Styles and Impact of leadership 9 Task 4. Performance monitoring and assessment 11 Conclusion and Recommendation 13 References and Bibliography 14 Introduction This report is theoretically informed by several related literatures that form a compelling interdisciplinary intersection: aspects of human resource management, business law and ethics, working with and leading people.

Sushi brought the concept of a Japanese ‘kaiten’ sushi bar that delivered food to customers via a conveyor belt travelling 8cm per second to the masses, and became the original and most famous sushi brand in the UK. By 2001, YO! Sushi was the market leader in sushi restaurants and (we like to think!) inspired supermarkets to start selling packaged sushi to the Great British Public, allowing people in areas where YO! Sushi restaurants hadn’t arrived yet to take their first steps...

...WITH AND LEADING People ASSIGNMENT BRIEF The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the job. So what is this thing of working with others to create something new? To create something which none of us could create on our own? To create something which is often more than the sum of the parts? Surely that’s what organizations do. But somehow I do not see many advertisements for leader of function, general leader, senior leader, corporate leader, leading director, chief executive leader, shop floor leader, finance leader. I do see advertisements for head of function, general manager, senior manager, corporate executive, managing director, chief executive officer, shop floor supervisor, and finance manager. Is it purely semantics? Just words, or is there a meaning behind the words? I think that there is meaning. And I think that there is a different meaning to leader and manager. And that there is a need for different types of leadership in different types of change. This means that there are actually fewer common threads in this chapter. So unlike other chapters, this assignment will separately address the different ways of leading the four main types of change. The aim of this unit is to develop the skills and knowledge needed for working with and leading others, through understanding the importance of recruiting the right people for the...

...WORKING WITH AND LEADING PEOPLE INTRODUCTION The essence of leading is to develop a frame work for mutual understanding of what is to be achieved and a frame for managing and developing people he ensure that it will be achieved. To lead, the reader by his personal conduct should lead by example, he should mean no when he says no vice versa, leader must do it the way they talk it. “It is not what the leaders says and writes that influences his surbordinate”. It is what he is and they judge what he is by what he does and how he behaves. Urwick, L.F (1947). The will to do is triggered by leadership, competency is required in leadership. Peter Drucker in his words quoted an effective leader is one who can make ordinary men do extraordinary things, make common people do uncommon things. Leadership means building of mans personality beyond its normal limitation, raising of man’s standard to higher performance.

...Aspects of Contract and Negligence for Business TASK 1: BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A VALID CONTRACT IN CAM’S COLLEGE 1. Explain the importance of the essential elements required for the formation of a valid contract. A contract is much more than an agreement between two people. There must be an offer and acceptance, intention to create a legally binding agreement, a price paid (not necessarily money), a legal capacity to enter a contract of your own free will, and proper understanding and consent of what is involved. (Begg, 2009) 1. Offer and acceptance= Agreement A contract is formed when an offer by one party is accepted by the other party. An offer must be distinguished from the mere willingness to deal or negotiate. For example, X offers to make and sell to Y calendars featuring Romanian paintings. Before any agreement is reached on size, quality, style or price, Y decides not to continue. At this stage, there is no legally binding contract between X and Y because there is no definite offer for Y to accept the essential terms of the bargain has been decided. An offer needs not be made to a specific person. It may be made to a person, a class of people, or to the whole world. Acceptance occurs when the party answering the offer agrees to the offer by way of a statement or an act. Acceptance must be unequivocal and communicated to the offer or: the law will not deem a person to have accepted an offer merely because they have not expressly rejected...

...business * Early stages * Opportunities Q2. Please describe Mr. Kalin Pentchev’s personality Kalin is a hardworker, selfmade man who doesn’t seem to have limits on what he can do to create a successful business. He has an interesting personality because he can spend a lot of time brainstorming before taking a decision, but when it comes to solve an urgent issue he is able to think fast and adapt to almost any situation. Intelligent with strong business abilities, he knows how to manipulate peoples mind like when he decides to buy a brand new car and a suit just to impress the people he has to make business with. Q3. Is It a good opportunity for Kalin’s business? Kalin started from almost nothing. He had to take risks, think fast and use his network to succeed, while remaining aware of the costs and benefits of everything. His personality suits perfectly for his activity since you need a strong personality and negotiation skills to work in import export and to convince people to join him like he did when he wanted to raise his capital. Q4. Where did Kalin find the capital? Equity or Debt? Kalin did find the capital in debt, 30k$ in six parts with no interest from the Bulgarian community in Atlantic City NJ and he borrowed 10k$ from his Bulgarian Aunt. He had to use his...
