5 Key Differences Between Leaders And Managers | PowerPoint Presentation

5 Key Differences Between Leaders And Managers | PowerPoint Presentation | Box of delight | Scoop.it
Here are those 5 key differences between leaders and managers which can help you in forming a successful organization.

 

Behind the success of any organization there are a variety of people out of which leaders and managers play an important role. Usually many firms make the mistake of thinking both these roles to be same when they are actually not.  People generally assume the managers to be the leaders and the leaders to be the managers but there is a huge difference between both these profiles.

Despite the fact that both leadership and management are interchangeable, both these concepts are entirely different.  No doubt in both the cases it is required to have those managerial and leadership skills equally but to become a leader or a manager completely, one has to understand the basic difference between both of these.

The Difference Between Inference & Prediction

 

Reading comprehension is a core tenet of schooling. The new Common Core Standards in the United States pace an increasing emphasis on reading, requiring for it to be taught across content areas, rather than simply in English-Language Arts classes. (Or through Reading comprehension apps, for example.)

Svetlana Sutic's curator insight, March 6, 2014 2:28 PM

Knowing the difference and where they fall on the comprehension continuum is important for how to scaffold student learning.

The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens: Scientific American

The Reading Brain in the Digital Age: The Science of Paper versus Screens: Scientific American | Box of delight | Scoop.it

Why not keep paper and evolve screen-based reading into something else entirely? Screens obviously offer readers experiences that paper cannot. Scrolling may not be the ideal way to navigate a text as long and dense as Moby Dick, but the New York Times, Washington Post, ESPN and other media outlets have created beautiful, highly visual articles that depend entirely on scrolling and could not appear in print in the same way.

Kenneth Mikkelsen's curator insight, November 28, 2013 1:53 PM

Surveys indicate that screens and e-readers interfere with two other important aspects of navigating texts: serendipity and a sense of control.


People report that they enjoy flipping to a previous section of a paper book when a sentence surfaces a memory of something they read earlier, for example, or quickly scanning ahead on a whim. People also like to have as much control over a text as possible - to highlight with chemical ink, easily write notes to themselves in the margins as well as deform the paper however they choose.

from Nik Peachey---this article compares screen reading with paper-based text

Christy P.Novack's curator insight, December 9, 2013 12:10 AM

A detailed paper discussing screens vs paper. Lots of other links included. There is no research paper connected with article. I did a paper on practice modalites that involved print text vs media for learning and engagement. More papers are needed out there on such topics, as technology research studies can quickly become outdated.
