What is the relationship between a leader, a manager, and a follower?

     The Performance Juxtaposition site describes management as focusing on the conceptual side of the business. Although, they are planning, organizing, and budgeting; they do not control people or the followers. Instead, managers are implementing the most valuable resources, people, towards teh goals and tasks to be accomplished. http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/LMCC.html
     Covey describes leadership as dealing with direction. He states that leadership is the most important element in the trio because the direction the company takes is a huge key to success. While management is working with speed, the leader is making sure the entire business is moving in the right direction. The servant leader holds the vision as a banner in front of the managers and followers. The managers are organizing and placing human resources within the structured framework to achieve results. https://www.stephencovey.com/community/
     The followers are on the same level of importance as the managers and close behind the leaders. They are the ones who produce the product or service to accomplish the visionary goals. The leaders, managers, and followers are linked together by a common vision. If any of these links are marred or broken, weakness creeps in and the company will collapse.
