Chain Of Command In College

In the organization that I work at, the Academic Enhancement Center, which is part of Saint Francis College. The center was created in 2003 is to provide academic and skills tutoring to undergraduates at the college. The core objectives of the AEC are to help students gained confidence in themselves, enhance their skills, help them succeed in their studies and retain current students. However, the academic enhancement center must complete with other organizations within the college for financial resources and other assets to run efficiently. In part four of Artistry Choice, & Leadership Reframing Organizations, states that power is crucial in central political thinking. In St. Francis College, power is centralized in the office of the president, then distributed down to the provost of the college, which is subsequently divided by the deans. In the academic enhancement center, assistant dean Monica Michalski is in charge of the Academic Enhancement Center. Dean Michalski however, supervises the Office of Freshman Studies that assists first year undergraduate students making the transition to college as smoothly

Having forty individuals under my “command”, I was able to experiment with the superior-subordinate relationship, similar to the role of a Division Officer in the Fleet. Given a general mission to train the Plebe class to be ready for Youngster Year at the Naval Academy by the Company Officer, I was given flexibility in doing whatever I saw fit to meet those ends. In my role, I would frequently issue orders (through the training sergeants). Sometimes, things went according to plans. Sometimes, they did not. It became very important, when issuing new orders for the Plebe class, that I had a specific purpose and intent. Analyzing both my reasoning, the means in which the command was implemented, and the reaction from its implementation, were important facets of reflection. When issues arose, it was my responsibility to accept failure, resolve a quick and sound solution, and implement it effectively to prevent or further issues.

The other six officers have their own agenda because there is no culture established in the town of Rixton. However, by at least having a chain of command, the unity of command, a span of control, and grouping functions those officers would have a sense of direction. Nevertheless, a span of control seems as though it is needed more in the town of Rixton because the chief has lost some control of the department judging by the six officers’ behavior. In addition, if the chief would appoint at least three Sergeants to be responsible for training and passing on information to their officers, that would eliminate half the problems the chief is having. Having the power of the government is a significant amount of power to have without a capable

Chain of command can be defined as a line of authority that extends from the top level of the organization to its lowest level. Chain of demand clearly defines that who is accountable to whom and what tasks are to be performed by all the employees. In addition to that, it also clarifies that who should be contacted when any critical situation or problem occurs. Managers usually use the chain of command while assigning jobs to the employees as it helps the employees in understanding who should they report to and who should they contact in case of a problem. There are three basic components of the chain of command (Mahida). The components are listed below:

Unfortunately, miscommunication and hierarchical chain of command issues are becoming common practices in many organizations today.

Most people provided suggestions in this area that they perceived would make the Academy run smoothly.

As an officer, we have always be told when you are in command, command. The worst thing you can do as a leader is fail to make a decision. Even if it is a bad decision, never fail to make a call. There are several models in place to help facilitate making good decisions however, it is essential not to be bogged down from information overload. It is vital that a leader clearly defines the objective, empowers his or her

What is clear from this brief summary is that there were many issues that our country faced of the learning organization. It took years to be able to reshape people’s way of thinking and behavior. There have been more trends were managers are listening to their employees on other ways to accomplish a task. Command and control has a positive and negative aspect. If used properly though, leaders can take an organization a long way. To lead you have to be able to listen as well. There is no single document which can demonstrate how a manager and employee are supposing to work within an organization.

It is important to keep your chain of command informed at all times, especially if you are in charge of the well being of soldiers. On the twenty sixth of January I failed as a Non Commissioned Officer to fulfill this duty. I was informed that one of my soldiers might be going to the hospital. I asked that person to keep me informed of my soldier’s status. Instead I should have checked on the soldier personally because her health was already in a fragile state and the problem she was having was of a very serious nature. I let my soldier down and endangered her by trying to keep the situation at the lowest level. I

It would be extremely difficult to channel all communications to the university’s president and then back down to various employees. There would not be enough hours in the day for a university president to handle the flow of such numerous communications. For this reason, subordinates must have the freedom to communicate within their departments and between the diverse schools in the university system.

The acronym POSDCORB (E) has been used in all schools and other organizations all over the world. It is a management technique that has been accepted by all managers and administrators in both the public and private secondary schools in Mauritius. However, some administrators are not making effective use of the management principles and this has a negative effect on the performance of students. In order, to achieve better results in the 21st century which is characterized as a technological world, administrative quality in terms of competent leaders are required.

The hierarchy of the Regional Office is more horizontal than vertical due to the fact that there are a large number of coordinators who answer to the Regional Director. But when looking at the system a whole, we see that the whole hierarchy is vertical but there are no ‘walls’ present between the upper and the lower levels of management. But this is not so in the school but that shall be discussed further on.
