Leadership Thing 2 – Leadership/Management
Management and leadership qualities often overlap but there are distinct differences in the skills that each one requires. It is important to understand the difference between the two.
Depending on your role, you might be thinking ‘why should I be concerned about management and leadership?’ At work and in life generally, we are all affected by the leadership and management of those who have connections to us.
To earn this badge you must:
- Work through Thing 2 of 23 Things for Leadership
- Write a reflective account of at least 200 words.
Before you submit applications and evidence for any of the 23 Things Leadership open badges, it is recommended that you achieve these two open badges first:
Getting started with Open Badges
Writing evidence for Open Badge applications
You may also find it helpful to complete Thing 1 – Everyday Leadership, before starting Thing 2.
After using the Leadership/Management resource to help you think about which activities are associated with leadership or management, think about your role and a situation where you play a significant part in achieving a positive outcome. Write a statement (minimum 200 words) about:
- where you see management skills being used
- the leadership you or others show
- where both management and leadership skills overlap
