...Leadership, Management and Command: The Officer’s trinity.[1] W B Howieson & H Kahn The acts of leading, managing and commanding (based on either philosophy or practice) have had to adapt throughout the history of the Royal Air Force, in concert with changing environments; these acts will have to change again in the 21st century and will require new skills, new attitudes and differing perspectives of the Officer’s trinity. INTRODUCTION There is a plethora of literature on leadership, management and command. In the civilian (business) market, there are – literally – thousands of books on leadership; management; and leadership and management as a ‘dual’ concept. However, there are no books in the business market on what the military call ‘command’.[i] In contrast, in the military domain, there are an equal amount of books on leadership; command; and leadership and command together. However, very little has been written – to date – about military management; this represents a very serious limitation. New business practices and performance management systems now require capable senior managers and leaders and private sector organizations have found clear strategic benefit in providing a structured approach to the developmental needs of senior executives. Although it is recognized that leadership, management and command are closely related (especially in the military environment), comparatively little has been written on the nature and practice...

All the public services have a chain of command, or management structure, with levels of command responsibilities identified by ranks or titles. Therefore must be proven effect and is definitely important… Not only is command and control one of the most important things in the public services, but vital in order for them to function effectively. Command and control enables the services to take control of situations where control is needed, therefore ensuring the situation doesn’t escalate meaning could potentially save more lives or prevent further destruction. Command and control is important to the way in which uniformed public services operate, it is the method by which they perform their tasks. Situations arise that require immediate and decisive actions, therefore those responsible for command and control but be prepared, trained and practised in the necessary skills if such situations were to occur e.g. in the armed forces when under fire the person in charge needs to give a quick, clear decision on the spot on what to do whether that’s proceed to safety or fire back. Every public service employee carry out different roles and responsibilities and it is through command and control that the individual is able to carry out their daily tasks in an effective and efficient way. Command and control ensures that the individual knows EXACTLY what their job entails...

...Command And Control In Public Services Command and control is used within all public services in order to carry out tasks/operations in an effective, efficient and proper manner. Without command and control, the public services would not function properly and the employees within those public services would not be able to carry out their roles and responsibilities properly. It is important that all public services employees are over trained in their job just in case they need to work in a situation on their own without anyone else telling them what to do. For example, if a member of the ambulance service is by himself/herself and comes across an individual who has been run over, they must know exactly what to do and how to cope alone, and this is an example of why it is important for the public services to be over trained in their job. Every public service carry out different roles and responsibilities and it is through command and control that the individual is able to carry out their daily tasks in an effective and efficient way. Command and control ensures that the individual knows EXACTLY what their job entails and it ensures that the individual is fully trained and over trained in the job they specify in. Command and control in the Army is highly important for military exercises such as drill practise/competitions. The individual in charge of the military exercise e.g. Sergeant Major, must have good command and control over the soldiers in order for the soldiers...

...formal reporting relationships, encompassing the number of levels in the hierarchy and the span of control held by managers and supervisors; identifies groupings of individuals into specific positions, work units, teams, departments, division and others as well as the groupings of these submits into the total organization. Organization structure is reflected in the organization chart. The organization chart is the virtual representation of a whole set of underlying activities and processes in an organization. It can be quite useful in understanding how a company works. It’s also shows the various parts of an organization, how they are interrelated, and how each position and department fits into the whole. The concept of an organization chart – showing what positions exist, how they are grouped, and who reports to whom. Several Dimensions of Organization Structure and Design Chain of Command An unbroken line of authority that links all persons in an organization and shows who reports to whom. It is associated with two underlying principles. Unity of Command – each employee is held accountable to only one supervisor. Scalar Principle –refers to a clearly defined line of authority in the organization that includes all employees. Concepts necessary to an understanding of chain of command include authority, responsibility, accountability and delegation. The chain of command illustrates the authority structure in the organization. Authority is the formal and legitimate...

...organisation structure will hinder the success of the business. Organisational structures should aim to maximize the efficiency and success of the Organisation. An effective organisational structure will facilitate working relationships between various sections of the organisation. It will retain order and command whilst promoting flexibility and creativity. Internal factors such as size, product and skills of the workforce influence the organizational structure. As a business expands the chain of command will lengthen and the spans of control will widen. The higher the level of skill each employee has the more the business will make use of the matrix structure to maximize these skills across the organization. Span of Control This term is used to describe the number of employees that each manager/supervisor is responsible for. The span of control is said to be wide if a superior is in charge of many employees and narrow if the superior is in charge of a few employees. Different Structures The most common organisation structures are: TALL STRUCTURE In its simplest form a tall organisation has many levels of management and supervision. There is a “long chain of command” running from the top of the organisation eg Chief Executive down to the bottom of the organisation eg shop floor worker. The diagram below neatly captures the concept of a tall structure. Diagram: Tall Structure However, tall structures rarely exceed 8 levels of management. This is firstly because...

...elements in organizational design are work specialization ,chain of command, span of control, departmentalization, centralization- decentralization, and formalization. Traditionally, work specialization was viewed as a way to divide work activities into separate job tasks. It makes efficient use of the diversity of skills that workers have. In most organizations, some tasks require highly developed skills; others can be performed by employees with lower skill levels. If all workers were engaged in all the steps of say ,a manufacturing process, all would need the skills necessary to perform both the most demanding and the least demanding jobs. For example,McDonald’s uses high work specialization to get its products made and delivered to customers efficiently and quickly that’s why it’s called fast food . One person takes orders at the drive- through window, others cook and assemble the hamburger , another works the fryer, another gets the drinks, another bags orders, and so forth. Secondly, the departmentalization are grouped together. Five common forms of departmentalization are used, although an organization may develop its owns unique classification. For example, a major Japanese electronics firms organizes its divisions along functional lines, its manufacturing units around processes, its sales units around seven geographic regions, and its sales regions into four customer groupings. Thirdly, the chain of command is the line of authority extending from upper organizational...
