I have learned that both leaders and managers are essential to the functioning of an organiztion. While I currently serve in both roles, I am much more a leader. I truly enjoy inspiring and motivating my team members to achieve a goal.
The lesson has taught me some of the major differnces between leaders and managers. Leaders focus on people by building relationships, helping them and an organization to grow and to reach goals. Managers are more conerned with building systems and processes necessary to achieve goals and in so doing make processes more effective.
Learned throughly the definitions between leadership and mangement! Making sure tht I understand exactly the definition of both and making sure that you have a mix of both.
I believe I both manage and lead
I learned that I have both qualities as a manager and leader. One area that stuck out was the statement regarding spending more time & attention on weaker performers vs. top performers. It was curious to me that leaders place their attention on those who are the best at what they do, while managers tend to spend more attention on weaker performers. It seems as though one would need to apply both leader and managerial components in order to address both sides of the equation.
I learned I am more of a leader than a manager.
There are key attibutes for both leaders and managers. This lesson focused on those areas and allowed me the opportunity to access my skill set and determine where I stand.
I am the lead of two Learning Communities from the university where I work for the last twelve years. I consider myself both depending on the situation and the People that I am working with. I lead by example, a lead instrument in making the mission and learning goals accomplished. I mentor new faculty members, and I manage any crisis that happened along the way.
I learned the difference between a leader and manager. I now know that I am more of a leader then a manager. I plan to work on this and become both.
I lead more than I manage, but I do have skills in both catagories. I feel I need to work more on management than leadership.
Hello Team,
What I learned in this session was the difference of where does it belong? Managers are more adminster, maintain, control, short-term view which I was surprised with the result. Also managers are more ask how and when, imitate and accept the Status Quo. Learder is more innovate, develop, inspire, long-term view, ask how and why, originate and challenge it. In this session I learn that both roles are needed to be successful and how you can be both.

I would say I try to maintain a good mix of both. However, as tasks take over the day and meetings and other activities become time-consuming leadership takes intentionality and discipline. Taking the time to maintain a plan and focus is essential. I think without this leadership activities can take a backseat to daily tasks and duties. I remind myself often that Leadership matters. It is time well spent and really makes a difference in the Department!
I learned more about myself and that I am more of manager than a leader.
I learned there are differences in leading and managing. I never considered the difference.
I learned that I am both a manager and a leader. I need to remind other faculty of our shared vision and shared goals.
After this lesson I did notice that I do have more leadership qualities; however, I do need to work on the management side.
Leadership is where I excel based on this module. I like promoted cohesiveness in the team and also am satisfied motoviating person to do their best. I do believe I need help in the managing areas.
I hope to learning the clear difference between leading and managing. I think I lead more that manage because a lot of my time is spent directing and actively guiding faculty. My goal is to move to managing their skill sets and growing their autonomy.
I leraned that is is ok to manage and lead depending on the situation.
Leaders create an atmosphere that drives organizational change.
