Leading, Managing and Influencing at the University

Leadership is often thought about as a position someone holds or their formal work responsibilities, but it is also about the impact, influence and inspiration that someone has with a group of people.  Management engages those skills, practices and processes that enable quality, efficiency and consistency.  Leadership and management are different but complimentary and very important to an organization’s success.

• Inspiring and engaging others
• Managing your own and others’ emotions effectively
