Leaders and Managers, Part 2

MANAGERS AND LEADERS: ARE THEY DIFFERENT? 
Leadership Inevitably requires using power to influence the thoughts and actions of other people. Power In the hands of an individual entails human risks

1. the risk of equating power with the ability to get immediate results
2. the risk of ignoring the many different ways people can legitimately accumulate power
3. the risk of losing self-control in the desire for power Collective leadership Managerial ethic Inherent conservatism

CORPORATE | Managers and Leaders: Are They Different

Managers and Leaders: Are They Different

Two conflicting needs: 1. Managers to maintain the balance of operations 2. Leaders to create new approaches and imagine new areas to explore Because leaders and managers are basically different types of people, the conditions favorable to the growth of one may be inimical to the other. Leadership Inevitably requires using power to influence the thoughts and actions of other people. Power In the hands of an individual entails human risks 1. The risk of equating power with the ability to get immediate results 2. The risk of ignoring the many different ways people can legitimately accumulate power 3. The risk of losing self-control in the desire for power Collective leadership Managerial ethic Inherent Conservatism An organization is a system, with a logic of its own, and all the weight of tradition and inertia. The deck is stacked in favor of the tried and proven way of doing things and against the taking of risks and striking out in new directions.

iSing Rewind, I got in

Surprise, surprise (well I was actually expecting) I passed the singing contest's audition. I'll be competing in the finals. I'm so excited. I'll give it my best shot this time.

Friday madness

Audition blues For the iSing Rewind singing contest, I went to FC AVR and did some belting though I must say that the belting is an overstatement. I was really shaking all the while. I don't undertand seriously why I still feel this way knowing that I have been to a number of contests in front of the public and every time I go up on stage, I feel so amateurish and start shaking. My friend Isabel sais I have stage fright. Why do we have to get afraid of standing in front of the people? There is really no use for that. And, by the way I wore Nico's (my roommate) black long sleeves. I felt so sexy donning the shirt with my chest half exposed to seduce everyone. I think I gave the song some justice I hope.

CORPORATE | My topic for my boss's presentation

My topic for my boss's presentation

TEACHING IN KOREA
1. Different view on education. To Koreans learning is very important, thus competitiveness 
2. They are willing to spend so much money just to learn English.
3. Children at a very young age are taught how to speak English.
4. The problem is, at schools, children don’t really speak English but just study grammar.
5. Surprised at how until 12 mn, Korean students would keep on studying
6. Utmost respect to teachers. Nobody dare ask the professor.
7. Filipino teachers have advantage because we don’t talk too fast unlike our native counterparts.
8. Our ears are more accustomed to mispronunciation of Korean students which Western teachers usually find very difficult.
