Leadership and management - two words often used interchangeably, yet they play distinct and complementary roles in shaping organizations. In this special episode of Unboxing OD, we explore how leadership and management work together to drive sustainable success.
This episode holds particular significance as part of my graduate coursework at National University, where I’m pursuing a Master of Science in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I want to extend my gratitude to Dr. Lisa Teeter and the exceptional faculty at National University for their guidance in deepening my understanding of organizational leadership.
We’ll unpack the evolution of leadership, drawing on recent research to explore transformational leadership, the coaching mindset, and the power of trust in leadership effectiveness. We’ll also break down goal-setting frameworks like SMART, WOOP, and PESTEL, showing how data-driven leadership fuels better decision-making.
To bring these ideas to life, we’ll examine a real-world example - a Tribal Government’s emergency response during the COVID-19 pandemic. This case study illustrates how cross-functional leadership, data-informed decision-making, and strategic collaboration helped navigate a crisis and strengthen long-term resilience.
Whether you’re leading a team, managing daily operations, or preparing for a leadership role, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable strategies to help you balance vision with execution.
