Analysis
I chose this assignment because it aligns with my passion for leadership and highlights how crucial it is in project planning. The assignment discusses the difference between a manager and a leader, emphasizing that people are often more one than the other. It also points out that leadership is something you can learn and develop over time. I shared personal experiences that have shaped my perspective on becoming an effective manager and leader. I explored different leadership and management strategies, examining what worked and what didn’t. For example, I talked about how Jason Battles improved the University of Arkansas Library by focusing on clear communication and transparency, which helped me better understand the key factors for successful leadership.
Reflection
This paper highlights the importance of balancing leadership and management roles. My personal story of being a single mother helped illustrate the challenges and successes of finding this balance. It’s essential to have clear communication, strong planning, and flexibility. This reflection helps me think about how I can improve my leadership and management practices in the future.
