial for maintaining structure, ensuring tasks are completed effectively, and keeping operations running smoothly.

A leader inspires and guides people toward a vision, focusing on innovation and growth, while a manager organizes and directs tasks to achieve goals, emphasizing efficiency and stability. Both roles are essential, but they differ in their approach and impact.
