Leading vs Managing

Explore the differences between management and leadership for impactful practice at work.

As you approach future leadership roles, your responsibilities will expand far beyond clinical and technical expertise. You'll inevitably become a manager of resources (such as budgets) and more importantly, a leader of people (such as multidisciplinary teams).

This online workshop provides the foundational clarity needed to navigate this transition successfully. It helps you understand when to manage tasks for efficiency, and when to lead people for sustained excellence and morale. Here, we'll explore the key elements between technical work versus management versus leadership, and why these elements matter in leading others within your health setting.

Key topics

• Management vs leadership
• Leadership mindsets and styles for the 21st century
• The parallel paths of becoming a healthcare leader

1. Distinguish between management and leadership, and discuss why leadership is important within healthcare.
