EDUC 341: PRABE #4

I have been reading John C. Maxwell's, "Developing the Leader Within You."  The first part of the book really deals with the definition of leadership and the differences between leadership and management. The author makes several great points with stressing that being a manager doesn't necessarily make an individual a leader. In a way, I disagree with this. To me, if you are a manager of something, you are automatically a leader because a manager is a leadership position. However, I think Maxwell's point comes down to whether you are a good leader or a bad leader. And yes, I believe both types of leaders exist. I appreciate this book so far because I have really been able to relate it to my own place of employment and recognize various characteristics in my coworkers, managers, and directors.
