From this context I learned that there are many myths about managers and having awareness of these myths can be beneficial.
Effective managers must have influence and this is not a direct result of the organizational structure or "power" of a title/status.
The leader is looking out of the box to get things done but the Manager is following the guide line from organization structure (Rules and regulations) to get things done. A Leader is looking at the bigger picture where as Manager is taking care of the business with in the organization given guideline .
managers makes leaders vision come to pass
Managers helps to ensure the business is moving forward
Management has to do with accomplishment and accountability. It involves assigning tasks to a team and following on the achievement of the expected results. To fulfill his role a manager needs to have knowledge of the process is managing and skills in human behavior to guide its team to the required goal.
Managers are an important part of every organization; however, communication is the most important part of leadership.
Baing a manager is not just about authority and power. You need to have the skills to inspire and influence people.
The way you manage shows your leadership abilities.
There is a difference between a manager and a contributor. Being a great contributor does not necessarily equal a good manager.
I learned that managers are multifaceted and require a broad range of skills to lead rather than just job knowledge.
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.
