Are you a manager or a leader? Many people assume that if you are a manager, then by default, you are also a leader. But that isn’t true. So, what’s the difference? A leader would walk into the office every day and seek to answer the question, “What if?” They get out of the weeds and keep a strategic view of the organization. A manager would go to work and focus on “what is.” They might pull their team together to research new tools or ways to help with daily inefficiencies.

While not all managers are leaders, managers will be more successful if they develop their leadership skills, and vice versa. This month, we show you how you can improve those chops by developing effective delegation and conflict resolution capabilities. We’ll also show how personal insight can improve your leadership style.

Though there are very few people great at both managing and leading, it’s possible to find a balance. Our interactive webinar will show you how. Leadership and management are distinct but overlapping areas, and both are vital to business success. Our guest expert Mark Levy makes a case for why you must have both at the workplace.

So, in the end, it doesn’t matter whether you have a leader or a manager at the helm. The key to building effective teams is celebrating the nuances of figuring out what personality type best suits your company culture and the demands of a particular role and hire/develop accordingly. See you next month with insights into the employee lifecycle!
