Discussion Post: Health & Medical Analysis of Leadership and Management
To prepare for this Discussion:
1) Reflect on your professional experience with leaders with whom you have interacted as a follower, colleague, or supervisor. Consider the strengths and weaknesses these professionals had with regard to leadership and management skills. How well did they perform their roles as managers and as leaders?
2) Then, drawing from your professional experience, identify a leader with whom you have interacted as a follower, colleague, or supervisor that matches only one of the following descriptions:
a) They are a good leader lacking effective managing skills.
b) They are a good manager lacking effective leadership skills.
c) They are an effective leader and manager.
d) They are neither a good leader nor manager.
Post an analysis of leadership versus management in business, being sure to address the following:
Question 1) Without giving the actual name of the leader you have selected, identify their strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a manager. Then distinguish the individual's leadership skills from their management skills.
Question 2) Analyze the effect the leader had on the business environment where you worked at the time. Was there a need for both management and leadership from this individual? Explain why or why not.
Question 3) Identify two lessons learned from working with this leader that you could apply to your own professional practice as a leader and/or manager.
