Leadership | Origin: LS101R

This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:

Do You Manage Or Lead? --> Leadership

Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

Leadership qualities can be born or learned.  Many people are much more comfortable with some of the duties associated with these tasks but others struggle to get the buy in.

Leaders are born, but they are also made. We all have the same capacity to develop leadership that transforms realities; however, it is a very personal decision that requires preparation and a strong strategic focus.

leadership and management is different and most company will need both because leaders are visionaries and managers are the one that make it happen with the team.

Managers and leaders are two distinctly different roles; both offer advantages and are valuable to an organization.

I have learned the difference between leadership and management, and they are not interchangeable.  They work together as the visionaries and the ones that implement.  Leaders can be created through learning and development, demonstrating it to be a myth that leaders are born.

A manager needs a good leader in order to get goals accomplished.

A leader can be a manager, but a manager is not always necessarily a leader. 

A leader shapes the vision and strategy, while a manager ensures the tactics are executed.

A leader looks at things from a 30,000-foot view to gain a high-level perspective and then works with management to ascertain the details to make improvements  

Los lideres son visionarios y motivan al equipo para que se autoregulen, vs el gerente que implementa la visión del lider, organiza al equipo y los mantiene enfocados. 

Me surge la inquietud si realmente un gerente puede ser un lider. En mi opinión, si lo llega a ser, existirían funciones como organizar y mantener enfocado al equipo que no lo realizaría, entiendo que en este caso es porque ha motivado al equipo a que se autoorganicen y autoenfoquen. Aquí es donde surge mi inquietud, si logra que se autoenfoquen y autoorganicen entonces ya no estaría realizando tareas de gestión???

Leadership is a calling to serve, Educate and motivate. Leadership is about what people do together. Said another way, everyone in an organization contributes to leadership.

Actually after this part a question came to me: can a manager be a leader?

Leaders are the visionaries and managers implement that vision

Leaders are visionaries, and also motivate the team to align with others and the organization.

Leaders and managers play essential roles within any organization. While their tasks and responsibilities differ, they complement one another to support overall success.
 

 
 

For me the most important takeaway was that leadership does not coincide with a job promotion. I think many companies blur these lines often. 

It's so true that leadership can be a learned skill. With practice, feedback, and experience, anyone can grow into a strong leader.

I need to be both a manager and a leader in my role. So, I will need to organize and plan, but also motivate and inspire to complete the work, activities, etc. I set up. 

Good leaders know they have to adapt and evolve with the needs of a group and the situation
