In this short monologue, the speaker revisits a previous podcast on the difference between management and leadership and outlines the essential skills aspiring managers must acquire. He first emphasizes the need to master management fundamentals such as planning work and overseeing a team, suggesting that formal management courses are valuable for these process‑oriented abilities. He then shifts to leadership competencies, arguing that people‑focused actions—hiring, firing, coaching, and motivating—are true leadership skills, not merely management tasks. The overall message is that new managers should deliberately develop both sets of capabilities, starting with process management and then moving to people management, to be effective in their roles.

What is it that you need to learn and things that you need to think about as you move forward? Remember that podcast? Hopefully, you listened to it about management versus leadership. Actually, there are management skills and leadership skills that you have to learn in that very first step. In terms of learning things, the first thing that you need to learn is how to plan work and how to manage a team. That's a process. That's management skills. And that's where I think that management courses are extremely useful to learn about that because it's all— there's a lot of things. And we're going to go back to that because I want to switch to the leadership skills that you need to learn. And then, we'll go into the details. And it's all about the people management. It's not the leadership, i.e., how do you hire? How do you fire? Believe it or not, those are leadership skills and not management skills and how you coach and motivate. people and team. That's the things that you need to learn.
