Managers and Leaders


            With the global economy proving to be uncertain over the past several years, most organizations are looking for ways to increase their market share, as well as cut back on unnecessary operating expenses. One of the most costly expenses for an organization can be turnover, especially if there's a significant amount of it. Brian Kibby, the President of McGraw-Hill Higher education Group updated his twitter with the statement "People leave managers, they don't leave companies. " A powerful statement that has caused many executive level leaders to not only examine their leadership culture, but also the individuals occupying those positions. "The best bosses aren't bosses - they are leaders. " (Starks, 2011, A Good Boss Is a Good Leader.) Like Starks, many people believe that bosses or managers, and leaders are two very different things. Managers being not so effective as it relates to having an impact on the people, they more so focus on the tasks, and leaders having a holistic view of what the job truly entails. Most businesses rely on members of their management team to drive results; one would argue that a leader does this more effectively than a manager. .
             Most of us have a boss or someone we report to. In most cases it can be mutually beneficial for the organization, as well as employees. Folks in leadership positions are first obligated to to the organization. Individuals in management positions are often referred to as "drivers ". The term is utilized to depict their role in driving organizational goals and objectives throughout the company. In most cases it's mandated that these individuals learn and exhibit company values or beliefs. Usually the management team in an organization is responsible for knowing company policies, and holding people accountable to them. Responsibilities also include ensuring employees are doing their jobs correctly and thoroughly, as well as making sure employees are timely in their arrival, task completion, and departure.
