[Ous-lp-rp13] EDAD 6010, Response to Answer Question # 1

[Sylvia, Molly]

Tony, As I read your response, it made me think about how we use our time
as administrators. Prior to reading your response, I would have quickly
determined that an administrator who is strong on the managerial side uses
their time more efficiently than someone who is strong on the leadership
side, because someone who is a strong manager would move from task to task,
completing each one until the goal is attained. So, what you wrote struck
me, that someone who is strong on the leadership side will allow time to be
used efficiently by the administrator. The more I've thought about it, this
is definitely an area where leadership and management intersect. A good
leader will learn its stakeholders strengths and weaknesses and
personality, developing trust in order to delegate tasks when and to whom
it is appropriate. This most certainly could alleviate some of their own
work, freeing time to focus on other pertinent tasks. Additionally, a
strong leader may rely upon his or her stakeholders to help develop vision,
goals, and processes to attain goals. When an administrator's relationships
are strong and extended deep within the open and human systems, it most
certainly could allow for everyone to work together in a more positive way
toward the end goal. Thank you for helping me see this in a new light.
