This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:

Do You Manage Or Lead? --> Management

Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

Differences in managing style.

Manager focuses on organizing and controlling, while a leader inspires and motivates their team to achieve a common goal. 

The negative connotation of management is a real bias that needs to be checked for and corrected. Strong managers are essential to organizational success.

A leader inspires and guides people toward a vision, focusing on innovation and growth, while a manager organizes and directs tasks to achieve goals, emphasizing efficiency and stability. Both roles are essential, but they differ in their approach and impact.

A set of characteristics and behaviors of a manager, a definition if you will.

Good Managers are hard to find and once you get them difficult to train.

I will apply the management skills I learned to improve teamwork and communication in my projects. By staying organized and setting clear goals, I can ensure efficiency and better results. These skills will help me lead with confidence and adaptability in any situation.

Management is the administration of business concerns or public undertakings, while leadership is the ability to inspire and drive individuals to excellence.

A good manager helps their team grow.

The big difference between a manager and a leader is in the management of people. Managers carry out tasks and are rigid in their minds. Leaders inspire people and lead them to success within organizations.

The key difference between a manager and a leader is that management focuses on accountability and recognizing achievements, while leadership is about providing direction, inspiring, and motivating others.

The module presented several myths about management. Setting boundaries so that I won't burn out.

There are myths about what it's essential to be a manager. Being a top performer doesn't really mean that they will be a good manager

I learned that managers have to be able to influence and respect everyone who comes in contact with them. Goals play a vital role in educating

So far this module has given the statistics to what many experience when it comes to poor management. I am excited to learn more about what is needed for leadership and management 

The main difference between a manager and a leader lies in their approach and focus. A manager organizes, plans, and controls tasks and resources to achieve specific goals, emphasizing efficiency and structure. In contrast, a leader inspires, motivates, and guides people toward a shared vision, focusing on innovation and empowerment. While managers maintain order and follow established processes, leaders challenge the status quo and drive change. Both roles are essential, but a manager ensures things are done right, while a leader ensures the right things are done.
