The ability to sustain success in any organization lies in the capacity of its leaders to cultivate a collaborative work environment in a ‘multi-generational’ workforce. As organizations continue to promote top performers to lead positions, many have experienced the difficult journey of achieving true success in working with and through people.
Does having the skills then, to manage or supervise people necessarily equate to becoming a good leader?
Today's managers and supervisors need to understand that managing and leading people are very different, but they should go hand in hand.
The process of Management deals with the science of getting things done, while the Leadership process deals with the art of guiding and empowering people to achieve the goals of the organization. Leading people is not about simply dictating and commanding, it means living, influencing and exciting subordinates to deliver in midst of challenges and changes that they encounter every day. Needless to say, extraordinary leadership is now required if we want to succeed in today's challenging business environment.
