There can be many different managing styles and each workplace environment will have to be tailored to a certain teaching decorum.
Being a good manager doesn’t automatically make you a good leader.
Often, we make the mistake of putting good managers into leadership roles without realizing that the skills required are different
Comment on Alan Moore's post: Estoy de acuerdo con tu comentario Alan, yo misma he caído en esa confusión, especialmente en creer que el mejor trabajador sería un buen líder. Esta primera parte del curso, me ha hecho reflexionar y darme cuenta que esta errada en esa apreciación.
La pasión es un elemento clave del liderazgo, cuando se hace algo con pasión se contagia y se logra conexión con las personas. En el caso de la gestión, son pocos lo casos de gerentes que transmiten pasión en lo que hacen, generalmente están enfocados al logro de objetivos sin pasión. Es como algo "rutinario", no es algo que lo haga "vibrar de emoción".
People skills are fundamental for a manager. To motivate, to make sure the team goes toward the same goal, and to increase the performance of the employees s only possible when the manager knows how to connect with the team.
High performer does not mean good manager

The best performer on the team is the one most qualified to be the manager. when putting in manager roles, naturally engage in team members.
Surprising to see how people think they are ready to be a manager just because they are top producers and have people skills. Also very interesting the part about the myths of management.
I found it interesting but not surprising to read through the myths. One I found to be especially interesting is the one that states 50% of employees leave their job because they have a bad manager.
I am learning that there is a difference in leadership and management. Although they can be combined, management focuses on keeping things in line while leadership encourages the managers and others to continue to strive for better.
What I gathered is that you are not necessarily a good leader just because you are a good manager does not mean you are a proven leader in your organization. However, I will say that the lines can be blurred and most organizations want their managers to be leaders as well.
Managers and leaders both work to help a team reach its goals. The difference is that managers focus on tasks and organization, while leaders focus on people and motivation.
Leaders need to be more than just managers. They need to cultivate and maintain relationships and know how to motivate, not just know how to do the job.
A manger ensure tasks are completed, focuses on efficiency and handle day- to- day operations
It's interesting to read the myths of management and seeing them debunked. It's also a harsh truth that 1 in 2, 50% of people leave a job because of a bad manager, highlighting the importance of good management.
I've learned that management skills are different than leadership skills and that there are many myths about managers.
Greetings,
What I’ve learned thus far is that the definition of manager and leader are often used co-equally, however, they are uniquely and distinctly different.
Although leadership and management are intertwined, but they are different concepts.
While we tend to use the words management and leadership interchangeably, they have different functions and characterisitics.
Differences in managing style.
