Team leader vs Manager: while team leader provides guidance and leadership to a group of people for the purpose of achieving some result, manager oversees one or more employees to ensure these employees do assigned tasks and jobs.
Team leader vs Supervisor: Although these terms are similar, there are some differences. While team leader is responsible for instructing and coordinating a team, supervisor takes care of technical and administrative guidance of employees.
Team leader vs Project manager: while participates in projects in order to guide and instruct a project group, project manager takes responsibilities for strategic project planning and team management.
Team leader vs Team member: team leader is a management staff person who makes team-related decisions, while team member is a subordinate who implements these decisions.
Team leader or Follower: team leader is an assigned person who takes managerial responsibilities for guiding and leading a team, while follower can be any person (contributor, stakeholder) who shares the team’s interests and/or participates in performing team tasks and assignments.
