There are multiple learning styles and it is up to the professional to identify those styles of learning and move accordingly to allow the learner the best opportunity to learn and be successful. 

As a leader understanding emotional intelligence can give a great understanding of your team personality and why they do the things they do. It gives a better understanding of how to approach certain situations at hand.  

Managers are important to get the leaders dream in motion. Also leaders tend to be more influentual where as managers are strictly business.

Managers maintain the status quo and leaders challenge it

Leaders are the visionaries and managers carry out that vision

There are distinct differences between being a manager and being a leader

Active listening is such a critical tool & one that I catch myself constantly having to willfully practice. 

I found that this was a great training to help me with a PDLP.

I inherently distrust people I suspect of being inauthentic, & distrust impulses away from inauthenticity in myself, so naturally I think authenticity is paramount in leadership. 

I think being a leader that you have to set the stage for your employees. Everyone has a different mindset on how their job or role should be performed. However, being a leader it is our responsibility to assure that the structure is there from the start, and make sure if we see a struggle that we are there to assist them during that time.
