“If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings and put compensation as a carrier behind it you almost don't have to manage them.” - Jack Welch
Outside of work everyone is a manager, because everyone manages their own life: money, time and decisions. But in work, we often don’t think of ourselves as a manager until we have some form of control and/or authority over other people.
A manager has a wider picture. Not only do they inspect and monitor things now, but it is also usually their job to make predictions, to plan ahead, and to decide how things will change and develop. A manager also generally reviews the past when planning and forecasting the future. Thus, the difference between the two is perhaps their viewpoints: the supervisor is often mainly concerned with the present, and the manager with future, present and past.
