In today’s business world, it is necessary to have entrepreneurial zeal, leadership vision, and operational excellence.

Knowledge workers face extraordinary pressures to innovate, manage, and control processes.

Rates of change, industry consolidation, and growth requirements all contribute to the increased demands tied to day-to-day performance. Ambiguity has increased around when to use certain skills.

These pressures have us looking at reassessing the Leader-Manager mode for knowledge workers.

In this web seminar David will look at how to create a balance between using leadership and management skills as a practitioner in any workplace.

The reality is that you, during any given business day, will have to use both regardless of your role.

Understanding what leaders do, why they do it, and when they do it is important.

It is valuable to know what management is and when and where it is appropriate. The worst thing you can do is mix your uses and manage when you should be leading or leading when you should be managing.

This session will:

  • Establish the distinction between leading and managing
  • Identify the skills and competencies needed to be effective as both a leader and manager
  • Demonstrate how to develop management and leadership action plans for individuals and groups
  • Discuss how to successfully switch back and forth between leadership and management to drive business objectives
