最近我遇到一个人’s looking for a new opportunity (read: they’re unemployed). When I asked them what kind of work they were looking for, they said they wanted to be a 领导.
It took me a few moments to process the reply. I hadn’t really spent a lot of time considering it. Is being a 领导 an 占用?
I mean, 领导s exist in all different kinds of organizations – big/small, public/private, for profit/not-for-profit. In a wide variety of industries – tech, health care, hospitality, transportation, etc. That leads me to believe that being a 领导 isn’t a totally nebulous term. There’s an expectation a 领导 in an organization has to be a 领导 at 某事。这意味着您需要具备某种技术知识才能成功。
So needless to say, I’m struggling with 领导 as an 占用.
然后，《哈佛商业评论》博客发表了一篇关于管理是一种职业的文章。您可以 在这里查看 –这是一个发人深省的帖子。幸运的是，它使我的想法又复杂了一层。
Is being a 领导 an 占用?
成为经理是职业吗？
Are being a 领导 and a manager the same thing?
Can manager be an 占用 and 领导 not? Or vice versa?
也许我的一部分’我面临的挑战是’来自候选人。多年来，公司一直围绕着哲学问题– what’s more 
important, having 领导ship skills or 行业经验？关于是否应该雇用态度和技能培训的整个想法。不知何故，这听起来与候选人不同。
这就提出了一个问题……候选人如何“sell”这个想法给准雇主？基本上，候选人是说“我没有行业经验，也没有技术知识，但是我’d想你雇用我，因为我’我善于领导一群人。”
我想知道公司将如何处理该简历……
I’d love to hear your thoughts 上 this. It has such implications for our companies – would you hire a proven 领导 with no industry or technical experience? And is that different than hiring a manager with no technical experience?

很棒的帖子
我认为领导者是他/她所做的一切的领导者，换句话说，您不必“management 领导ship position” to be a 领导, each 上 e of us have the opportunity to lead our personal life, our family, our company ( even as a single contributor), our church, etc.
卡拉 说
I agree with 胡安 . A Leader is a Leader in all that they do. No matter where they 星t in an organization, they will rise to the top as it is a natural progression for them. My concern: A good Leader in any organization must have some 行业经验, and not necessarily technical in order to lead effectively. Some of our greatest 领导s came from little to no experience in the field they took 上 . Some are just “born 领导s” and some are content not to be a 领导 at all.
黛博拉·赫曼 说
我的猜测是有人一直在指导这个人说，作为他们的一部分“elevator speech”. IMHO a “leader” doesn’不必说他们想成为一个。他们就是。
丽莎·罗森达尔（Lisa Rosendahl） 说
这是一个很棒的咖啡，舒适的椅子谈话话题。我可以’不要让我的想法在“…in this situation” to “… but what if.” A few things that I am 星ting to anchor 上 :
I would not hire a proven 领导 with no industry or technical experience because althought some are born 领导s, effective 领导ship is situational. Take a great military 领导 and place them in a non-profit and it could be disaster.
我会雇用没有技术经验的经理–取决于技术领域–如果他们具备批判性思维，组织能力，解决问题的能力，洞察力和可靠的学习能力。并非总是我的第一选择，但我会这样做。
I see management and 领导ship as different and I don’不能将他们视为自己的职业–但希望进一步进行对话。
卡拉·波特 说
我只是在果真网站上搜索了“leader”和惊喜，惊喜…实际上，我得到了一个回报，那是标题中唯一的单词。辛辛那提健康联盟正在寻找“leader” – but being a licensed nurse is a requirement. Every other job title that had the word 领导 in it also had some other pesky indicator like retail, recreation, contract, safety, etc. One can step into a university and step out with a degree in 领导ship or management. That may make them a top contender for acceptance in a corporate manager training program (Target has a good 上 e) but I wouldn’敢打赌我的薪水是，只有学位才有资格进入一个组织并接管一个部门的统治–更不用说一个部门或整个业务了。
“I want to be a 领导”是等同于“我想成为摇滚明星” – if that’如果首先需要成为出色的歌手或音乐家，“star”是每个人都知道的认可。
丽莎是正确的，良好的咖啡交谈。

感谢您的所有评论和精彩的讨论。
当我听到声明时，胡安’s comment was the first thing I thought of. You can have volunteer 领导s, so I’m not sure 领导ship is an 占用.
卡拉带来了我所没有的荣誉’t considered –技术知识与行业经验。我现在可以看到……了解行业动态很重要，但是您也许可以学习技术知识。
也许那个’s where Lisa is coming from. Not hiring a 领导 without industry or technical experience. But it’s OK to hire a manager and as they learn/grow, they would move into a 领导ship role.
Karla asks a great question. If you get a degree in 领导ship, does that qualify you to be a 领导? My first reaction is no –您需要某种经验。否则当你领导时’关于理论而不是执行。
And, if the number of job postings with 领导 in the title is small … hopefully they will revamp their elevator pitch as Deb mentioned.

I think for the best 领导s, 领导ship is a way of life. It is how they think and solve problems in all aspects of their life, not just their work life.
辛迪·隆德·周 说
我不得不承认，这个话题确实让我思考。
At first I thought that to be in a 领导ship role you must have some technical or industry knowledge in order for the people you lead to have respect for you, but also so that you can coach them. However, saying this, I have often seen disastrous results from people promoted to 领导ship positions solely because of their technical ability. So I am torn to say the least in my opinion 上 this 上 e.
I guess when it comes down to it, I think the best 领导s are avid learners and those that can bring out the strengths and abilities of those that they lead. So, if they are willing to learn enough to support their team, I think then yes, I would take the 领导 over the technically astute. Does that make 领导ship an 占用? Not sure, but I do think that it is a pivotal role that if done right, can bring people and organizations to higher level of success.
美国空军LtCol的Eric Payne（ret） 说
As I was reading the post, I was thinking about how the military (nice graphic) develops 领导s who can lead in multiple environments (the 领导s as 占用 approach). They are provided with both 领导ship training and experiences. Many are succesful 领导s in a variety of assignments and also transfer this talent to civilian jobs in the public and private sector. And a rule that works for everyone…you become a 领导 通过 leading.
沙琳·劳比（Sharlyn Lauby） 说
I agree that 领导ship goes way beyond our paying jobs.
辛迪提到了我’在很多场合见过。提拔技术上最胜任的人的组织，无论他们是否具有与人合作的能力。我真的很喜欢学习方面。但是如果我穿上“glass is half empty”衬衫，那么我想知道公司如何知道一个人是否真的愿意学习这项业务。
我没’当我写这篇文章的时候，我没有特别考虑过军队。埃里克’的例子肯定适用。但是后来我’d想认为具有军事经验的人会传达他们拥有的技术知识，这些知识会转化为他们所应用的行业。
多谢大家的评价。一世’我真的很喜欢阅读您的观点。

领导ship is about managing a team of people and working towards a common goal and hopfully a happy ending! A 领导 must gain the respect of his followers 通过 displaying a good quality of skill sets.
situations are different for people, but there is defintely a pattern of characteristics for good 领导s .
人力资源学生 说
I agree with all comments. A 领导 is a 领导 in all aspects of their life. But also you have to give someone opportunity to lead to develop 领导ship skills. I am not sure I can say being a 领导 is an 占用 上 the other hand. I think you would have to have some technical experience in a particular field to lead it. I do believe some people are born with 领导ship traits or even can develop them but I don’认为没有人可以谷歌搜索领导职位。
凯莉 说
I am a graduate student studying health systems management and much class discussion has been dedicated to discussing management vs. 领导ship. So, to address 上 e of the points made in the post, being a manager and being a 领导 are not 上 e in the same. Management involves: planning and budgeting; organizing and staffing; and controlling and problem solving. Leadership involves: establishing direction; aligning people; and motivating and inspiring. I do believe that managers can possess 领导ship skills and 领导s can possess management skills. To add to that, I think that to be a good manager you must possess good 领导ship skills.
沙琳·劳比（Sharlyn Lauby） 说
Thanks for the comment 凯莉. I do have a tendency to think 领导ship and management are different as well.
唐娜 说
关于成为领导者意味着什么的有趣思考。一个人可以成为经理，而不能成为领导者；但是，很难“follow a 领导”缺乏技术技能或知识。作为一名护理学研究生，我花时间探索了交易经理和转型经理之间的区别。我认为，我的特定组织通常非常缺乏的是变革型领导者，即那些将组织的构想激发并灌输给其追随者或下属的人，“buy-in”结果是高水平的性能。同时，由于没有护理方面的背景经验，并且对前线工作人员的经历不了解，“leader” does not possess the credibility he or she could have, nor the impact upon the follower. Although 领导ship is an appropriate career goal, and some are inherently talented in leading, the respected, effective 领导 is often 上 e who has arrived in the position, having “去过也做过。”
