Question

the critical role of leadership is emphasized during times of change.  Yet, a universal definition of leadership is non-existent because it is defined by our personal experience.  Similarly, describing the difference between leadership and management, both necessary for organizational change, has been described from multiple perspectives.  The terminology most used to describe the actions of a leader and the actions of a manager are transformational and transactional.  However, in the video, "Leadership vs. Management", Godin (2018) takes a slightly different approach to determine what sets leaders apart from managers by focusing on courage to take responsibility even when risks are high, failure is eminent, and possibilities are only a vision.  Considering organizational change, the readings, and video, respond to the following questions:

  •           From your experience how do you distinguish leadership from management? Provide an example of both.
  • Of the multiple problems identified by Godin (2018) that hinder leadership from making a difference, what problem do you believe is mostly present in organizations? Why?
  • Do you agree or disagree with the statement, "Excellence is different than quality" (Godin, 2018, 14:48) as a new perspective to organizational change? Share your thoughts.
  • Cultural differences are attributed to the comparison of leaders to managers (Burke, 2018).  While similarities and differences exist, explain how the comparison could inform organizational change on a global scale.
