Managers are essential to a company however not every high performer holds the ability to be a great manager. In fact, it takes more than just high performance numbers - to be a great manager you need to hold a high level of skills in people and influence.
I am starting to realize that there is a distinction between managing and leading. Not all managers possess leadership skills.sess leadership skills.
Leaders can be managers, but not all managers are leaders. Managers have to be task-oriented, but also have to have people skills like collaboration.
management isnt about bossing people around but by having a passion for people and the job itself.
Being a good leader can be challenging, but holding standard and policy and communicating is essential.
Comment on Kassidy Lax's post: Your statement is true Kassidy, but it takes a different kind of personality to manage teams with diverging needs, performance levels, and skill sets. While I think the two roles can overlap at times, I also think that the role of a manager is tougher than that of a leader.
Managers on on the front lines putting out what leaders are envisioning. Not all great workers are good managers.
You must be a good leader to manage.
Although very similar, both managing and leading require different skills and qualities within a leader to make sure that everything is still organized and delivered to the team in an efficient manner. Managers are essential to the growth of the business and the growth of the team/leaders.
I have learned that leadership and management are different. Many people can manage tasks and projects, which differs from guiding or directing people. Leaders do more than provide instructions or dictate orders while managers are critical in ensuring outcomes are executed accordingly.
People confuse Leadership with Management. They are different.
I think that people associate the words management and leadership with being the same people or the same role; however, we know that management and leadership are different. This module helped me understand the difference between them.
Managers aren't always the top performers! It's one thing to get things done on your own, management is about influencing other to get things done as well.
Interesting to learn the various myths about mangers.
Being a good manager does not necessarily mean you are a good leader.
That the skills that lead to someone's success as an individual performer are different from those needed to be a great Manager.
Seems like both are required for an organization as they come with different skillsets and purpose.
To be a good manager is to be a good faciliator and someone who simplify things for his or her troops.
Being a high performer does not necessarily mean that you will be a good manager.
FRUSTRATED! This module provides descriptive characteristics of management and is unclear on the delineation between management and leadership. The positive aspects of this module was confronting the negative Myths of Management. Overall this module felt unsatisfying.
