My perspective of good management is having the ability to inspire, influence, and direct others to achieve company goals by setting the standard and being able to demonstrate that standard by example. Therefore, I believe good management also requires a combination of great leadership skills in order to effectively lead your team.
A manger is different from a leader. There are lost of myths surrounding the definition of what a manager is
I have learned there is a difference between a leader and a manager. I also learned there should be a sense of persuasion in management. This will allow you staff to buy in.
There are a lot of myths about being a good manager. The qualities of a good manager, for example: good people skills, the ability to persuade and influence.
Being a good manager requires a goal oriented mindset, good people skills, the ability to persuade and influence, the knowledge of how to collaborate with others and to encourage collaboration with others, and the ability to set appropriate business goals. I plan to keep these qualities in mind and to grow these traits when given the opportunity.
In regards to promotion into management, it takes more skills than just doing a great job to be considered for management. Mangers must be able to engage with all personalities and be able to get people on board and motivate.
Comment on Lakiya Jones's post: Hello LaKaiya, communication is the most important aspect of management I have determined. Good communication goes a long way with employees you are managing.
Leadership and management are intertwined in the mind of companies as well as employees looking to move up to management within their company. The concept of management is important to realize it is more task oriented and team driven to getting tasks completed. Management is about moving a department forward in their tasks, leadership is about vision and development of concepts, processes and functions that can move an organization forward.
Managers and Leaders have similar traits but there are also different traits needed as well.
To lead one must be fair, innovative, and able to build trust within the organization.
A good manager develops over time...leading by example with good practices such as being on time, following policies, having a positive attitude and communicating well with others. These managers create a 'TEAM" community where each member contributes to the department.
It is unfortunate that there are so few good managers among us. This goes to show, however, that managing is not only a skill that can be learned but it is a talent that can be developed. Finding someone with the natural talent to manage and then assigning management tasks to that individual would not only put that person in the ideal situation to excel and to grow but would also provide substantial support for the team.
That I still don't know the difference between manageing and leadership and I want to.
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.
