Why is leadership and management development important?
Leadership and management development is an essential part of any successful business. It is important to understand the differences between leadership and management, as well as the importance of developing both in order to create a successful organisation. In this blog post, we will explore why leadership and management development is so important, the difference between them, and how it can benefit your business.
What is Leadership and Management Development?
Leadership and management development are two separate but related concepts. Leadership development focuses on developing the skills necessary for leaders to effectively lead their teams, this can helpfully be framed in the context of understanding people, what motivates them, engages them and helps them perform at an optimal level, while management development focuses on developing the skills necessary for managers to effectively manage their teams and is more often closely associated with the more technical aspects, the ‘things’ that need to spot on for managers to manage well. Think policies, process, budgets. Both are important for creating a successful organisation. For examples of courses I have run in the past, please visit my Linkedin profile.
