A leadership or managerial position can require large amounts of work, long hours, and huge responsibilities, but the rewards can be very fulfilling, personally and financially.
True Leadership is about serving an organization and the employees within it. You are working to develop your team to its highest potential while also achieving the goals of the organization.
Being in a leadership role can be very complex and requires great communication skills. You are constantly dealing with a variety of people, each with different personalities and motivations. It is the job of a leader to get the best performance out of each individual.
Leaders create the vision and set the standard for what is possible within an organization, they engage, inspire and motivate their people to turn this vision into a reality. Great leaders often incorporate different types of management styles, with the understanding that a cohesive and high functioning team can accomplish much more.
Short answer: anywhere! Leaders and Managers are in high demand, with approximately 42,100 General Manager roles in Australia, and a 6.6% increase in team leader positions expected by 2025, the opportunities in leadership & Management are endless.
Understanding the fundamentals of leadership and management will create countless opportunities in a wide variety of companies and organisations. You could work for a small or medium enterprise, or even a large corporation. The choice is yours.
If you are ready to get ‘off the tools’ in your industry and move up to leading, supervising, and managing others, this is your next step. The higher you go within the path, the better your people skills need to be. Your responsibility for your people who you supervise and lead takes dedication, commitment, and skills. Matching this with the performance outcomes that your business or organisation requires is often a delicate balance but can also be very rewarding
Leadership and management is about getting your people inspired and sharing the vision set by the organization. It’s about motivating your employees and making sure the day to day activities are being met in order to achieve the goals of the organization.
It is important to keep in mind that leadership and management are not the same thing, and should never be mixed up. Just because someone is a great leader does not guarantee they will be a noteworthy manager.
Leaders inspire, guide and motivate employees to produce great work or rise to a challenge. A Manager on the other hand has the responsibility of planning, organizing, and controlling the day to day activities of the organisation.
