hali Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 i think many of us do both these rles these days..personally i would say leadership roles make the decisions and has overall power and management roles just oversee and make sure things are done.. have you seen this website:http://freespace.virgin.net/owston.tj/motiva.htm http://www.teamtechnology.co.uk/leadership-basics.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a good look for my notes when I get back to work and then I'll try and e-mail you some ideas. Boogie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have read a book on this (can't remember which one off hand). It asked you to think of all the important leaders that you could think of from history. It generally summarised them as someone who is inspirational and has drive and vision - who others WANT to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westie Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi, I have unearthed an old assignment which i did on leadership and management from my foundation degree, so here goes! I have to say one of the most useful sources of info i found was: http://www.businessballs.com/businessballs...ings_categories you have to look up the theorists from a long list, but the info is very good Theories i used were: -maslows hierarchy of needs -Munro fraser 5 point plan -Frederick hertzbergs hygiene and motivational theory (strange title but very interesting!) -SMART targets -Organisational cultures -Leadership styles (autocratic leadership, bureaucratic leadership, charasmatic leadership, democratic leadership, laissez faire leadership, people orientated leadership, relations orientated leadership, task orientated leadership, transactional leadership and transformational leadership) -Rodd -Belbin's eight roles within successful teams -Fox, M -Goleman -Charles Handy -Likert -X,Y theory Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have replied to your post but have put it in Curriculum areas because I couldn't find this original post. I've copied my reply onto here now I have found you. Hello, 'Leadership is the art of getting things done well through other people' Danial Goleman. Leadership= people focused - Develops, empowers, grows. Key words - vision, makes vision practical, communicates, takes responsibility, role model, creates a climate to allow others to achieve the vision, educates, motivates, inspires Management = task force - plans, organises, monitors and evaluates, sets deadlines, deploys people and resources, reviews and modifies. (gets is done) Leaders inspire, motivate and influence staff and pupils. They create effective teams. Key principles of leadership - vision/direction, empowerment, alignment, modelling. Leadership behaviours - challenge the process, inspire a shared vision, enable others to act, model the way, encourage the heart. Sorry if this seems a bit jumbled but I have literally just copied out my notes for you. Really hope you find this useful. Boogie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
