From the Paper:

"Traditionally, successful organizations have a combination of leaders and managers at each level. Leaders provide the vision and the overall mission that the organization strives to achieve, while managers administrate the day-to-day activities that help achieve the vision. Organizations cannot long survive without both leaders and managers: organizations without leaders lack the vision for long-term success; organizations lacking managers do not have the infrastructure necessary for the discipline to achieve the leader's vision. Leaders guide organizations in new directions while managers set forth the policies which solidify those changes. It is difficult, if not impossible, to determine whether leaders or managers are more important to an organization's development; instead, both are necessary components to a successful organization."
