{"Image DocumentName": "Management vs. Leadership", "Image ImageDescription": "Leadership - occurs whenever one person attempts to influence the behavior of an individual , regardless of the reason. Management \u2013 process of working with and through individuals to accomplish organizational goals. Management ALWAYS involves Leadership. PROMPT TO THE AUDIENCE: So what is the difference? [body of slide set] Lot of times when we discuss leadership and management, we talk about it within the context of saying something derogatory about management \u2013 as if it\u2019s somehow a lesser brother. Yes, there\u2019s something called Visionary Leadership. Focus is on: Long-range and strategic planning or figuring out where NEXT to take the organization, rather than perfecting existing processes and outputs. Inspiring and influencing individuals both within and outside the formal chain of command. Visionary Leadership is key to an organization, but when we focus on Situational Leadership, we are focusing on the skills that managers need to have, no matter where they are in the organizational chain of command, whether you\u2019re a Unit Director, an Executive Committee member, a Central Office Policy Wonk, or the Director of the Department of Mental Health. PROMPT to AUDIENCE: Why is focusing on visionary leadership not particularly useful? Often based on charisma, and charisma is something you\u2019re born with and cannot be learned \u2013 situational leadership is something that can be learned , practiced and perfected. Visionary leaders can be a Lincoln or a Churchill, but they can also be a Hitler or a Mao Tse Dung. Yes, there are skills involved, as anyone who has ever participated in a Strategic Planning session can attest, but that\u2019s a whole other presentation.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
