In this open learning course, the themes of leadership and management will be explored, in particular the difference between these two concepts. Leadership is to do with vision, in particular being able to communicate a vision and getting buy-in, it’s about motivating people and inspiring them. Management, on the other hand, is to do with goals, targets, staffing, budgeting, performance management and problem solving. Managers build teams and ensure they function efficiently and effectively, whereas leaders inspire them. In a nutshell, ‘Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things ‘ (Drucker. P).

This open learning through a series of presentations and workshops that draw from the expertise of both delegates and facilitators will explore themes related to both leadership and management. These will include such topics as strategic planning, efficiency; team building, processes mapping, problem solving and also human factors, vision and buy-in, change management, motivating people and managing resistance – what happens when it all goes wrong!

It will introduce and explore a variety of useful tools including drawing from lean six sigma aids such as value stream mapping, Obeya and Kanban boards. It will explore the three management levels: strategical, tactical and operational and give some clues and recommendations on how to manage in an efficient manner and lead change.
