Quick Study: Management and leading people
This is the Quick Study page for the management and leading people series of posts (you can find all the Quick Study pages here). Most of the topics covered under leading people are centered around applying the leadership philosophies we’ve already introduced together with general concepts that will help you build and lead a team that can help you achieve your organization’s goals.
I felt like it was important to talk about leading people (often called management, but I think that term has significant disadvantages) because many successful leaders are also asked by their organizations to become part of the management team. So these principles specifically talk about the the task of being responsible for more than just yourself.
Leading people
- What is management?
- Management is not leadership
- Leading teams of creative people
- Fighting your inner manager
- Plan of action for new managers
- Creating a good vision
- Getting support without writing by committee
- Following up on assignments
- Recognizing success
- Dealing with problems
These are just what I think of as the high points in this topic area, and there are many more posts to check out. For a complete listing of posts relating to these topics, dig around in the archives. A good place to start is the category archive pages for leading people. Follow the threads that interest and apply to you now, leaving the things that don’t make sense for you until later, when they do.
