Leadership is situational and also shifted depending on the faculty you are addressing.

Leadership is impacted by your team(followers) as well as the situation.

As a leader it is important to assess your team and provide them with the resources they need to be successful. (i.e. coaching, additional training...). Leaders must always lead by example and provide a sense of purpose, build trust and nurture hope. Your team will feel inspired and positive results will come.

Lead by example, be supportive, give everyone a voice before making the final decision.  Get to know my team and provide them with all of the resources they need to be successful in their role.

Leadership and Management have a symbiotic relationship. Both are equally important.  A strong manager and a strong leader that share the same vision is essential for organizational success.

Leadership is a critical part of achieving the overall organizational goals.  Leaders do this by keeping the team committed especially during times of change. Leaders can do this by recognizing their team to keep them motivated.  I am committed to recognizing every individual of my team.  Each member is essential in their own way as they come to the table with their own strengths to contribute to the team, and at the end of the day, the overall organizational goal.  

A good manager definitely needs good people skills, needs to be goal oriented, and be able to persuade others while at the same time meeting best practice business goals of the organization.

It is important to keep students engaged through relationship building that include listening and timely feedback.  

Wether involved in synchronous or asynchronous teaching expectations must be discussed and students must be able to understand where and how to access information in the course. Communication between instructor and student must be often.

Tools for online learning must be appropriate and fit both the instructor and student learning/teaching needs.
