...Emergent Model of Leadership Given above is an emergent model of Leadership, this model operates at the philosophy level where the underlying thought is given at the base of the model. The left hand side of the model points to the necessary and sufficient conditions as inputs into making an effective leader . ( We shall explore later to see what may be these conditions ) . The right hand side of the model tries to articulate what goes on inside the effective leader with his philosophy of life being at the core of his operations as an effective leader . Values and beliefs form the next circle and these are manifested in behavioral attributes. With this model at a single point in time we will explore leadership over the time continuum . Deepak Pandit EFPM 08 While it is possible to consider several necessary conditions of leadership the following three emerge as clear candidate’s for inclusion in the above list in the left hand side of this model. • • • Followership Competency Vision The sufficient condition for this model is related to the core philosophy of life that the leader operates on and this is at a spiritual plane. We cannot have an effective leader unless he has an overarching philosophy of life which makes him rise above himself and his immediate near/ dear ones to have a spiritual objective for his life . It is interesting to note that this sufficient condition could operate in both directions positive or negative and this can be illustrated...

...Cheng Shih A Source of Autocratic Leadership in Piracy Cheng Shih A Source of Autocratic Leadership in Piracy Laura Hawkins Management 490 Laura Hawkins Management 490 Cheng Shih: Autocratic Pirate Queen Leadership is described as a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task. A successful leader is one who can lead their followers to a predetermined goal. Cheng Shih was a very successful leader, who built up her followership and equity and even overpowered the Chinese Army. She was a ruthless leader who gained power though the fear of her followers. This kind of autocratic leadership was the reason that she was so successful. Her followers were pirates who, at any moment, could defy her authority and overpower her. Their fear of her authority was the reason that they followed her lead. Cheng Shih was born in 1775 in China (Ossian). All that much is known about her before she married Cheng I, a commander of a pirate fleet, was that she was a prostitute on a floating brothel. When she married Cheng I in 1801 the two of them began to build up their coalition of ships and sailors. The two of them adopted a son named Chang Pao. In 1807 her husband passed away, leaving her the sole leader of a pirate coalition of 400 ships and over 70,000 sailors (Harry, 2008). Cheng took the piracy and turned it into a business. She expected to gain from any venture that her followers attempted...

...Applications of the Five Functions of Management Applications of the Five Functions of Management The five functions of management, planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling are all necessary actions to ensure a successful path of operations in the depot. Each of these functions will be detailed in the coming text to show the relationship each has to the other and as they apply to the day to day challenges that the depot faces. Repair activities in the depot must begin with a plan. As the depot operations manager planning begins with a complete understanding of the action that must be undertaken. Strategic plans are designed to integrate all company activities into one coherent course of action (Bedeian, 1986, p. 100). Planning a repair activity in the depot consists of choosing strategies, resource planning and goals. These steps consist of different levels of detail. The strategy employed for a repair is determined first by assessing the failed carcass. The example we will use will be a Unit 3 Control Power Supply, Multifunction Chassis. This is one of the major units that the depot services. We begin the strategy aspect of the planning function by researching our data base to find valuable failure data that we collected during previous repairs. This data is then reviewed so a strategic approach can be developed. During this data collection and strategic planning commonality of failures, failure trends and corrective actions are researched...

...Running head: SHACKLETON: THE LEADER Shackleton: The Leader Chris Pilkington Chapman University Foundations of Organizational Leadership OLCU 600 Dr. James Liberty Dec 16, 2006 Shackleton: The Leader For some, Ernest Shackleton’s pursuit of being the first to cross the Antarctic on foot was a complete failure, as he never made it to Antarctica. However, for those who study leadership his failure was nothing short of extraordinary. Trapped for almost two years on the ice floes of the Antarctic without proper rations, the group watched their ship crushed by those same floes, and without the modern day artic expeditionary gear, Shackleton kept the hope of reaching land alive in all of his men. What were the leadership skills, traits, abilities, or style that allowed Shackleton to hold this group of 27 men together for just under two years? Arguably, Shackleton was a transformational leader using many of the other types of leadership, such as the skills approach, the trait theory, and the path-goal theory as written by Northouse. Although I consider Shackleton a transformational leader, arguments based around a skills approach type of leadership for Shackleton are possible. According to Northouse a skills type of approach to leadership “imply what leaders can accomplish whereas traits imply who leaders are” (Northouse, 2004, 36). Northouse goes on to give the three-management skills necessary at different levels of an organization as technical...

...business putting them in direct competition with other vacation companies. The strategy was to convert land vacationers to cruisers. The company saw the huge untapped potential that the North American vacation market offered; only 16% of the country ever cruised. This was a very successful strategy. Carnival’s success and profitability grew, increasing their percentage of market share in the industry each and every year. Carnival managed costs much more aggressively than its competitors. They scrutinized capital purchases and whether there was true value with the asset. Competitors were paying 25-30% to buy a ship per bed more than Carnival. The parent company utilized economies of scale in purchasing. When 9-11 hit, Carnival cruise lines was in position to capitalize on new market segments, operate in new ports (Galveston, TX) and become the new low cost leader. Many of the smaller cruise lines were forced into bankruptcy. This strategy has proven very successful for Carnival. They have been very flexible in economic downturn as well as being able to shift their fleet to different ports when needed. Carnival operates primarily in the contemporary segment of the cruise industry and the industry has seen a huge shift with both the premium and contemporary segments merging. This has allowed carnival to capitalize and gain even more market share because they are the low...

...PROSPECT OF SHIP BUILDING INDUSTRIES IN BANGLADESH Md. Mahfujul Amin 10364075 Managerial Communication BUS 502 Spring 2011 BRAC UNIVERSITY Prospect of ship building industries in Bangladesh Abstract: Bangladesh has a thousand year old history in shipbuilding. There are more than 200 shipyards in the country, which are mainly engaged in building and repairing low quality inland vessels. Two shipwards have succeeded in making international classed vessels- and many more will come. It is about 15% cheaper to produce a ship in Bangladesh than anywhere else and the industry is expected to grow significantly. Introduction: Bangladesh is enjoying a boom in ship building. Driven by rising demand and a global supply shortage, existing players in the market have been able to capitalize on a global backlog in orders and sharp rises in prices. While investment in existing shipyards provides significant investment opportunities, investment in new yards may less compelling given two to three year lead times, a forecast fall in demand from 2011 and global dominance from China. However, leveraging its low cost base, adopting new technologies, coupled with government incentives and a strategic focus on areas...

...and the methods of resolution. Further offering information on strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities in the industry this analysis offers a strategic plan in which CCL could continue to grow its international opportunities through the purchase of another cruise line. A leader in entertainment, CCL remains vigilant for the future. Continuing to seek opportunities is one way to maintain leaderaship in this industry. Carnival Corporation and Carnival PLC Carnival Cruise Lines is an American Dream come true. Started by Ted Arison, the company began operation in 1972 with a single secondhand ship, the Mardi Gras, and barely enough fuel for a one way trip from Miami to San Juan. The level of enthusiasm, Arison relied on to get his vision sailing, was barely adequate to start building the company into a full-fledged cruise line; and in two years, Carnival was still struggling. Arison remained focused on his goal and in 1974, he purchased full ownership of Carnival for $1 in cash and he assumed a debt of $5 million. Arison spent the rest of his life investing in Carnival. He finally turned the $1 investment into the most popular and profitable cruise line in the world. With a single ship, which was a converted ocean liner, the Mardi Gras was instrumental in Carnival’s growth. Carnival Corporation & PLC a global cruise company (Carnival Corp.), is one of the largest vacation companies in the world. The corporation includes: Carnival Cruise...
