How to retrieve null value from self joined table

Time:10-26

I have a table employee with primary key "Emp_id" and the same primary key's value in the same table's column "Manager_Id", Some employees are the manager of other employees and some are not. Some Employees have manager and some don't have manager, means the column of "Manager_ID" is null.

Emp_id Emp_name Manager_ID
1 John Null
2 Ben 3
3 Jolly 1
4 Mike 1
5 Richard 3

Here is the query I'm trying:

select a.Emp_Name as Employee, b.Emp_Name as Manager
from employee a
left outer join employee b on a.Emp_ID and b.Emp_ID
where a.Manager_ID = b.Emp_ID

I have to print Emp_name and Manager Name from only one table, and also where the Manager_ID is "Null" I want a Null value in the resultant table but I am unable to do this.

For example, I need the resultant table like this.

Employee Manager
John Null
Ben Jolly
Jolly John
Mike John
Richard jolly

You can do:

select e.emp_name as employee, m.emp_name as manager
from employee e
left join employee m on m.id = e.manager_id
