I have learned that in a position of decision making, you have to be equipped with both leadership, and management skills. You need to inspire, lead, motivate, and effectively communicate to be a leader. 

It is a very informative course with different case scenario. In practical life, I see there is no firm boundary between leadership ans a managerial and these bot roles are vey interdependent.

i think you can apply, booth requisite just depends on with  situation, is relative to the different styles 

I manage, but lead when someone else doesn't

In this lesson, I believe that I both manage and lead. Coming from a "group" setting, it was evident that not everyone in a forward motion is made for managerial positions. But you learn to navigate around that and set your own goals to push yourself and organization forward. To add, leaders are MADE and not born contrary to popular belief. I would not have been able to lead the new hires at my job without years of training and learning HOW to properly lead without micromanaging.

great class!

I believe that I am a leader and a manager.

I have learned that in order to be a good manager, you need to have the ability to become a good leader as well.

It depends on the situation. I believe that everyone needs to hvae the capacity to do both as both are important to having a well rounded administrator.

I have learned that you need to understand the approach and skill set to be a good manager in order to be an effective leader. The balance in approach is key to success.

I think i'm a leader. I'm always trying to focus on the people, for the people and with the people. 

I would like to believe I lead more than I manage, but the truth is it seems few and far between. In the classroom it was easier to see and accomplish.  You had your moments when you knew you could lead, lead, lead....in administration, it seems so much about "reminding" people of things that need to be accomplished. The relationship part of leading is the intangible. 

I am both a leader and manager. 

I'll admit sometimes I'm still a little confused with the difference because they do seem to share similar qualities. However, I understand that a manager is more "in the trenches" and a leader is kind of like the visionary of a small group. I am able to apply these definitions to people I know in my own life which helps me recognize the qualities easier.

I believe leadership is a skill that needs to be used frequently but on the other hand you need a foundation to back you up 

This was a great lesson.  Based on the materials, I believe that I manage and lead.  We operate with a very small team.  My success has been and will continue to be linked to my effectiveness in both areas.  

I believe that I manage and lead. Lesson one taught us that a good leader is also a good manager. It takes a little of both,

By learning about these two concepts, I can say that I am more a leader than a manager since to me it is more important the morale behind a task than the task itself.

I lead my group and I have strong managers as well as good followers. 

I believe I am a manager and leader.  I believe I can continue to learn and grow my abilities.
