...question would significantly affect an individual’s ability to lead others. From an effective leader’s perspective, people are human beings and should not be treated as machines; therefore, they should be lead like organisms. People are living organisms with a variety of individual values, assumptions, beliefs, and expectations (VABEs). To take the approach of leading people like they are programmable machines will result in unsatisfactory visible behavior. This paper will discuss why leaders who use the organisms approach to leadership are more effective by contrasting machines and organisms (people), proving that people are organisms with similarities and differences, and discussing what motivate human behavior. People are living organisms born with two powerful legacies; a genetic inheritance and memes [ (Clawson, 2009) ]. Machines are devices created by people to perform a certain task or job but lack the ability to breath, eat, drink, reproduce, or even think. At birth, people inherit both behavioral tendencies and physical characteristics transferred through genes from their parents. In addition to the genes, people also develop memes, which are the VABEs that are passed on from generation to generation [...

...Chapter 1 (1) Instead of an individual’s status or title, it is his/ her Leadership Point of View (LPV) that determines a leader; furthermore, it will be too late for people to start building their LPV after they sit in leadership positions; (2) Different from points of view (POV) of a follower, a bureaucrat, an administer or a contrarian, the LPV requests an individual to be capable to see what needs to be done, to understand all the underlying forces at play in a situation, and to have the courage to initiate action to make things better; (3) To develop the leadership, the first thing that needs to be done is in yourself (“managing energy in yourself” or “self-leadership”). By constant studies, practices and active learning, people can obtain the capability to tell strategic stories; they can also attempt to overcome the fear of rejection (FoR) through balancing listening to others’ opinions and being confident of their owns. These points are recognized important due to the following notions. First, it breaks the stereotype that people’s views reply on their positions and manifests the possibility and necessity for juniors to build up their own LPV. Second, it offers critical procedures and guidelines on how to facilitate with the LPV for achieving effective leaderships. Moreover, it emphasizes the significance of self-leadership prior to motivating others. Comparing with motivating other, self-leadership, characterized by active study and self-cautious, is a more fundamental...

Looking at my possible careers, accountant is the one I have chosen as a career and it’s interesting to see based on my answers my personality is a fit for this career. By taking the self-assessments it has lead me to better understanding my own traits, strengths, but also weaknesses. Taking self-assessments leads to increasing confidence, trust and credibility by others and an improvement of emotional, social intelligence and self-esteem.

...his/her capability and understanding his/her weakness for being effective leader in future. A potential leader attends to his or her motivations, memetic endowment and pays special attention to psychological factors to influence the subordinates. However after comparing of VABEs of an employees the manager can concludes whether the employee is compatible or not with objective of an organization. If not than the employee may look for alternative organization. However managers can search alternative ways to appoint the employee to another position because the core value cannot be change quickly. If this doesn’t work the manager can work with an employee to explore and utilize the assumptions of the employee to initiate him for change. To do this a manager has to do it right as mentioned by Gee John. If you want it done right, do it yourself”. If all these don’t work than it means there is no progress then there is need for change. As we all know that all those functions which we are doing at any particular time is our behavior at that time whether functions are guidance from leaders, result from many factors, and learning from birth, cultural and environmental factors. All these factors will set one’s VABEs and it differs from individual to individual. All these activities generate emotions in us which drive and shape our behavior. To apply these in our really life we must take view of ourselves, external events and other people and use suitable framework as it is helpful to...

...ABSTRACT There are three “Jieliang Phone Home!” sections: Part A describes the management view, part B describes the direct labor workers’ view, and part C details the results of employee surveys on two manufacturing shifts at Precision Electro-Tech’s Dongguan, China manufacturing plant. These case studies are the basis of our analysis that describes a situation and an observation. Applications of values, assumptions, beliefs, expectations (VABEs) along with cultural and personality mores are utilized to address the nature and solutions of the case. PROBLEM STATEMENT Jieliang (DL) is a line worker at Precision Electro-Tech’s Dongguan, China manufacturing plant. During a plant walk through, Marty Cole (OEM – Global Team) witnessed Jieliang being publicly disciplined in front of her fellow line workers for not following Total Quality Control (TQC) procedures and using her own method. After later conferring with a plant engineer and reassessing Jieliang’s workstation function and task, Cole became concerned that the Supervisors might be hindering the DL (Direct Labor) workers valuable ingenuity for process and productivity improvements. The impact of this suspected shortcoming is twofold: Operationally, it calls into question the soundness of the TQC procedures; as well as underscoring the need for better methods of personnel communication within the company organizational structure. ANALYSIS Precision Electro-Tech is a large contract manufacturer (CM) that produces...

...Leadership takes on many roles. Whether a leader is acting in response to a specific cause or being given a task to achieve in a business atmosphere, leadership is developing strategy taking action, and motivating others to see the importance of the goal or goals. In social movements, people come together often for emotional reasons seeking to change the way society responds to certain actions. They are often a direct response to the need for reform and are brought about to make change to current established norms bringing awareness to how society morally and ethically responds to social issues. Social movements seek to implement, redefine and change the rules for the betterment of society and people. Because social movements are mainly interested in change, they are generally not for profit and require leadership that rallies the collective and influences participants to forge the path of change voluntarily with commitment to the cause rather than the outcome of getting some form of compensation. Differences between social movements and profit making businesses are that social movements “celebrate collective identity, and assert public voice” rather than focusing on the production of “goods or services. Social movements “interact with their constituents, not customers or clients” (Ganz, 2010, p. 2). True leadership on all levels whether in social movements, non- profits or other profitable business ventures, takes a person who possesses drive, focus and sees the overall picture...

...JIELIANG PHONE HOME CASE STUDY PROBLEM STATEMENT Jieliang (DL) is a line worker at Precision Electro-Tech’s Dongguan, China manufacturing plant. During a plant walk through, Marty Cole (OEM – Global Team) witnessed Jieliang being publicly disciplined in front of her fellow line workers for not following Total Quality Control (TQC) procedures and using her own method. ANALYSIS Precision Electro-Tech is a large contract manufacturer (CM) that produces products (i.e., cell phones) for another company or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). “In the case of complex assembly tasks, if those tasks can be broken down into simple unit manufacturing steps that can be completely specified, they can be sent to low-cost countries like China where unskilled labor can be trained to follow those steps in detail. This business concept is known as “labor arbitrage” and is the foundation of the global economy and outsourcing (Shih, Bernstein, Bilimoria, 2009).” The above business model of CMs is a tried and true paradigm and is consistent with the lean principles of manufacturing. While this model is widely used, particularly in outsourcing operations; the key is that each step must be clearly defined, delineated, and rigidly followed in order to maximize productivity. The advantage of the CM approach is that it allows OEMs to specify the exact steps in the manufacturing process; ostensibly, to ensure exact specifications and a high level of quality control and efficiency. The nature...

...Chapter 2: Strategy and Human Resources Planning If nothing else, my students should learn that… • It is important for HRM to align its policies and processes with the business strategy in order to provide value to the organization (external fit), and that the policies and processes are mutually reinforcing (internal fit). HR planning follows the same pattern as organizational strategic planning, and hence the two processes are complementary. • In order to evaluate the effectiveness of strategy, it is imperative to take the ‘people side’ into consideration. Sole reliance on financial documents (e.g., financial statements, cash flow statements, income statements) largely ignores investment in human capital. Learning objectives • Identify the advantages of integrating human resources planning and strategic planning. • Understand how an organization’s competitive environment influences its strategic planning. • Understand why it is important for an organization to do an internal resource analysis. • Describe the basic tools used for human resources forecasting. • Explain the linkages between competitive strategies and human resources. • Understand what is required for a firm to successfully implement a strategy. • Recognize the methods for assessing and measuring the effectiveness of a firm’s strategy. Why is this chapter important? The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the nexus of strategy and HR planning...

...Being one of the middle management staff in my former company, MTN-Yemen, gave me the chance to observe, wonder, criticize the unprofessional “application of work processes” amid the different departments in the company, and furthermore, implicitly search for possible remedy. Although, by nature, I seek for ideal performance and maximum adherence to standards, I’m convinced that, ironically, we had sometimes to shake the floor or even overthrow the table to beat the traditional, unworthy and effete practices that had accumulated around and above the standards and had consequently dimmed their effectiveness. Having the chance to be the CEO for three months, unleash the ringing bell for me to begin framing my skills in top management, and the optimal chance to express my vision about successful leadership, and the innovation of strategic plan, structure make-over, culture re-formulating, adaptive challenges and perpetual change. The mission is extremely difficult, delicate and challenging; it’s obvious that I will not have the enough time to accomplish all my goals, overwhelmed by management stress and change pressure. However, three months could be enough to inculcate the trend for change amid the employees and equally implement this trend in the system. What is more harmful then failure is to ignore it and continue in practicing the same mistaken activities. Change must be integral, and actions have to be implemented effectively in processes, employees’ assumptions, company’s...
