2 Monday 2/27/ :00:00 AM 12:30:00 PM The Leadership Debate: Manager vs. Leader The leadership debate has been on going for centuries and written about prolifically. It is like the ageold question, Which came first...? Seriously, who cares!?!? Conduct an internet search or go to your local book store and what you will find is more information about management/leadership than any one person could read in a lifetime. We can bet you have many more important things you need to do than read up on current leadership/management trends. With that in mind, this session will be fast paced and interactive. In 90 minutes we will explore what it takes to be a good manager and a good leader, explore the differences between the two, and help you identify areas you can develop in your effort to become a better manager and leader. This session is not only for those in management or leadership positions. Every one of us, at times, has the opportunity to be a manager and a leader. Just between us, we have two secrets to share... but we are not going to share them with you now that would not be any fun and it would ruin the surprise. So if you want to know the secret to your success, you will have to come to this session. This workshop is sponsored by the National Curriculum and Training Institute. Explore the qualities of good managers and leaders. Compare and contrast the differences between management and leadership.
