Are You A Manager Or A Leader?
This is an important question and I think you will find some interesting answers. Sometimes it can be a blurry line. Sometimes a manager is also called upon to lead. If you are a manager of a department, or company you are likely managing product/service, process and people in terms of performance and deliverables. You may have some approval authority – most likely you have the authority to say no – but- you are answerable and accountable for you and your team. As a manager you are also responsible, a role model, and an ambassador for company values and policies. Many of you are leaders in the making. For those of you who lead, recognize the importance of your own ability to manage situations and people who are an integral part of your power team.
As someone in the driver’s seat, own that responsibility. Until you do you will find that accomplishing your goals may be a game of chase. As someone who is in-charge- you cannot afford distractions, or be “one of the guys/girls.” There needs to be a differentiation in order for you to make informed and unbiased decisions.
So now you’ve made the distinction and the decision to accept the responsibility of your role. The following are some tips to keep you on –course and working smarter.
