Abstract Today it is apparent that there is need to understanding true leadership styles due diversification in employment patterns. The discipline of management seems to be surrendering its role to that of leadership. The style of leadership is a main concern over employees’ and eventually organization’s performance. A highly performing leader steers activities to expected heights but this requires strong leadership style. Leadership is guidance or assistance procedures mainly concern with the way people create rapport, communicate and live by the significances for life (Hargreaves, 2003). According to Hargreaves (2003), for a leadership style to be effective, it is imperative to share control values. The process of leadership or management is considerably complex due to differences on anticipated results or expectations among the staff. People have different believes, synergy or energy levels, expectations, experiences, and technological advancements among other aspects. The differences bring about superimposing experiences, thus placing very high expectations and challenges to a leadership style. Management lacks measurable elements or factors to meet expectations. Thesis Statement “Analysis of necessary skills required for successful management within an organization” This paper is an analysis of strategies required to implement management policies and the procedures for effective governance, as well as its implication to future performance. It is an analysis of the employee behavioural patterns in relation to the style of management and lastly it analyzes the available perspectives into controlling performance. Objective/significance of the study The main objective of the paper focuses on analysis of policies and procedures required to enforcing performance and it is equally an analysis of the developmental problems associated with styles of management in an organization. Another significance of the study focuses on the global approach towards management. The paper also forms an analysis over other probable choices in the subject matter beside the academically documented material. It is the analysis of what determines good guidance through utilization of the new professionally suggested measures to enhance employee performance. Hypothesis Are managers enhancing the proper mechanisms required to monitor, guide, encourage and evaluate employee performance? There are various ways of addressing or eliminating the social problems regarding management. Methodology/Procedure of the study The literature reviews will enable better understanding of the topic. Analysis of literature in the research over the chosen topic enhances and quantifies the research as a study topic and prepares for respondents. Information collected therefore tabulates and ranks the findings to broad areas and helps to narrow the scope to the objectives of the study analysis. The analysis then draws th
Main points Kash Mansori’s argument focuses on two possible causes of the eurozone crisis. He analyses what he refers to as a systemic cause. This view claims that the eurozone crisis occurred as a result of powerful outside forces. He associates it with massive capital flow bonanzas followed by sudden stops. This resulted in a financial crisis. The decisions taken by leaders could have been not right every time. However, they were not the main cause of the eurozone crisis. Systemic causes claim that the deficits in a current account were necessary and unavoidable. Consequently, they created a surge in capital flows from eurozone countries. There was a common appreciation of real-time exchange rates, which were unavoidable as the mechanism through which the deficits in a current account took its course. He concludes that the euro triggered its crisis. Local causes analyze the wasteful and irresponsible behaviors of governments and individuals in eurozone countries such as Portugal, Greece, and Ireland. The governments of these countries had large debts and investors lost confidence when the recession of 2009 reached them. Investors saw the inability of the eurozone countries in remaining solvency states. Subsequently, some withdraw from bonds trading. This action started the euro crisis. Aspects of the current economic crisis The excessive risk-taking in the eurozone during the global credit crunch cycle contributed to a financial crisis, an economic downturn, and a significant fiscal cost. The euro zones tried to avoid massive excesses. However, there were substantial problems in several countries of the eurozone, especially those that had large external imbalances. The government’s excessive spending led to unsustainable levels of debts and deficits that created an economic crisis. The crisis could also have occurred due to large current account deficits as a result of the capital flow bonanza. The crisis countries shared a common factor of running the largest current account deficits in the eurozone. The link between deficits and crisis is that when a country has a substantial average surplus, the crisis is likely to occur. However, countries with large fiscal deficits did not experience a crisis. The decline in capital flows created the crisis, not budget deficits. Analysts believed that the crisis occurred as a result of governments’ profligacy. The governments took the advantages of the eurozone membership to increase their consumption and spending. There was a budget deficit growth in the eurozone countries. Analysts further argue that the post-euro adoption created a surge in capital flows, which resulted in a sudden stop of flows. T
Outline Following the 2008 presidential elections that were held in America, senatorial elections are expected to take place in 2010. Several candidates have already declared their intentions to run for the upcoming senatorial elections and have already started the campaigns. Among the seats that are to be filled during the 2010’s elections are nineteen republican and seventeen democratic seats. There have been predictions on the winners of the various senatorial seats but final winners will only be determined campaign strategies which will determine the elections’ outcomes. Introduction According to (Simon, 2008), United States is looking forward to a series of senatorial campaigns which research has shown to have already started in an undertone. These campaigns will be conducted in preparation for senatorial elections that have been scheduled take place in 2010. The senatorial elections in United States will follow the 2008 presidential elections where Democratic Party won. Though the senate comprises of members from other U.S political parties, the two major parties; Democratic and Republican parties, which led in the 2008 presidential elections will also be running for senatorial elections to be held in 2010. Democratic Party is expected to run for seventeen seats while Republican Party takes the remaining nineteen seats with a total of the seats to be filled during 2010’s senatorial elections being thirty six. Among the main candidates running for the upcoming senatorial elections are Barbara Boxer and Blanche Lincoln from Democratic Party as well as Richard Shelby and John Isakson from Republican Party. Barbara Boxer Barbara Boxer who is a Democratic Party contender of the upcoming senatorial elections was born in November 1940 and she currently holds the position of Junior Senator of U.S representing California. She is not a new figure in Senatorial campaigns as she was in 2004 elections where she received the largest number of votes defeating Bill Jones. She studied economics at Brooklyn College and later joined the cooperate world where she worked in the stock exchange market. She married Boxer in 1962 after which she got involved in American politics in early 1970s. Her first attempt to run for a seat was in 1972 when she closely lost Marin County’s seat to Peter Arrigoni. She later ran for the same seat in 1982 when she won and from that time, Barbara has occupied several positions in the American politics. As a representative of U.S House,
Introduction Religion has been a significant part of society for centuries. Since ancient times, people have appealed to the higher power, praying for a good harvest, cursing their enemies, wishing health upon their family, and more. In some countries, the vast majority of the population is religious, and the government supports religious teachings through laws and policies. Nevertheless, the necessity of religion is an issue that can be debated. Whereas some believe that religion is needed for the benefit of society, others think that the concept of religion is outdated and that contemporary society no longer requires religious guidance to prosper. The present essay will seek to argue that religion is not only unnecessary but harmful to society, as it restricts people’s freedom and creates barriers to communication. Main body First of all, religion has been used to restrict people’s freedom and abuse human rights for centuries. For example, Islamic religion affects women’s rights, defining norms of conduct for women and restricting their power in socioeconomic and political spheres. In the Western world, many people use religion to promote homophobic views and fight against women’s rights movements. There is no doubt that religious texts, such as the Bible or Koran, can be interpreted in different ways, and thus their meaning can be twisted to promote certain views or support particular opinions. Therefore, religion can be used by governments to control people and influence their behavior. Secondly, religion has been widely used to excuse and justify violence. Crusades are an excellent historical example of how the government used religion to frame the war on an independent nation as ‘holy’. There are also numerous examples of religion being used to facilitate terrorism and genocide. Although many people believe that this feature is only true for Islam, other religions have been tied to terrorism, too. For instance, Buddhist terrorism against Muslim populations in Burma is a significant issue that is often overlooked by major news channels of the U.S. and European countries (Pellot). Overall, religion is often used against society, which i
Key Processes that DSM Needs to Provide Based on the stages from performance management process, DSM Melamine will need to provide a number of key processes in its system in order to link its key success factors successfully. The first stage will be the process called ‘Local for local’ players (Cockins, 2009). In this process, DSM will make an effort to ensure that its local customers, especially in Europe are given high quality products that would meet their expectations. The rationale for this process is to win the customers’ loyalty. The local for local players shifts the attention of this firm from the international focus to local focus. By producing local for the locals, there will be an extra attention on the local needs, making it easy to produce custom-made products. The products will be very specific in the needs they should address. The second process will be the merchant players. Unlike in the first process that focused on the regional market, this process focuses on the global market (Bloemho, 2004). DSM Melamine is in the global market and it has the responsibility of defending its international operations. In this process, the focus will be on the low cost and security of sales. When operating globally, the low cost will be justified when DSM will be coordinating with merchants that help in breaking the bulk. These merchants prefer low-priced products because they also need to make profits. Their success is based on how fairly-priced the products of DSM are in the market. The success of DSM relies on how successful these merchants are in their operations. When the merchants are successful, it will be expected that DSM will also be successful. This will lead to the security of sales. When the merchants realize that they get more profits by selling products of DSM than for any other firm, then they will become regular clients of DSM, thereby securing its sales. Business Strategies to Performance Measurement In order to determine the manner in which DSM Melamine has aligned its business strategies to performance measures, it will be necessary to identify the main value drivers. In this paper, the three main drivers that will be used include unit production cost, production volume, and sales volume. This firm has realized that the best way of remaining competitive is to align its strategies to the performance measures. Using the first driver of the unit production cost, DSM has introduced CTP (Capacity to Produce) strategy. In this strategy, the firm uses specific measurements to determine the capacity of various departments or systems in addressing various tasks in order to determine how the cost can be scaled down per unit item. Using the second driver of production volume, DSM has been focusing on the new technology to support its mass production. The firm is always under pressure to meet the massive global demands for its products. The performance measurement in this case is the amount of products that can
Introduction Luxury hotel consumers are conscientious spenders. They put a lot of thought into the hotel-selection process, so it is crucial to understand recent social patterns affecting their decisions. Tourists’ need to access value, speed and status influence most of their choices in this industry. Social factors driving the luxury hotel industry Today, travelers desire to connect with their acquaintances, friends or family in the fastest way possible. Through the use of the internet, luxury hotels are tapping into this social factor in a big way. For instance, several companies have listed their hotels in global booking platforms such as hotels.com or zuji.com. The strategy allows individuals to secure accommodation easily and conveniently without having to depend on third parties. The need to connect with others has also enhanced the luxury hotel business through social media. It is now possible to engage with one’s customers directly and create a transparent relationship with them. Additionally, companies can learn about their weaknesses through social networking platforms. Twitter and facebook are the websites of choice for the internet-savvy luxury market. The growing need to use ICT has proliferated into the management of hotels as most companies use them for product package selection, order tracking, payment and other aspects of supply chain management. Most of the biggest source markets for luxury hotels are aging. This implies that companies must alter their facilities in order to meet the needs of a senior population (ILO 35). For instance, they require more first aid facilities or may require platforms for socializing with their peers. Companies are also training their staff members on how to meet the needs of the aging population. Even marketing approaches are changing so as to include this demographic group. On the flipside, family travelers are increasing in number, in luxury hotels. Consequently hotel owners must modify their practices to accommodate the needs of these divergent guests. One way of achieving this objective is offering a larger variety of food items for breakfast, instead of the standardized packages for two. Additionally, some luxury hotels are changing the design of their rooms (Education Bureau 20). Many of them now offer facilities that they have standardized. For instance, they may possess lower beds or may have brighter lighting and even walk-in showers to suit the needs of almost all demographic groups. New countries are becoming promising source markets for luxury hotels; Japan, China and India have experienced a rise in the number of outbound travelers. These trends stem from the relaxation of policies governing foreign travel as well higher incomes. Between 2009 and 2010 the number of tourists from China grew by 15% (ILO 38). Many of these visitors target other developing countries like Malaysia. Therefore, luxury hotel owners in the Asian continent are increasing their market reach to neighboring countries in order to foster repeat business and tap into new consumer segments. Regional growth is a force to reck
Introduction Nowadays, the healthcare industry is immense and provides an array of services to different layers of the population. To ensure its sufficient functioning, one could not underestimate paramount importance of Human Factors that aims at enhancing the quality of the provided services with the help of teamwork, tasks, workforce and its collaboration, culture, and organization of the hospital, as the sufficient knowledge of these elements has a vital impact on safety and quality (Rosenorm-Lanng 2015). Consequently, the primary goal of this paper is to discover recent researches in Human Factors, understand their impact on healthcare, evaluate the possible absence of this phenomenon, and suggest new ideas for its development with the help of the literature review. In the end, conclusions are drawn to summarize the main findings of the paper. Latest Researches in Human Factors To establish a foundation for discussion, World Health Organization (2017) states that Human Factors is a complex science that integrates a variety of disciplines such as leadership, medicine, management, anatomy, and physics to ensure effective collaboration of the workforce with equipment while prioritizing efficiency and creativity. These aspects underline that this discipline has a dramatic influence on the healthcare system and beneficial impact on its optimization. The integrity and unity of this phenomenon along with its dramatic effect on patient safety make this topic highly interesting for research. Continuous technological development makes this discipline more advanced and complicated. For example, many researchers attempt to review interactions from dissimilar angles and discover a potential collaboration of humans with robots (Sheridan 2016). The individuals experience challenges in this segment due to the lack of know-how (Sheridan 2016). Thus, discovering this topic in the context of Human Factors is essential since it is the key to success and increases levels of safety and quality. At the same time,
Introduction Harmful and unethical behavior violates accepted behavioral norms and has negative consequences for other people. Such behavior and attitude can be changed and corrected, which will affect the efficiency of the work performed in finance and decisions. The description of negative employee behavior and ways to eliminate it, as well as the key elements and the role of financial methods and analyses, will be discussed in the paper. The Negative Behaviors The negative behaviors in the workplace are a highly destructive phenomenon that directly affects the working environment and atmosphere, the team’s mood, and the organization’s financial condition. Moreover, the manifestation of problematic and undesirable manners is potentially offensive and disrespectful for superiors and colleagues. This is not a professional disagreement or a personal conversation but a model of employee behavior that is most likely “toxic” in nature and should be combated. The Need to Change The need to change behavior is since everyone in the organization must follow the corporate culture and respect their colleagues. In order to offer help to a “problem” employee, several main aspects should be taken into account. Thus, it should be said that the employee’s work and contribution to the organization’s development are precious and necessary. It is essential to talk “heart to heart” with honesty and openness, collect feedback, and discuss the most disturbing aspects. Moreover, as the health care organization’s CFO, I should draw up a strategy to eliminate the existing problem based on the information received. For example, to increase the worker’s motivation and positive attitude, I must direct this employee’s efforts to cooperation and teamwork, considering set goals and objectives. Involving Employees If successful in changing the particular worker’s behavior, the rest of the staff will be more motivated and interested in making financial decisions. For example, removing even a tiny number of demotivating obstacles triggers a whole stream of positive energy. Employees will be morally adjusted and united in solving problems; the attitude to work will be based on a more friendly note. If the barriers remain unbreakable, they will stimulate the appearance of negative stories, gossip, and erroneous beliefs. Breakeven Analysis It should be noted that break-even analysis includes the following main elements. Primarily, this “tool” is quite extensive, multifaceted in its essence, and has a wide application (Ali, 2020). Moreover, this analysis accurately predicts when and in what period the investment can pay off (Ali, 2020). In brief, break-even analysis differs f
Introduction Leadership is one of the most sensitive areas of research that has attracted massive attention of scholars for several decades. One of the areas of leadership that scholars have devoted attention to lately is the role of a leader in encouraging the hearts of the followers. According to Kouzes and Posner (2003), effective leadership involves encouraging the hearts of the followers in organizations as a way of making them achieve success in their respective areas of work. A leader must make followers feel that they have the special ability to achieve success even in cases where others feel that it is impossible. A leader must encourage the hearts of the followers in various ways in order to ensure that they remain motivated in their work. Another important aspect of effective leadership is generosity. A leader must be generous at heart. He or she must understand the importance of giving material and moral support whenever this is necessary. Although many people have always associated generosity to material benefits, a leader needs to understand that it goes beyond the material support. It involves giving out information, the authority, and space for employees to be innovative and to make mistakes as they struggle to achieve success in their respective duties. This research will focus on determining how learning to encourage the heart of others and generosity relate to becoming an effective leader. Encourage the Heart of Others as an Effective Leader According to Kouzes and Posner (2003), leaders have been given the sole responsibility of ensuring that they encourage other junior employees so that they can remain motivated. Encouraging the heart of employees does not just involve giving them financial incentives. It goes beyond this. It involves understanding of employees from an individual basis with the view of providing them with what they desire at their workplace. When one is employed, Blanchard and Cathy (2002) say that there is always a feeling that he does not belong to the organization. The employee would feel that the only relationship between him with the organization is the service he offers, and the salary paid after the work. Such feeling should always be fought because they make employees lack the passion to be part of the organization. T
