General Session – “Leadership vs. Management”
Presenter and Facilitator: Mike Ford
Think of all the terms we use to describe people in the organization hierarchy: shift leader, team leader, organizer, supervisor, department manager, VP, President, CEO, owner. Do all of these positions require the same skill sets? Some are front line positions in the trenches, others are field generals who are far behind the action, and a few are strategists who map out plans from a secure off-site command center. Similarly, some people can lead, some can manage, and a very, very select few can do both. This workshop defines each approach, demonstrates how supervisors can learn to improve both skill sets and describes the scenarios in which one is preferred to the other.
Participants will learn:

The definition and traditional roles of a Leader
The definition and traditional roles of a Manager
How these roles have changed to become integrated
Motivational techniques
How to create the ideal “Leader/Manager”
