I learned that leadership takes experience and schooling to have a balance. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean your a leader, gaining experience through practice will develop needed lessons for leadership. 

In regards to promotion into management, it takes more skills than just doing a great job to be considered for management. Mangers must be able to engage with all personalities and be able to get people on board and motivate.  

Comment on Lakiya Jones's post: Hello LaKaiya, communication is the most important aspect of management I have determined. Good communication goes a long way with employees you are managing.

Leadership and management are intertwined in the mind of companies as well as employees looking to move up to management within their company. The concept of management is important to realize it is more task oriented and team driven to getting tasks completed. Management is about moving a department forward in their tasks, leadership is about vision and development of concepts, processes and functions that can move an organization forward.

Leaders lead while Managers manage.

The biggest eye-opener is that leadership can be displayed by anyone not just the CEO of the company/

Managers and Leaders have similar traits but there are also different traits needed as well. 

At this time in my life, I have been tasked with the complex responsibility of managing. I know that I am a leader, and that is what sometimes makes my current role challenging. I find myself wanting to innovate and find ways to improve processes, but I am burdened with the responsibilities of managing the current processes. I do believe that honing my managing skills will help me to be a better leader, and once I return to the role of a leader, I know that I will be much more effective than I was before. 

Leadership is skill that is embedded in one's character.

That a manager brings about stability, but a leader brings about change
