We have all managed something at one point in our lives. Maybe it was an entire company or maybe it was just managing to get out of bed that morning.
Saying you manage people does not necessarily mean you lead them.
Here is an easy example. I work for a large multinational retailer. We have “Store Operators” or more commonly known as “Store Managers.” They do manage stores. They manage the ordering, financials, employee schedules, etc. Our most successful store operators have in common that they manage the administrative part of the job and lead their team.
Leading a team means investing in the team’s growth and meeting their needs so they can do the job successfully. Leading others is its own skill set.
When you are interviewing management candidates remember to reach beyond the scope of the administrative list on the resume. Look at the candidate and ask yourself “Are they a leader or are they a manager?”

Through the eyes of a recruiter: The intro
Coming soon-"Through the eyes of a recruiter: Part One
Caution: If you do not have a sense of humor nor understand sarcasm you may, on occasion find my Blogs offensive. A lot is going on in my head that must get out or I will explode! (In reality, if you actually are intrigued to read something by someone who refers to themselves as "RECRUITNIK," you are already condemned to love me!) Sorry! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
By no means is my intention to offend anyone. I truly hope not to. I just, on occasion want to take an entertaining look at the very serious job search, hiring, recruitment process.
I may even, on occasion choose subjects that are somber (or partly.) Or go on an irrational rant, who knows. I do however reserve the right to educate, inspire and invoke thought. I hope to make you smile, laugh hysterically or just role your eyes because you know exactly what I am talking about! I hope also to learn through the connections I make by writing.
I am excited to see where this will take us.
Please enjoy!
–Love, Recruitnik
