I've learned that leaderships need to motivate and inspire their employees to engage change. They need to define their purpose in leading or within their task, then generate trust in order to get results.
I've learned that you can have more than one leadership style and it can always change.
Motivation to want to lead is important - participating in mentorships and programs to increase knowledge in leading are beneficial.
Comment on George Ferguson's post: I am in a similar situation where I wear both hats-the manager hat and the leader hat. This exercise gave me valuable insight into which role I tend to use most often. I realize that I spend more time focused on management responsibilities and need to be more intentional about my leadership skills.
Leadership is about inspiring people and driving change while Management is about organizing work and improving processes to achieve goals.
Management helps achieve leadership goals by providing structure, organization, and direction.
I think that leadership is not about having all the answers, it's about creating the conditions for people to do their best work. My goal is to lead with clarity, trust, and consistency, especially during times of change.
Management keeps things running. Leadership inspires people to move forward. Organizations need both, but leadership is what gives management purpose and direction.
I intend to connect with people to learn even more how I can be a part of the team together reach the goals we are determined to achieve.
Management and leaders are different meaning, however, they work together. Leaders are innovative while managers administers.
