Process vs. Vision Effective leadership is centered on a vision to guide change. (ex. Bagong Lipunan/Marcos/ Philippines 2000 (Ramos) managers set out to achieve organizational goals through implementing processes, such as budgeting, organizational structuring, and staffing, leaders are more intent on thinking ahead and capitalizing on opportunities..”  2. Organizing vs. Aligning The manager administers; the leader innovates The manager maintains; the leader develops The manager focuses on systems and structure; the leader focuses on people  3. Position vs. Quality The title “manager” often denotes a specific role within an organization’s hierarchy, “ Manager is a title. It’s a role and set of responsibilities,”. Leadership is the result of action. If you act in a way that inspires, encourages, or engages others, you are a leader. A leader may not have a title of a Manager And A Manager may NOT be a LEADER!. BUT The best managers are also TRUE leaders, but the two are not synonymous.  Steve Jobs said Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do…., while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could. Steve Jobs  Engineering Management is a specialized form of management concerned with the application in engineering, as a result of the unique personalities (engineers, manufacturers , scientists, contractors,entrepreneurs etc )and technical nature of engineering.  Example areas of engineering management product development, manufacturing, construction , design engineering, industrial engineering, technology, production, The (6) Functions of Management  Functions of Management 1 Planning & Decision-Making – Involves selecting goals and objectives, as well as the actions to achieve them; it requires decision-making, choosing the “best” from among alternatives.  2 Organizing – roles for people to fill in an organization. – allocating and arranging human and non-human resources so that plans can be carried out successfully  3 Staffing – Process by which managers select, train, promotes, and retires subordinate – Involves filling, and keeping filled, the positions in the organization structure.  4 Directing/Leading – Influencing people so that they will contribute to organizational and group goals.  5.Controlling – Measuring and correcting individual and organizational performance to ensure that events conform to plans/ organizational standards.  About Control and Power “Power is Nothing without CONTROL” Carl Lewis Olympic athlete Multi Olympic Gold Medalis Time Spent in Carrying out Management functions  The 3 Managerial levels 1 Strategic Managers who are ultimately responsible for the entire organization.

(doing the "right" things) even if it takes a bit longer. It’s the strategic vision behind innovation trends, where you’re not just running fast but also in the right direction.  Example of effectiveness For maximum effectiveness of your weight loss plan, you need to combine exercise with a healthy diet.  Example of Effectiveness An effective person or company is the person who meets the objectives set or proposed by the company  Example of effectiveness innovation Example: Let’s talk about electric cars. They weren’t the most efficient vehicles at first, but they were effective in moving us towards a more sustainable future. It’s like choosing a salad over a donut — might not be the quickest path to satisfaction, but it’s the right one in the long run.  EFFECIENCY assesses the ability to achieve the goal set using the minimum resources needed. These Fundamental resources are: Time Resources Cost. It is the ability to achieve it with the minimum possible allocation of resources  Effeciency Efficiency is a measure of how well a certain aspect is performing. (doing the things “right”) accomplish something with the least waste of time and effort;  Example from Life: on Effeciency Ever tried to impress someone with your cooking, so you efficiently prep and cook a meal in record time,!!! only to realize you made something they’re allergic to? Efficient? Yes. Effective? Not so much.  end
