I have had the experience of remembering something more easily if I had a conversation about it. As an educator, I enjoy teaching because I learn so much from my students and is sometimes in awe of their perspectives.
Do you find training a manager/leader facilitate the development of your leadership skills?
The stories about the principles are touching. They make me think about why i am a Teacher. Great stuff !
I have been through leadership training in the past. I enjoyed this course because I coul do it at my own pace.
When hiring a manager, it is important not only to look at what the current level of supervision is. In many cases, the position is in a state of growth so therefore it is important to ensure that the candidate will be able to keep up with the anticipated increase of responsibility.
After taking this course, I've learned how important followers are to the leadership impact. All pieces are necessary to obtain results. I've always been under the impression that it's on the leader; however, the overlapping framework is critical. I hope to implement many of the strategies from this course into my professional development to create a more positive environment for my team.
I find that the greatest challenge with leading is when you have to lead those that were previously mislead. The challenge is that the processes and vision are not new but it is a big "change" for them to conform when they previously did not. I feel that poor leadership can have lasting consequences on staff. This lesson has reinforced the importance of quality management and leadership teams that work together honestly and that realize their actions have lasting consequences for others.
Great subject matter. I can see where the combination of the two is effective and also the use of two different individuals in this position is just as important.
