Some will say: but what is the difference? In fact, the difference is rather big. Have you ever work on “uncle”?
Have you ever pay attention that there is a man in your team - the head, which manages the entire process, and there is a man - a leader in whom the whole team equals to and whose opinion is respected?

Sometimes collective leaders could not achieve higher. The leadership skills are not always valued. Sometimes the person simply did not see in the person the leader… There may be a lot of reasons.

There are different groups, different staff, but often manifested a certain feature, the head is not always a leader of the team and not always the team leader wishes and becomes a head.
Overall, it is a question of psychology, education, and self-determination of the person. We all have different goals in our life and different ways of achieving them. Some better able to put themselves in front of the leadership of the company and show themselves in the best possible light, while others would not succeed.

Some aspire to management, others simply working. Sometimes the head of department receives lower wage than subordinate (leader). And sometimes it is very easily explained. The slave (leader) can be of great benefit to the company considerably over the head, but at some point, either refused to subordinate leadership positions or it is simply not offered. However, this does not mean he is not valued in the workplace.

The reasons for rejection of the leadership positions can be many: fear of liability, uncertainty in yourself, or person just like his work. Some people do not understand this “working philosophy”, but they are not worth less respected. Each has its own path to success, wealth, career. Everyone chooses their own path. Some study guide for many years, others have been given this feature by nature. Similarly, some become businessmen, and the other is easier to work on the master. This is the human psychology, which he formed with childhood. One is not afraid to risk, while the other prefers measured way of life.
Well, we’ve get such psychiatric article, but the question is rather interesting and subtle. And who are you? The head, leader or just a subordinate?
