...Achua , (2013) Team centered and leader centered leadership styles have their own particular strengths and weaknesses . Leader centered leadership needs to take just conclusions from colleagues however leader needs to make the choice. Leader has to control, run the gathering. In Team centered leadership, leader has to include colleagues in the choice making methodology, Leader has to work just as consultant and facilitator instead of manager. I consider team-centered leadership as the most effective leadership as it emerges relationships among people who work together especially in a joint intellectual effort. It makes your job easier by connecting and communicating with people, helps in organizing people and achieve goals. It is self regulating. It is the result of collaborative efforts of all the people within the organization. Team-centered leadership clearly marks the difference between authority and leadership. All the units in an organization are complementary in terms of contribution. Every person has a significant role to play. This kind of leadership is inherent within an organization. It helps the organization to function smoothly. Accountability, trust and shared goals are clearly visible in this form of leadership. Leader-centered approach may prove successful sometimes but often, people within the group do not have agreement. Moreover, it may also become authoritative and the common goals may not penetrate in the entire organization. Thus, team-centered leadership...

...Team Leadership MGT 521 December 15, 2014 Team Leadership The following document was created in an effort to evaluate the individual characteristics of each team member and to form an effective team. The team objective is to establish a new department that will implement the company's expansion into the Home Automation market. The target date for the unit to be fully operational is March 15, 2015. A Jungian 16-type personality assessment was conducted on a team to aid in selecting the correct member for each particular area of operations within the newly developed department. Target Market The company's expansion into the Home Automation (HA) market is a direct response to the technological needs of today's home buyers. HA provides the convenience of controlling lights, utilities, music, and security systems through remote access via the Internet or Smartphone. In addition to the convenience, the homeowner receives the added benefits of cost savings. Heating and cooling usually contribute to more than 50 percent of energy costs for a home (DeFeo, 2014). Unlike conventional heating and air, HA provides the opportunity to reduce the average utility bill significantly by continuously monitoring the living space and adjusting the temperatures in each room. The cost associated with lighting a home can also be positively affected by using HA systems. DeFeo (2014) states, "a single bulb can last 20 times longer when simply dimmed at 50 percent." (para. 3). And since the bulbs...

...School Improvement Team: Problem to Address Anthony J. Cade Grand Canyon University: UNV 577 January 22, 2014 Introduction: In discussing with my administration the issues we were facing as a school and perhaps things that needed to be looked at that can change. Administration expressed the need to look at classroom management for some teachers. Teachers lately have seen the need to in act punitive punishments towards our students. Punishments that include taking away extracurricular activities, electives, and things students enjoy with their time outside the classroom. This is in direct conflict with our school vision of “redefining excellence: and the student creed we developed last year. This creed includes the procedures we hope all students will follow. Students are to be on time, be prepared, and to respect people, property, and the learning process. This was to take the place of the traditional student rules that every teacher had. The student had to have seven different rules to remember and the need to act different in every class. The student creed was an easy alternative as the teachers can just point and the student would cite the creed. The table below will show the leadership team I would assemble in order to re-visit the rules and procedures to follow in regards to classroom management. The people on the leadership team all have different strengths and different input to develop a process to combat these punitive...

...Team Leadership Name MGT 521 Instructor To: Mr. Gallaudet From: Mr. Getz CC: Members of Team C Date: February 3, 2014 RE: Managing a Successful Team For any successful manager, he or she must fully understand his or her own team members. The team leader must treat and lead every member of his or her own team differently to ensure that the work is done efficiently, correctly, and the best possible method. Once the team leader has been able to determine each member’s personality, he or she must start by analyzing each type and prepare how they can be lead. INTP The first member of the team was scored as INTP. This setting shows that this person is more introverted and intuitive. This type of personality can be considered extremely helpful in solving complex problems and can thrive when using unorthodox traditions in solving those problems. These types of people work best with small groups or independently. This type of person in the team would be the person that would operate in the back and say very little. This can be effective during brainstorming sessions to find new solutions to problems. Leading this type of person will require minimal supervision and let work on the independent projects that will greatly assist the team. INFJ The second member of the team was scored as INFJ. This setting shows this person as creative and also introverted. This type of personality can be seen as the type to help teammates with solutions. These types...

...[SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT TEAMS] School Improvement Teams are critical for successful learning communities. This team should be comprised of various stakeholders who have the autonomy to voice improvement strategies that are conducive to the school’s goals. School Improvement Team: Student Motivation Principal Staff Assistant Principal Staff Kinder Teacher Staff 1st grade Teacher Staff 2nd Grade Teacher Staff 3rd Grade Teacher Staff 4th Grade Teacher Staff 5th Grade Teacher Staff Fine Arts Rep Staff Counselor Staff/Community Liason (TA Rep) Paraprofessional Staff PTA President Parent Parents Community Students From Each Grade Level School Improvement Team: School Motivation One of the largest problems I see today is the lack of student motivation in elementary school students. We are constantly trying to find innovative ways to connect the school environment to their real world. “It takes a village to raise a child” so every stakeholder involved with the school should make a conscious and consistent effort to do their part. The team I chose above consists of the principal who is the leader of the school. He/she is the tone setter. The school climate is often created by the principal. They can heighten or dampen the moral of a school which in turn affects the motivation of the teachers. Teachers know they have a job to do and most of us love to do it no matter what type of principal we have. However...

...Teamwork and Leadership 1. Teamwork defined My view of an ideal team is that which has an identity and functions to cultivate the efforts of every member of the team for the benefit of the overall team. This means that the group values each person’s contribution in his or her capacity towards a clear unity of purpose. Conversely, this can only occur if every member knows what he/she is supposed to do, and for what reason he/she is engaging in the role assigned. Besides, a team requires members to function, but it cannot function without the participation in their distinct capacities to be capable of delivering the goal of the team. In addition, every member should understand each other even as they participate for the benefit of the team. On the other hand, in as much as every team member’s views should be held in high regard, and that everyone should be free to contribute ideas, decisions should be dependent on the general agreement of the team members. In cases where teams consist of a considerable number of members, it is evident that disagreements will be unavoidable. An ideal team is that which is capable of finding the best means possible to accommodate each team member and their views without compromising the goal of the team. 2. Teamwork Created Building a strong sense of team goes beyond only having members with defined roles, because any team is only as strong as its weakest link. A team without an objective is as good as dead, and for this reason team members...

...Leadership SMART Goal Sherri Love Chamberlain School of Nursing Christle Shavers NR 447 Collaborative Health Care Team-building Leadership Core healthcare competence According to the Institute of Medicine, patient-centered is “health care that establishes a partnership among practitioners, patients, and their families (when appropriate) to ensure that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care” (2001). There are many attributes that can be associated with patient-centered care. First, there is the requirement for education and shared knowledge; second is the requirement for the involvement of a patient’s family and friends; and third is collaboration and management of a care team. Since patient-centered care connotes healthcare that is solely focused on the needs of the patient, there is need for nurses and other health care providers to be sensitive to the spiritual dimensions of care as well as to other non-medical attributes of human nature. The patient should be respected and his needs and preferences should form the core of the decisions made by health care providers. As a requirement, and to streamline care, there is need for information to flow from the experts to the patients and to the family and be accessible to the relevant parties. Leadership SMART goal I will learn how to handle a patient’s members...

I am counting on all of you to help me pull this through, for I cannot fix this alone. I need your full support and corporation to have this situation repair in a speedily fashion.

Since recently, a great deal has been mentioned about the demand for maintaining motivation and engagement in the cutting edge employees during these times of important experiments and transformations. Up till now, as a leader in the company I am apprehensive and worried about the forthcoming for two reasons. The primary concern is an increased risk that my own personal livelihood might be affected due to the fact that all organizational levels will be impacted by the cutbacks in personnel. A secondary concern is that the survivors of the cutbacks will need my help and support to continue to stay engaged in their work. I will more than likely require these employees to achieve more with less. To aid in coping and enduring these difficult times while preserving effectiveness, I have come up with three propositions to consider. Establish Activities and a Positive Mindset It is common for all employees in times of change to communicate aggravations, put up shields, and oppose distressing transformations. Since these reactions all contradict production...

The two skills that I would like to acquire would be from the Rules of Engagement: * Process * Scenario Planning 1. What actions will you take to build those skills? And, how will you gain feedback, and from whom, to determine whether you are demonstrating those skills? What will you ask that person(s) to do? Some of important aspects necessary to (1) build an effective process would be to know how clearly the process defined helps in communicating the tasks to be accomplished and helps to ease the day-to-day activities/work. Make use of various IT tools and technologies available to track all the necessary data. (2) Efficient scenario planning by developing ‘safety’ procedures to identify issues early and to be able to resolve them in a timely manner. Anticipate any roadblocks and potential differences in opinions among the team members in terms of ideas or suggestions, which is very common in a virtual team. Here openness to ideas and showing the flexibility for changes will foster creativity. Effective feedback could be achieved through honest discussions and encouraging team members to openly discuss their point of views, for members who do not actively speak-up by themselves...

...Foreign Auto Shop Part1 Alan has been the owner and manager of a small auto repair shop for seven years. The auto shop has a steady and royal clientele who appreciate the fact that they receive quick, reliable services at a fair price. Alan employee’s seven mechanics and two office workers. Gil and Hans are the two oldest mechanics and they are the easiest to supervise. When Alan assigns work to them (mostly high-precision, specialist jobs), they do it quickly and hardly ever make a mistake. Bart and Herbie are also skilled mechanics and Bart specializes in repairing motorcycles, and Herbie is whiz at troubleshooting engine problems. Three younger workers do the jobs that call for lower-level skills under Alan’s more careful guidance. Kirk has a degree in industrial arts but he could not get a job in his specialty without moving to another city and he seems to have resigned himself to auto repair work. Lamont enjoys working on sports cars and is getting to be quite an expert at operating the electronic diagnostic machines. Joanie does general mechanical work and does it well. Alan takes care of customers when they drop off their cars in the morning, then he plans the work schedule and assigns the mechanics to work on particular cars. Most of the work is done by individual mechanics but occasionally a job requires two mechanics to work together. The work of repairing cars and conducting routine maintenance on them is welldefined; there are standard procedures and standard times...

...Organizational Planning Mario S Surla MGT/521 April 9, 2014 Donald Ratliff Organizational Planning Wal-Mart is an American multinational retail corporation and the top retail store with the lowest prices in the world. It is the biggest private employer and the largest public corporation with over two million employees worldwide. There are approximately 245 million customers and members that visit Wal-Mart each week, globally. It has stores in 27 countries and sales in 2013 were $466 billion. Wal-Mart’s mission statement of having the lowest prices is consistent with controlling cost, innovation and continuous improvement (Fortune 500, 2014). One of the strategic plans of Wal-Mart is to bring back “Made in America” products (“Time”, 2014). One of the reasons for having low prices is because Wal-Mart’s global out-sourcing. Goods and products that are made and bought overseas are cheaper. However, higher and increasing shipping costs, high global oil prices and wages overseas, translated to costlier fuel for ships and airplanes. There are also supply interruptions overseas as the middle class is growing and local demands are increasing in developing countries. This prompted Wal-Mart to re-evaluate its sourcing ways on variety of products. As you know, Wal-Mart does not produce goods or products but this giant retailer is playing a part in the manufacturing rebound in the U.S. It promised to buy $50 billion of U.S. goods over the next 10 years...
