Analyze relationships and differences between leadership and managerial behaviors
and their potential impact on achievement of organizational goals.
Prerequisites:
Before beginning this competency, you must complete the following Competency:
LM001: Leadership Frameworks and Theories
Competency Description:
As people practice and study leadership, there is often confusion about the relationships and differences
between leadership and management. For leaders and managers to achieve excellence, they need to
have a clear understanding of how these roles are different, where the roles might overlap, and how both
roles can often exist within an individual’s job description—sometimes to good effect and other times for
the worse.
For this Short Answer Assessment, you will review three leadership business cases and
reflect on your professional and personal leadership experiences. You will answer a series of
short answer items to demonstrate your understanding of the relationships and differences
between leadership and managerial behaviors and their potential impact on achievement of
organizational goals. You will answer general questions about each case to demonstrate your
knowledge of formal leadership best practices and theoretical frameworks and concepts. You
will also answer personal reflection questions based on your leadership and management
experiences and compare them with best practices and leadership concepts. Understanding
key characteristics of strong leaders and common traits shared by great managers, and
knowing how these two important roles interact, will prepare you for excellence in your
career.
Assessment submission length: 5-7 pages
