Distinguishing Management and Leadership Competencies Thriving organizations see the value of cultivating both management and leadership competencies.
For this Discussion, you consider two distinct "buckets" of competencies-management and leadership-and think about how these can be leveraged to successfully introduce a new product or service in an organization. To prepare:
•Think about a new product or service in your organization that was recently implemented.
?Identify five leadership strategies you might use to address the implementation of the new product or service.
?Think about the management competencies that were needed in order for this project to be successful.
Why are these competencies important?
?Consider the leadership competencies required for success, and reflect on the value of these competencies.
Post a description of the new product or service and how it aligns with organizational goals and professional standards. Describe the distinct management and leadership competencies that facilitated successful implementation of this project. Provide your rationale.
