Therefore, I am finding that there is a benefit in creating an Assistant Manager position, through which these scheduling duties may be performed. This allows me the freedom to focus on the important matters of budgeting and financial planning.
Indeed, during my years as the owner/operator at Southwest, I have become increasingly adept at the maintenance and interpretation of financial records, budgetary concerns, inventory flow and adherence to appropriate accounting procedures. In all of these regards, I have found that there is no more crucial feature than experience, which is something that I have gained with the passage of time.

This also allows me to plan with precision when establishing business objectives, a primary leadership function that does nothing less than promote a vision for the immediate and long-term future of the organization. Armed with such a vision, I am often the central point of reference for the planning of in-store…...

Common roles in a human resource project

Human resource in an organization plays a critical role in ensuring that the organization can accomplish its goals and meet its objectives. An effective human resource makes it possible for the organization to compete effectively, especially in a highly competitive corporate environment (Heagney, 2012). Organizations mainly use projects in order to reach their strategic goals. In order to execute a given project, the various roles are identified and assigned to the relevant human resource personnel. They mainly exist as executive, managerial, and associate-level roles pertaining to a human resource project. The fundamental roles in regards to these levels are the sponsor, project manager, and core team member (Heagney, 2012). Although each level plays a different role, the various roles work concurrently to ensure the success of the project.

Project executive sponsor

Generally active and decisive, these personality types -- like myself -- perform best with a fair amount of independence and self-management (Geier 1999; Politis 2001). Such behaviors tend to be more prominently displayed by effective analytical problem solvers (Van Eeden et al. 2008). This reinforces the idea of my becoming a chief operations officer, or other management/leadership position responsible for observing and influencing the minutiae of day-to-day organization and operation. My analytical problem solving skills, combined with my dominance and decisiveness -- which is also marked by a quick adaptability when the situation and/or information changes -- will result in active adjustment geared towards the constant improvement of the bottom line -- and what corporation would not benefit from such careful attention?
Personality is not, of course, the only factor to be considered when choosing -- or achieving -- a certain position or level of responsibility. I believe that my…...

Diversity and Leadership oles
Diversity typically plays a major role in leadership and administrative issues in a school setting. Many schools have a widely diverse student body, faculty, and administration, and diversity issues involving gender, ethnicity, religious affiliations, and even basic social perspectives occur on a daily basis (Howard, 2007). As a grade school principal I am often charged with helping different interest groups such as parents, students and teachers navigate different issues involving diversity. I serve as lead administrator in an urban school, which has a population that is roughly one-third Asian-American, one-third African-American, and one-third Latino. As an administrator I play a key role in encouraging effective communications between different students, students and teachers and between parents and staff.

My perspective on diversity is highly influenced by my own personal identity. As an African-American man I am extremely aware of the influences issues such as racism, classism, and stereotyping can…...

boys who exercise the dominant leadership roles in illiam Golding's The Lord of the Flies are the characters named Jack and Ralph. Ralph is a practical, solid individual with little charisma but with very sensible ideas about how the stranded boys can best survive on the abandoned island their plane has crashed into. Jack is the more attractive and 'sexy' leader of the two individuals. He leads by organizing a cult of personality around his promises of more meat for his tribe, and by creating a mythology of fear around the strange happenings and visions that afflict the younger boys on the island. In many ways, when comparing these two boys, Ralph can be said to be the 'George Bush' of the two, and Jack can be read as the 'George . Bush' in contrast.

Discuss the leadership role you expect your management team to have in implementing the change.

The basic leadership role that managers should be embracing during the transition requires setting the example. This means that executives must be thinking outside of the box in order to achieve a variety of tasks. The first step requires carefully looking at other business models and the current approach utilized by the firm. In the case of Blockbuster, there has been a focus on expanding or changing the brand name by concentrating on a number of areas to include:

Expanding the stand alone kiosks.

Offering movie rentals on Motorola phones.

Working with Samsung to develop videos on demand.

Making retail stores much smaller. (Farrell, 2010, pg. 444)

1. Do your leaders believe that you are a valuable member of the team? Are you actively engaged in the goals of your leader and the organization, and do you seek to provide usefulness to your work unit?Within a public safety work environment, I do believe that I am a valuable member of my team. For one followership is required to help maintain corporate culture within an often times stressful environment. This is particularly true as a public servant, as organization and structure are needed to help properly serve others efficiently. Followership therefore not only impacts the organization, but the constituents the organization serves. As a member of my team, a part of my value comes from maintaining a culture of positivity and innovation within the team setting. Here, I often challenge existing processes to make them more efficient or to significantly reduce errors. Specially, these process improvements come in…...

For some leaders this means acting as a mediator to help those who are conflicted to resolve their issues (Hernez-Broome and Hughes). In addition most large organizations actually have conflict management procedures in place to assists with conflicts that arise. Leaders are often responsible for making sure that these procedures are followed and carried out.

Motivation is the act of persuading an individual to perform in a manner that is conducive with the goal that needs to be met (illiams). There are several ways that leaders motivate the people that they manage. These modes of motivation may include everything from reward systems to promotions. Good leaders want those that they manage to be intrinsically motivated as opposed to being extrinsically motivated. Individuals who are intrinsically motivated tend to perform in a way that is expected without needing any type of external…...

To write a 2-to-3 page paper on the challenges that leaders face in modern organizations, you want to start by thinking about the challenges.  A 2-to-3-page paper is the standard length for a five paragraph essay, and that model can easily be expanded to a six paragraph essay.  So, you are going to need the structure of an introduction, 3 or 4 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.  For the body paragraphs, we would suggest identifying a key challenge for each paragraph.

Improvements:

More specific: Focuses on the "making" of exceptional leaders rather than the general concept of leadership.
Differentiates between inherent and developed traits: Recognizes that leadership qualities can be both innate and acquired through experience and training.
