Similarities and Differences between leading a teaching team and leading a research team
Teaching
Leading can be shared to strengths of the teachers (not just the leaders lead)

Delegation can be difficult if you want a job to be done properly
Research
Leading is left to the researcher
Has one focus
Delegation is easier
Similarities
Everyone valued
Timing with communication
Time restraints
Collaborative, Constructionist and Constructivist Learning

Research Oriented - teaching is based on creating
Research Based -
