“The manager maintains, the
leader develops; the manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader
focuses on people; the manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust; the
manager has a short range view; the leader has a long range perspective; the
manager imitates; the leader originates.”
Warren Bennis
As you can see from the
quote above, there are distinct differences between leadership and management.
A leader is someone who knows where to go; they set the vision. A
manager is someone who knows how to get there; they implement the vision.
While LEAP (Leadership
Education in Action Program) addresses leadership development, The ABC’s
of Management program focuses on sharpening your management skill set.
If you are looking to gain
or improve your basic management skills, The ABC’s of Management
program is for you! This 9-part workshop series was designed to provide you
with the abilities you need to stock your management skills toolbox!
Participants completing all 9 workshops will receive a certificate of
completion.
