Here's how you can transition from a manager to a leader in a startup.

a. As a Leader you shall have to learn about the company's vision, align with it, contribute tangibly to it by going beyond a team boundary. b. It is said that Manager is a Title BUT Leadership is a Privilege, so it is good to take up this privilege. c.

The difference between managing and leading is in the former you are micro-conducting movements of the team while in the former the members have a lot more ownership of their movements. Giving team members an aligned vision and awareness of their role & responsibility in aiding that vision is key to making that happen. The vision is important, but I think the latter is equally as important. The members must know where they fit the vision clearly.

Transitioning from a manager to a leader in a startup involves shifting your focus from managing tasks to inspiring and guiding your team. Start by developing a clear vision and communicating it effectively to motivate and align your team. Empower your employees by delegating responsibilities and trusting them to make decisions.

Lead by example, demonstrating integrity, resilience, and adaptability. Prioritize building strong relationships and being approachable to create a supportive and dynamic work environment.

Being a leader is being a place of trust, and transition from manager to leader, where being in a leader position and having consistent actions and decisions and working along with the team rather than being ahead and letting them know what to do and what the works need to be done.
