Learning, management, and leadership

Learning, whether self-directed or other-directed, requires both management and leadership. What does that mean? Is there a difference between management and leadership? I think so, and so does Jack Hayhow, as shown in the video below.



I believe learning requires good leadership to generate and maintain motivation, and to keep the goal (vision) clear and in mind throughout the learning process. Learning also requires capable management skills to plan and facilitate the necessary activities, and to maintain forward momentum, to prevent slowing down (or stopping!) after reaching milestones throughout the learning process. This holds true wheather the learning is self-driected or other-directed.

Management and leadership: different, but equally important in learning!
