Leadership and Management
“The single defining quality of leaders is the capacity to create and realize a vision" Warren Bennis
Leadership and Management are different, but complementary skills. Management relies more on planning, organizational and control types of skills. Leadership, on the other hand, relies on skills such as creativity, vision and determination. But it is clear that both are necessary for an organization to succeed. Individuals who aspire to leadership roles, whether in a small team or a large corporation, need to develop the full range of leadership and management skills to be effective.
Our Leadership Effectiveness Profile and Management Effectiveness Profile shown in the product listing below, can provide you with a great assessment of your current skills in each area, and provide some suggestions for improvement. Many people start their personal development journey with one or both of these assessments. An HR director recently wrote to us about their experience with the Leadership Effectiveness Profile and said this, "Managers learned exactly where they needed to improve. The development suggestions and coaching tips helped them formulate sound development plans focused on the right improvement efforts. Highly recommended."
These concepts of Leadership and Management are also explored in more depth in a recent article by ReadytoManage author Dr. Jon Warner Leadership and Management: Do we need one more than the other? which you may find of interest.
Take a look below where you will find some great quotes on the topic of Effective Leadership Skills and Management Skills as well as a listing of some of our ReadytoManage products to help you continue exploring this topic. You’ll find books, assessments, games, workshop kits and more.
