I was just looking to get some feed back on the following questions:

Whats the difference between leadership and management?

What constitutes an ER visit?

Every reply is helpful, Thanks

Can't really help with the ER visit question, but one of my instructors stated the difference between leadership and management is that leaders have a vision, ideas of how things should be done and managers put the vision into practice.

Don't know if that helps!

Google is your friend.

Did you Google "leadership vs management"? I found lots of links using that phrase.

As far as "what constitutes an ER visit" What type of definition are you looking for?

When I worked for a medical insurance company paying ER claims we had guidelines for ER visits that would be covered.

If you Google "emergency room visit definition" Google will pull up links to medical insurance definition of ER room visit.

Management is an appointed role. Leadership is when you are followed by others. Not all managers are leaders and vice versa. Hope this helps.

Leaders lead from the front, not the back. A good leader will also never ask someone to do something that they are unwilling to do themselves.

Leadership is the ability to get those around you to do a thing with common goals and intentions...generally with team work. Some people are natural leaders, others become leaders through education and motivation.

The terms manager and supervisors overlap in their meaning.

A manager is responsible for how a business is operated. This is done by managing supplies and personnel.

To manage personnel, one should be able to supervise their performance on the job

A supervisor directs the actions of subordinates and "supervises their actions" to ensure quality and safety.

A leader is able to manage and supervise his or her assigned personnel through good interpersonal skills, setting a positive example by sharing in the work load and maintaining a positive, professional approach in one’s appearance, and demeanor

Too..many...smartass comments.......coursing through....brain,.....about to....combust.

Managers are the one who make things right; and the leaders who do the right thing..
