leadership and management is different and most company will need both because leaders are visionaries and managers are the one that make it happen with the team.

I learned that a manager can also be a leader, with the right attitude. the most important thing in both a leader and a manager is considering what needs to be done for the company and relaying the objective to your staff in a professional manner. 

Comment on Randi Wolf's post: Robert Lee In this lesson I learned the skills needed to be a effective leader.

Leading like a true leader means understanding no only you own emotions but also those of your team.  Empathy, active listening, and self-awareness build trust and inspire collaboration.

By caring

In this module, I learned the importance of adapting the leadership style to the situation and the team’s needs, rather than basing it solely on the leader’s personality or temperament. I also understood that trust, empathy, and effective communication are key elements to inspire and guide others.

I plan to apply this in my professional environment by balancing management with leadership, fostering collaboration, personal growth, and a shared sense of purpose within my team.

I have yet to determine if I am a leader or a manager. 

Managers and leaders are two distinctly different roles; both offer advantages and are valuable to an organization.

Managers focus on short-term goals and processes.  They are focused on compliance and efficiency; whereas, leader focus on people and long-term direction by inspiring others and motivating team members to achieve goals. 

I learned that a leader must be there for all those good and difficult moments supporting the team with anything they need to be successful. A leader must be visible and approachable. A leader must take time to know every person of the team, to know the strengths and weaknesses and provide extra support to those who need it.
