Drawing a leader and manager was an interesting exercise.  Both of my drawings compare closely to the leadership and manager descriptors.  Since I've taken management classes before I had some insight into what the descriptors were.  In addition to the descriptors given in the handout I added the importance of a leader to do the right thing as opposed to the managers responsibility  to do things right.  A leader focuses on WHAT can be accomplished while a manager's focus is on HOW things should get done.  Leaders are outcome oriented while managers are rules oriented.

I added a slight variance to the handout in that instead of listing energy as a leadership quality I said that leaders mus energize the system while managers need to ensure stability.  One more difference was that I feel leaders must be concerned with team and the individual as well as the organizational goals.  Managers should be concerned only with the organization's targets and goals.

My drawings match the handout in several areas including:

1. Leadership at all levels; everyone strategic
2. long-term results
3. heart filled with morale and commitment
4. "customer" focused (i said society)
5. all together know best: Teamwork
6. best for organization in society

I've highlighted the descriptors below that i feel best describe me.  Although the marks indicate leadership, my functional role often requires a balance between both columns. A find that I must fulfill the management role sometimes while working with my first line supervisors.  

I'm not surprised by the marks but feel that to truly operate as a leader my position requires a higher level in the Department.  I unquestionably see myself as a leader but recognize that good leaders require good managers.  It's also important to state that sometimes when dealing with some of my direct subordinates I have to put my Management hat on and use the skills listed as descriptors of managers.
