English term
Leader
Who is a Manager who Leads?
When we consider the question “Who is a good leader?”, we usually think of a powerful and/or famous person (often a man), such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, or Mother Theresa. But there are also leaders among us, people we know personally who do not have power or authority, who are not famous, and who may possess different sets of characteristics. To be an effective leader and achieve our greatest desired results, we must both lead and manage. Who do you know personally who you consider to be a good leader and manager? How do you know? What do they do?
After you have completed the exercise, reflect on the following question:
Are leaders only people with power and authority, or can anyone be a leader?
Watch the following videos to see how people at al levels lead:

Non-PRO (2): GILLES MEUNIER, mchd
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Vous avez le droit d'être en désaccord! Je mentionnais simplement qu'au Canada, c'est l'équivalent normalisé.

Jocelyne Cuenin
: leader permet d'englober plusieurs notions et de dissocier par ailleurs chef / charismatique / autorité / légitimité, pouvoir, etc. Par ex. on peut être chef sans être charismatique, mais avoir de l'autorité quand même.

Myrtille Montaud
: dans ce contexte, il me semble que leader est la meilleure solution. et comme le dit Petitavoine, il n'y a pas d'équivalent en français qui reprend toutes les nuances du "leadership"

: pas trop d'accord avec gérant et dirigeant qui sont des mandataires sociaux aux yeux de l'administration et un manager en anglais ne l'est pas nécessairement...en plus la mère Therese n'était ni l'un ni l'autre

un dirigeant influent
meneur
Leader est parfait mais on utilise quel verbe ...mener? diriger?
C'est quoi un manager qui mène ... qui est un bon meneur... mais il y a des meneurs parmi nous...on doit mener et manager à la fois.
En plus ça évite le problème de confusion avec les titres dirigeant et gérant qui ont un sens spécifique dans le cadre d'une entreprise
