Thinking like a leader!

It was interesting to take the first lesson and realize that I do think more like a leader than a manager. However, I do have to implement a lot of managerial traits into daily activities to oversee the execution of district goals in my specific area. This was a great review.

Defining the mission and goal

I feel that knowing where you want to grow is only a part of the formula for success. 

You need to evaluate where you have come from and who you are before you can move forward and become what you want to be.

Best practices

Evaluating and responding to feedback is essential.

Best practices

Sometimes allowing the follower to make a mistake reaps greater learning.

The consideration of  emotional intelligence when leading is key and I will implement in my leadership.

Pacesetting

Have always found that this type of management style works best when combined with the others. 

Natural Born Leaders

I believe that natural born leaders can still be taught many differnt styles. It seems people get put into leardership rolls becuase people say that about them. Is that always the best decision?

Becoming a Manger & Leader

I found this course interesting. I always had a foundational idea of the difference between leading and managing, but this course provided more insight. There are certain times when you need to be a manger, or a leader, or even both. I want to become an expert navigator in determing the right times to be what my team needs me to be for their growth, success, and meeting their goals.

Better understanding the follower and Situation

Definitely taking a step back and understanding what type of leader you need to be for different followers and different situations.

Creating Online Learning Enviornments

I will implement better descriptions of the expected outcomes and learning for discussions and online materials. I will also make sure that the chat option is used so that we have more synchronized discussions. We had not done any of these in our current hybrid classes.

Manager or Leader

I have learned that I tend to try to lead when I need to manage.  I believe this is the case for many others.  It maybe vice versa, managing instead of leading; however, you need to recognize what you do by taking a self-assessment.

Leader Verses Manager

This class defines clearly the roles which really assits me in hiring.

Leader vs. Manager

Great subject matter!  I've learned how important followers are to the leadership impact.
