My Statement On My Management Presentation

COMS 201 has been an interesting, yet somewhat difficult class. In the past I have enjoyed online classes because I can work at my own pace and do my homework and learning when I had the time. When I look back, I have realized how much work I have put into a two credit hour class and this class was not what I was expecting at all. I was thinking the class would be laid back and enjoyable. Sometimes I enjoyed the class, but most of the time this class was a pain. From this class though, I feel that my leadership journey has changed and I have grown in how I view leadership in my daily life. In this reflection, I will discuss my leadership journey with this class, review my journal entries if I saw growth or not, and some advice I would give my future self to help with my work of leadership.

As a Naval Officer I had the opportunity to experience both leadership and management. Today's Navy operates with fewer people and resources than before. Therefore, leadership and management are more important than ever. Very early in my career I was taught leadership and as I advanced through the ranks I experienced management.

▪Jennings asks too much of his employees sometimes. He will ask them to do things that are not in their job descriptions; such as get him coffee and pick up his dry cleaning.

Jack’s main job is to ensure that the inside of the buildings and the grounds are clean and in good repair and are pleasant places for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. This sounds like a simple description of his job, but it includes a lot more responsibilities. He has to make sure that everything is working fine, take care of plants, snow removal, heat and air conditioning, and maintain constant level of humidity in the greenhouse for biology department. He manages seven other full time workers. Each of them has their own responsibilities. He also hires part time workers depending on the need. Jack can’t possibly do it all alone. He needs at least one person for each job. In addition, he monitors their work, makes sure that everything is getting done. Work specialization is very important for Jack’s job. It is very beneficial, but it also has its cons. Boredom, fatigue, stress, low productivity, poor quality, high turnover are all negative things that can come with work specialization. Jack needs to motivate his employees, make sure that they are happy and have no problems. A good way to do this is to make them feel like the boss of their job, he needs to show that he trusts them and they can make good decisions. Moreover, it will be beneficial to involve them in decision process too. For example, one of the employees has specialization in heating and plumbing. He is more experienced in this field. So listening to ideas he has to offer

Being both a mentor and a leader has been an important part of my life for many years. Wether it has been a school project or helping kids I have worked hard at being a leader and mentor for others. From 2006-2011 I spent a few weeks out of my summer vacation being the leader of a group of incoming Kindergarteners at a program known as Safety Town. Safety Town is a program that had middle school/high school kids leading a group of 6 or 7 children and helping them learn about how to be safe, with each day focusing on a different topic (i.e. fire safety, stranger danger, transportation safety, ect.) I was actually attended Safety Town when I was an incoming Kindergartener and years later I learned that my 6th grade teacher ran the program in our area, which is how I eventually moved from a mentee to a mentor.

As I work to make myself available to my followers. Creating a strong relationship with those around me is one of my top goals because once you develop a relationship, it becomes easier to work together on a project. I reach out to those around me almost daily, and I will continue to reach out to those who will follow me in the future. I want my followers to know that I am here for them. In the leadership positions, I am in now, I make sure that I post opportunities to gather together: from an organized movie night, eating meals together, studying together, or offering everyone a hot cup of tea (or other food). I make sure that the mentees know my door is open to them. I encourage almost any form of communication from text to a letter, but most of the communication, between my followers and I, is done through a group chat or face to face. I feel like my interactions have created a more open environment where the students feel safe coming to me to talk about topics they do not feel open enough sharing with a group of people. I am aware that my leadership roles will change, thus the way I interact with my followers will change with it. A constant notion that will not change is my effort to be involved with those around me. Just letting them know that I want to be there for them helps build bonds of respect and trust with any follower group.

I don’t like the idea of being told to tell you about my character or how I exhibit leadership, because those who claim to know they have good character are usually those who do not. To speak of how I exhibit leadership, you would need to speak to those I lead, not me, but I will try my best to tell you about myself in the most flattering way I know how without stretching the truth and that would be to tell you about what is important to me. Those are the things that make me

Welcome to Target TalentWorX. On behalf of the leadership team, it is my pleasure to introduce our newly branded firm, previously Target Search & Selection, and highlight a few of the driving forces behind us being compelling advisors to competitive organisations. ‘Competitive’ doesn’t only equate to large and enterprise businesses, we pay special attention to niche and smaller business equally motivated to disrupt.

First, I will be explaining my management style. Even after discussing management styles, I am still not sure where I fall. I took several quizzes, but would get a different answer each time. Personally, I believe I usually settle between the authoritative and pacesetting management styles. I have high standards, but I am open to letting others find better way to complete a task. If they fail, I will take over and do the task myself, or let someone I find more knowledgable do it. I usually work by persuasion, and always provide feedback when I feel something could improve or if there is an easier way to complete a task.

Some might argue that there is not much difference between management and leadership. While a good manager can also be a good leader and visa versa, this does not always hold true. "A leader is someone who people naturally follow through their own choice, whereas a manager must be obeyed. A manager may only have obtained his position of authority through time and loyalty given to the company, not as a result of his leadership qualities. A leader may have no organizational skills, but his vision unites people behind him."(1) I believe an individual can go to school, get a good education and can be taught to be a good manager, but there is more to being a good leader. Being a leader, I believe, is an inherent

Leadership is a difficult discussion even nowadays, because there is not just one conclusion, but a combination and variations of that.

Out of the four topics I would say the first step in the four functions of management is organizing.

It is essential to link each individual perspective with the others in such a way that they all are interconnected when achieving the vision of the business.

I have obviously gone to management about her. My coworkers cringe when they work with her, housekeepers and our housemen jump for joy when she isn’t working. I have talked to management about her. My AGM wasted an hour of my time back in September. We had a private meeting and I told her about the coworker’s racist comments and about how she is habitually late and refuses to be a team player. I was promised that she was going to be fired in November.
