...What makes an effective Executive/leader? An effective executive is the one who diligently work towards identifying the best way forward for his/her organization, takes responsible decisions and actions to implement them and motivate his/her employees and co-workers to achieve higher standards of productivity and excellence. There are few important traits that an effective leader need to possess, i.e. a clear vision about goals and objectives, a thorough understanding of his/her team’s needs and abilities, self-assessment ability and decisiveness. One of the most important aspects of being an effective executive or leader is the ability to communicate. On one hand, leader should be able to perceive the problems and requirements of people he leads. On the other hand, he should share his vision and plans with the team to keep everyone informed and motivated. In large organizations, it becomes very important and rather difficult to keep all employees aligned with the overall organizational goals and values. The leader needs to ensure that the information system in the organization is efficient and thus, each individual is aware of organizational objectives and policies. An executive/leader should be open to new experiences, new opportunities, new ideas and feedback on his decisions and actions. Firstly, it improves decision-making ability in a dynamic external environment where organization needs to adapt to changing consumer demand and competition. Secondly, this creates a...

Skilled Leaders are critical to the success level of any venture, both profit and non-profit. This was validated in the research Jim Collins and his team conducted for his book, Good to Great. They confirmed that the most successful organizations had skilled Transforming Leaders at the helm. (Jim Collins called them Level 5 Leaders.) Our research, however, has shown that fewer than 1 in 10 professionals (as observed in video-taped assessment sessions) have competency in the whole range of skills to Level 4 competency (scores of 7 to 8). And even fewer individuals have the abilities—Level 5 competency, scores of 9...

...Internal Control - Integrated Framework Executive Summary Senior executives have long sought ways to better control the enterprises they run. Internal controls are put in place to keep the company on course toward profitability goals and achievement of its mission, and to minimize surprises along the way. They enable management to deal with rapidly changing economic and competitive environments, shifting customer demands and priorities, and restructuring for future growth. Internal controls promote efficiency, reduce risk of asset loss, and help ensure the reliability of financial statements and compliance with laws and regulations. Because internal control serves many important purposes, there are increasing calls for better internal control systems and report cards on them. Internal control is looked upon more and more as a solution to a variety of potential problems. Internal Control Internal control means different things to different people. This causes confusion among businesspeople, legislators, regulators and others. Resulting miscommunication and different expectations cause problems within an enterprise. Problems are compounded when the term, if not clearly defined, is written into law, regulation or rule. This report deals with the needs and expectations of management and others. It defines and describes internal control to: 1. Establish a common definition serving the needs of different parties. 2. Provide a standard against which business and other entities--large...

The self-assessment topics that I completed were chosen because I can relate on a personal level. Whether it be through work or through hockey, narcissism is something I have to deal with on a daily basis. Going through these self-assessments, I was able to decipher the difference between what is and what is not. Reading through my responses will help you to decide also. I deal with people who want to be the center of attention and think they are the best. However, those people do not succeed at work. Those people are often the ones that do the least amount of work and with the worst quality. These people stress me out when I have to work with them. Taking the Symptoms of Stress self-assessment helped me to realize what I do without even realizing it and that lets me know when I am stressing out. Taking the two self-assessments has helped me to understand other people and myself much better. NARCISSISM For each of the following statements, indicate the degree to which you think each describes you by writing the appropriate number. 1 = Does not sound like me at all 3 = Sounds...
