Fundamentals of Management vs. Leadership
Hours: 1.00
Few things are more important than leadership to any organization. Effective leadership at all levels enables a company to fulfill its mission and successfully make an impact in the industry or community. The absence of leadership is equally dramatic in its effects. Without leadership, organizations move too slowly, veer off course, or sink in the wake of competition or economic uncertainty. In this course, you will compare management and leadership to learn the distinctions between them. This comparison will create a vibrant picture of what you need to do to become the most effective leader you can be, regardless of your title. You’ll learn the most respected traits of leaders and evaluate your own strengths in these areas. These topics include how to step into the leadership role, managing up, and action planning to work better with your boss.
The goal of this course is to provide managers and leaders with leadership tools and methods.
