Management vs. Leadership
Where did this come from?
This programme is based on research into effective organisations and the effective people within those organisations. Do effective managers and leaders have to be good at the operational or functional level? Does being good at the functional and operational level mean they will be a good leader or manager? Is a good manager also a good leader? All these assumptions are dangerous and often do not work in the current world.
This research identified how leaders differentiate between leadership and management and what effective leaders do that makes them more effective. It showed how people can be effective operationally, but then be ineffective as a manager.
The insights gained will apply to:
- Leadership and Management
- Organisational effectiveness
- Business development and planning
This session will look at the difference between managing and leading. It will be an opportunity to look at defining the characteristics and competencies of a manager and a leader that will enable an organisation to develop their people to succeed as managers and leaders rather than set them up for failure.
How will the organisation or leader benefit from this approach?
- Increased effectiveness of managers and leaders in an organisation
- Managers and leaders capable of being able to adapt their ability and style to the needs of the organisation
- A basis for being able to recruit and promote the right managers and leaders in an organisation
- People having a better understanding of their responsibilities as a manager and leader
What will the leader be able to do?
- Define which aspects of a job are functional, management and/or leadership
- Allocate the right amount of time to each area to be efficient and effective
- Adapt their time to be able to respond to the needs of the business
- Recognise the skills needed for effective management and leadership
