...Management What you’re doing makes a lot more sense if you know what you’re doing. In the film Patton, George C. Scott plays the domineering and inspiring leader of American troops in World War II. In one scene, Scott’s character flies into an uncontrollable rage, exorcising his staff for their lack of intensity and demanding seemingly impossible results. Subsequently, his chief of staff tells him privately that his staff doesn’t know whether Patton has lost control or if he is just acting. Patton replies, “It’s not important that they know the difference. It’s only important that I know.” General Patton, like many successful leaders, understood the importance of knowing his own capabilities and limitations. A less skillful manager might have engendered frustration and disrespect among his troops, but Patton inspired confidence and selfsacrifice. How can the same act by different managers have such different effects, and how can some managers use something as undisciplined as a temper tantrum as an effective technique for getting results? The answer lies in looking beyond the act and considering the related issue of selfawareness. awareness training is that you cannot expect others to have confidence in you unless you have confidence in yourself. It seems a paradox of human behavior that successful leaders often display not only extraordinary confidence but exceptional vulnerability as well, such as King David of the Old Testament. Open displays of strong emotion, including...

...Issues Alex Sander’s behaviour can be summed up in the following points: • He doesn’t give much importance to performance review system as he thinks that the 360̊ performance review system was just a waste of time • He believed that his temper was the most effective management tool for him because he feels that his anger resulted in the increase of the output of the company employees • He lacked the quality of being an effective manager as he was incapable of getting work done from others. • His aggressive nature in the completion of the project and believes that being pushy and commanding is the only way to get the job done. • Lack of patience in Alex is also one of the major issues as he gets irritated of explaining things to his employees more than a couple of times • For him the success was only in terms of money as he only looked at the fact the how much more amount of return he has made on his investment Sam Glass (one of the product group supervisors) has certain issues: • He considers the 360̊ performance review as an important part and wants Alex to take all the survey seriously • Glass is also concerned about the working style of Alex because while working in a team he doesn’t work as a team rather he works as an individual and tries to complete all the work on his own • Besides all flaws that Alex has, Sam Glass still wants to have Alex in his office because of his hard work and his dedication toward the organisation.

...decisions”. Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic. Since 1990, Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been the leading researchers on emotional intelligence. In their influential article "Emotional Intelligence," they defined emotional intelligence as, "the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions" EI is composed of five dimensions: Self awareness: being aware of what’s you are feeling. Self management: the ability to manage your own emotions and impulses Self motivation: the ability to persist in the face of setbacks and failure. Empathy: the ability to sense how others are feeling. Social skills: the ability to handle the emotions of others. Literature review: All managers have to make decisions – and often these...

...MGMT 6170 February 18, 2012 Harvard Business Case Analysis How would you categorize Kearney’s commitment to the company? How might you change or maintain this commitment? Eugene Kearney is very committed to Old Colony Associates (OCA). Kearney is committed in that he has been with the company for 13 years, loves going to work every day and aspires to maintain a higher level management position. However, he clearly needs to make improvements to his current level of commitment to OCA. Kearney needs to realize that commitment is the level of loyalty to the organization and willingness to exert effort on behalf of the organization. It is the degree of goal and value congruency with the company and the desire to stay a proactive member. Kearney is a great developer and teacher of people. He takes control of the situation and is not afraid of a challenge. This has created problems for him to effectively deal with managers and clients. He comes off as bossy, rude and unable to “listen” to constructive feedback. He seems motivated by the idea of promotion, high degree of job security and his ability to exert his influence on new managers. I believe that Kearny exerts continuance commitment, which is the willingness to remain in an organization because of the investment that the employee has with “nontransferable” investments. These investments include things such as retirement, relationships with other employees, or things that are special to the organization. Continuance commitment...

A leader must take in regards the outward suggestions of his rule to govern a place in a way that is beneficial to its’ residents. In Sophocles’ play Antigone, which is a continuation of Oedipus Rex and the last play in the Oedipus Cycle, this standard is ignored. In the play, the current king of Thebes, by default is Creon. This supposed righteous king is the source of the problems that arise in his country, mainly because he displays ignorance to the Thebans.

...Duties of Managers The definition of management is the process of working with and through people and other resources to accomplish organisational goals efficiently and effectively. The nature of management is through doing things efficiently and effectively to maintaining and improving productivity, and thereby better organisational performance. If organisations could have a balance between effectiveness, efficiency, and equity, it proved successful management. The role of managers can be described as following: liaison, resource allocator, and monitor. • Liaison Liaison is one of the interpersonal roles, which responsible for maintaining self developed network of outside contacts and informers who provide favors and information. In the Tang’s expansion stage, Brian Tang as a liaison must effectively promote communicate with outside, such as doing financing work to increase company’s funding and that have to communicate with investors. • Resource allocator Resource allocator is one of the decisional roles, which responsible for the allocation of organisational resources in all aspect and making or approving all significant organizational decisions.

...Benefit of Grapevine I concur with you that grapevine is basically “informal communication” and that it can cripple a corporation because it is not formal (Robbins & Judge 2009). The grapevine is unstable and unreliable; it can fuel anxiety, conflict and misunderstanding in small or large group situations. But, grapevine can also be beneficial because in most cases, grapevine information holds at least a kernel of truth. Information from upper management that flows through the grapevine to lower-level employees can allow them to see, and possibly relate to, the struggles that management is facing. When employees have a sense of these challenges, even if it is not entirely accurate they can rise up and make suggestions or work to improve a situation of which they might not otherwise have been aware. Also, if trouble is on the horizon, it can give employees a chance to make plans and temper their reactions when the news is formally communicated to them (Lorette, 1996). I would not agree totally that grapevine is never a good form of communication because grapevine is useful as a supplement to formal channels of communication and it often travels more quickly than other channels and is usually more direct. I know that grapevine consists basically rumors and gossip and it travels from person to person during breaks, lunch and in after-work gatherings, but God warn us about gossip, according to the bible “You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a...

...Leadership Theory Application in a News Team The organization I used to work for, as a news reporter, is News 3 New Mexico production team in KENW TV-3, public broadcasting facility in Portales, New Mexico. KENW offers professional equipment and first-class facilities to students majoring in broadcast production and journalism at Eastern New Mexico University. News 3 New Mexico is a student-produced nightly live newscast, which airs Monday through Wednesday at 5 p.m. Students work there, some as paid employees and some as unpaid volunteers gain hands-on experience in production, news reporting, graphics, directing and audio. It is a highly team-oriented working environment that everybody’s contribution and cooperation are critical to produce a successful newscast. Usually, there are around 15 students working in the news production team who act different roles such as news director, producer, anchor, news reporter, audio/video director, cameraman and floor director etc. Our faculty supervisor - Mr. Kirby along with two news directors act as team leaders. They distribute everyone’s work and direct in live production. Unfortunately, since the first day I joined this team, I realized the leadership problem is such an obvious issue and almost everyone there can identify and feel the tension and stress in news team. The overall working environment makes employees uncomfortable and unhappy. More specifically, there are two problems that I can identify with. ...

...Critical Thinking AMBA 600 July 22, 2014 Critical Thinking Summary of Daniel Goleman’s Article on Leadership. In the article titled, “The Emotional Intelligence of Leaders”, author Daniel Goleman highlights the importance of emotional intelligence as it pertains to leadership. He highlights the notion that many leaders today may possess high IQs and the necessary qualifications to be in positions of leadership but often times are deficient emotionally. This can cause them to lose that human touch that allows them to associate with others under their management. Goleman goes on to mention the dimensions of emotional intelligence and these include: “Self awareness, managing emotions, motivating others, showing empathy and, staying connected.” (Goleman, 1998). He describes “self awareness” as knowing yourself and what you stand for in life. Self awareness allows leaders to make decisions in keeping with their own ethics and morals and having the confidence to implement strategies that they know will work. Self awareness allows one to question certain decisions based on one’s own gut feeling or instinct. The second dimension of emotional intelligence that Goleman mentions is “managing emotions”. Leaders often times face many emotions depending on situations that may occur during the course of their work. The inability to harness ones emotions can have dire consequences on ones career and can often times lead the individual down a destructive path. Effective leaders...

The Alan Sugar Foundation has reportedly donated more than £3m to charity since it was founded in 1986. However he uses his show to show he doesn’t take shit. Quotes like” I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them” and “I don't make enemies, it's just I'm not afraid to speak my mind, which can sometimes mean people don't like what I am saying” these quotes help him portray himself as strong minded.

This is not to say that there will not be hurdles for even some adversity in the merger process. With that being said, our management team will be a critical cog in the integration process, and our attitudes, conduct, and behaviors will be scrutinized. We must set the example in supporting and driving this merger. Employees from both companies will be looking to management for direction, reassurance, and resolution. There will be many concerns that employees from both companies will have. The employees will fear for their jobs, their positions, their pay, and many other factors. It will be up to us to temper their fears while also managing expectations. We must also be sure to treat the EnviroTech employees fairly and equally. They will be the most anxious and will have more concerns, as it is their company that is being acquired. We must be sensitive to their fears of coming into a new environment and their fears of job security. We will also need to be aware of our own employees’ fears of job security as they may see the influx of EnviroTech workers as a possible threat to their positions.
