...2.1: Review own ability to set direction and communicate this to others It is important for me to know that everyone in my team are aware of our department’s goals and how these are aligned to the overall business strategy. I can increase my ability to set direction and communicate this to team members by talking to them more frequently, observing them at work and giving regular constructive feedback on their performance. Providing each team member with feedback is important in making the person feel needed and giving the feeling their contribution is valued. Feedback helps the team know that whatever they are doing as part of their daily workload is valued and not only helps the IT department’s goals but that of the overall business. Staff should feel motivated by hopefully give them the platform to take ownership and pride in their tasks. Defining and communicating the desired direction is an important aspect when trying to achieve the department’s goals. Following a well-known acronym SMART each one of my team is given objectives at the start of the year. A smart objective is: • Specific • Measurable • Achievable • Realistic • Time scaled From experience objectives that are SMART succeed because they are clear (specific) and you can tell when it has been achieved (measurable) as clear criteria is put in place to quantify the results. Once the objectives have been set an area I could improve is the monitoring stage whereby I help the person to achieve the...

...Understanding the Management role to improve management performance 1.1 Describe the goals and objectives of your organisation Every organisation that wishes to accomplish something has to set both aims and objectives. An aim is an expression of a long term purpose or goal which should take the organisation forward and give direction. Goals are general in nature and are more about everything that may be accomplished on that journey rather than just about reaching the final desired distant point. Objectives are the series of steps needed to achieve the goal. Objectives are more specific and can be short or long term. To be effective objectives need to be SMART. * Specific - Say who, what where how * Measurable - Say when, how many * Attainable - Are something your group can do * Realistic - Capable of being achieved * Time-bound - Can get done within a time limit. (As cited in the ILM Booklet 1.) The two concepts of goals and objectives are separate but related. My interpretation of the relationship between goals and objectives is that goals without objectives can never be accomplished while objectives without goals will never get you to where you want to be. The Vision for the direction of the Comprehensive School is set out using a strategic approach in the School Improvement Plan (SIP). Although the terminology used within the plan does not use the terms ‘goals’ and ‘objectives’ the purpose is the same with strategic intentions ( or long...

...Competency Framework for Charles Darwin University. The Competency Framework outlines the range of knowledge, skills and attributes required of employees of the University for proficient workplace performance. Application of the framework occurs in the context of an individual’s role, and the recognition that different competencies, and different levels of competency, are necessary to perform a given set of activities. DEFINITION Competency is defined as the ability to perform tasks and duties to the standard expected in employment. A competency standard is an industry-determined specification of performance which sets out the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to operate effectively in employment. Standards are made up of units of competency, which are themselves made up of elements of competency, together with performance criteria, a range of variables, and an evidence guide1. A competency framework describes a set of competency standards for employees and makes the expected knowledge and capabilities of employees explicit for those within and outside of the University. This set of standards has been determined by the University through a process of consultation and benchmarking. Competency frameworks are used by organisations to: • • • • • • Focus workplace performance on the organisation’s vision and values Align workplace behaviours with organisational objectives Provide a benchmark against which all individuals or a broad band of individuals can be evaluated for recruitment...

...Assignment 1 Becoming an Effective Leader Institute of Leadership and Management Level 5 Assignment 1 Becoming an Effective Leader AC 1.1 – Evaluate your own ability to use a range of leadership styles, in different situations and with different types of people, to fulfil the leadership role. Having reflected on my own leadership style, I have thought about the way in which as a leader, I have historically led a team. Over the years working within a nursing background I found it difficult to be a specific type of leader due to the thinking that as a nurse you never led, you were a manager that was led. I was far from the truth… I have worked with very different people from all levels of abilities from cleaners through to consultant doctors and have led differently depending on the person I am leading. A scenario I can recall was a time when I instructed a cleaner to decontaminate a side room ready for another patient to occupy. I used a Delegation style approach to the task and 4 hours later, I found the task was not completed due to poor time management by the cleaner. This had a negative consequence of delaying another patient’s admission to the unit until the task was completed and caused conflict between myself and the cleaner as she had not undertaken the task I had set. The positives of this leadership style so I thought, were not to dictate to her what she has to do, but to allow her to lead herself and prioritise her workload knowing that an...

...leadership 1.1 Discuss the concept of leaders as effective managers Leadership and management go hand in hand but is not the same thing, but are linked and compliment each other. There has been debate about the difference between leadership and management. With some believing there is no distinction, while others that they should be separated in two defined roles. A common definition is: Management is about the day to day running of a function and getting the right people and resources in the right place with a focus upon implementation. Leadership is about creating a vision for that function and gaining peoples commitment by strategic direction. (NHSBT 5013 Workshop booklet) Effective management deals with resources, finances, time management and the coordination and control over these elements. Managers set goals and focus on reaching their targets. Have good organizational skills and will place people in roles to get the job the task complete. Have detailed planning taking into account adverse events that could prevent them completing task or achieving target. If the outcome gives worse results than expected an effective manager will look to provide a solution. Effective leadership deals with the people their opinions, behaviour and attitude. They will inspire and engage people to follow them and vision. Focus is on building relationships with people around them, can be an effective part of team and lead it at the same.

...National Instituate of Technology,Rourkela Department of Computer Science and Engineering Term Paper on Directions for Web and E-Commerce Applications Security SupervisorProf.P.M. Khilar Submitted byDinesh Shende Roll No-212CS2102 M.Tech(1st year) Directions for Web and E-Commerce Applications Security Abstract: This paper provides directions for web and e-commerce applications security. In particular, access control policies, workflow security, XML security and federated database security issues pertaining to the web and e-commerce applications are discussed. These security measures must be implemented so that they do not inhibit or dissuade the intended e-commerce operation. This paper will discuss pertinent network and computer security issues and will present some of the threats to e-commerce and customer privacy. These threats originate from both hackers as well as the e-commerce site itself. Another threat may originate at ostensibly friendly companies such as DoubleClick, MemberWorks and similar firms that collect customer information and route it to other firms. Much of this transaction information is able to be associated with a specific person making these seemingly friendly actions potential threats to consumer privacy. Many of the issues and countermeasure discussed here come from experiences derived with consulting with clients on how to maintain secure e-commerce facilities. These methods and techniques can be useful in a variety of client and server...
