The Engagement Dilemma: Employee Engagement Starts with Engaged Leadership
Management is about managing things and processes.
Leadership is about influencing people. It’s not about the position or title leaders hold. It’s about the leader’s ability to influence others, specifically team members, to align with the vision and to accomplish the mission.
Effective, engaged leaders know how and when to do both.
Unfortunately, it’s common for many team leaders, supervisors, and managers to be promoted from within or to be hired from the outside without ever receiving any type of formal leadership development training. They’re always expected to lead, often without ever being taught how to lead. According to research, 87% of managers wish they had more training before becoming a manager. Blue-Collar Leadership®& Supervision: Unleash Your Team’s Potential was created specifically to help develop those with leadership positions, and those who aspire to lead, move far beyond traditional management and supervision toward high impact leadership.
