Physical Therapy Observations
What I did as a shadow:
Difference between management and leadership: The manager administers, the leader innovates.
I would describe my experience with physical therapy as shadowing a leader

Athletic Director Observation
What I did as a shadow:
Difference between management and leadership: The manager has his eye on the bottom line, the leader’s eye is on the horizon
I felt that my experience with the Athletic Director was that of shadowing a manager
Leadership Roles and Characteristics
Roles
Interpersonal – Leader
Informational – Disseminator
Decisional – Disturbance Handler, Resource Allocator, and Negotiator
Characteristics
Trust in subordinates
Keep their cool
Invite dissent
They Simplify
Organizational Diversity
Northwest Guilford High School fosters diversity and is home to many sports with a no cutting policy.
The coaches are a diverse and eclectic group of professionals.
Diversity can be improved by identifying diversity issues and establish meaningful goals.
In The End
Physical Therapy
I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with patients and be trusted
I felt uncomfortable when a patient was not paying attention and I had to bring them into focus
Northwest Athletic Director
I really enjoyed learning about the budgets and seeing some of the day to day action
I would have trouble with the organizational responsibilities of the athletic director
