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.
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.
