Document Summary

Managing (supervising) useful for stable day-to-day situations. Leadership the ability to influence a group toward the achievement of a vision or set of goals: useful for situations of change, more about levels of management. Not all leaders are managers, but all managers are leaders. Trait theories of leadership theories that consider personal qualities and characteristics that differentiate leaders from non-leaders. Traits include: extroversion found in big 5, eq (emotional intelligence) to understand the best way to motivate people, conscientiousness disciplined and keep commitments, openness creative and flexible. 2 conclusions: traits can predict leadership, traits do better at predicting the emergence of leaders and the appearance of leadership than in distinguishing effective an ineffective leaders. Behavioural theories of leadership theories that propose that specific behaviours differentiate leaders from non-leaders. Believed that leadership is a skill set and can be taught to anyone, so we must identify the proper behaviours to teach potential leaders.
