1. How do charismatic and transformational leadership compare and contrast? Why are they valid concept today?
A: the charismatic leadership and transformational leadership are almost same, like transformational leader’s Individualized Consideration and charismatic leader’s sensitivity to followers need; transformational leader’s charisma and charismatic leader’s. But they still have some different in some parts. The Charisma in transformation leadership is different with charismatic leadership. Transformational leadership can be used in every level of organizations, but charismatic only suit for top managers. Charismatic leadership has dark sides,

Leadership Factories 1. It is true the composition impact to the CEO produce. And I believe it plays an important factor in produce CEO. The managers have more practice management experiences; they have more chance to get retraining opportunity; better welfare can make them have better performance in work, then they can get promotions. Managers also have higher education background compare with blue-collar workers, it may help them in promotions. That is why managers have more chance to become CEO.
2. I don’t think the leadership factories also a better place for nonleader to work, the reason why those people can become the CEO must have reasons, their charisma, experiences, education background, passions, are those nonleader cannot compare. The reason why those places become leadership factories is those elite gather in those places, like a real factories, the raw material is the key to produce quality goods.
3. Yes it is, I will choice the more CEO produces company. The more CEO produce company means they have more high working skills employees and better networking environments. Working with those people will help me to learn my leadership skills and develop networking may can be used in future.

“Political Activity is alive and well in organisations. Critically discuss this statement. What factors result in Organisational Politics and what is the role of such behaviour on other people at work?”
Transformational leadership is a style of organization where a pioneer works with subordinates to recognize required change, making a fantasy to coordinate the change through inspiration, and executing the alteration couple with presented people from a get-together. According to me transformational leadership and charismatic relate to the four followership types. The four followership types clearly discuses about trust, stability, compassion and hope which are clearly emphasized in the “Focus on the Followers” section of the leadership text
Transformational Leadership empowers or enables its followers. The leader engages with the follower in a way that both the leader and follower transcend to a higher level of motivation and morality (Nicholls, 1994).
One thing the organization could do to raise the gender consciousness would be to do an ongoing series of sensitivity training for all staff. Along with this training would be annual assessment seminars that will teach people the different types of discrimination and harassment and the steps they need to take when such a situation is posed upon them. In the Cancer center where I am employed, women make up nearly 70% of the managerial and supervisory staff in all departments. At the executive level they only make up
Transformational leadership are classified into four components which are pointed out by Bass (1990, p. 28), ‘charisma, idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration’. Apart from these basic roles, charisma leadership, a collection of personal characteristics, has its own role of literature since it has similarity with transformational leadership and they are contribution to each other (Bertocci, 2009, p. 43; Judge & Piccolo, 2004, p. 755). Leaders’ behaviour reflects them being role models for their followers. Followers respect, admire and trust their leaders who have charismatic effect on their followers to an extremely high grade are willing to take risks
Transformational leadership is defined as having four conceptually distinct elements: charismatic leadership/idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration (Bass, 1996). Servant leadership has
The A-Team was forced to disband because from the very first tasking, there was conflict between the group members. The group never actually came together to complete their first tasking of defining roles. The arguments between the group members got so bad that one of their team members walked out for the group and threatened to quit the program.
Organizational Behavior Management (OBM) is a vital part of the success of a company. The employee’s thoughts and actions even considering culture are thoroughly analyzed. This idea allows managers to improve not only individual behavior but also group dynamic performances/interactions and workers safety. This theory is considered as a science of the behavior of each employee. The history of OBM started in the 1900’s, with the strong influence of Skinner and Watson. Scientific Behavior began in the workplace, following the applications of behavioral principles to instructional design. Frederick Taylor, another innovative manager was a huge supporter of the scientific method being presented and utilized. Three main areas of OBM application include: Performance Management, Behavioral Systems Analysis, and Behavior-Based Safety. Inside of each area, there are key points to consider. Some would be leadership, decision making, team building, motivation, and job satisfaction. In short, OBM is the study that reviews how organizational structures are an aftermath within companies.
The success of a corporation has been traditionally tied to how well the managers execute the roles of leading, planning and controlling. One of the key components of the controlling aspect of management is the evaluation of the people that they are managing. The function of this process involves monitoring performance goals and has management taking corrective actions when necessary. Performance evaluations can be described as the measurement of the performance of an employee related to defined measures, using an applicable performance goals and appropriate criteria that relates to the employees work in question. This paper will review the engineer’s evaluation in the given case study.
After starting this organizational behavior (OB) class, I’ve been able to more deeply evaluate the importance of the way people interact in the workplace. More so, I have been learning to take the time to reflect on myself as a person, a student, and a soon to be working professional. The fact of the matter is – there is always room for improvement. I’m looking to improve on every possible aspect of my life I can. Not to sound like a cliché or anything, but it seems as though life sometimes gets in the way of being able to take a step back and assess yourself.
The study of Organizational Behavior (OB) is related to individuals, group of people working together in teams. The study becomes more challenging when situational factors interact. No two individuals are likely to behave in the same manner in a particular work situation. It is the predictability of a manager about the expected behavior of an individual. There are no absolutes in human behavior. It is the human factor that is contributory to the productivity hence the study of human behavior is important. Great importance therefore must be attached to the study.
Researchers have proposed several characteristics of leaders described as ‘charismatic’. The widely accepted characteristics of charismatic leaders are (Bryman et al., 2011, p. 90-91):
Organisational Behaviour (OB) is the study of human behaviour in an organisation. It is a multidisciplinary field devoted to the understanding individual and group behaviour, interpersonal processes and organisational dynamics. OB is important to all management functions, roles and skills. Since organisations are built up levels - individual, group and an organizational system as a whole, it is important for managers to understand human behaviour in order to meet the organizations overall goals. I found several key learning areas that are meaningful, interesting and relevant to my work over the course of studying this unit. These key learning areas have not only expanded and improved my view of organisational behaviour but they also have
Organizational behavior is the behavior of individuals, either one or a group. It is not the behavior of an organization, but rather the behavior of the people in an organization. This can be anywhere from a family at home to a church to a work group within a company. Some of the challenges that make behaviors challenging in today’s workplace are high performance, ethical behavior, productivity improvement, technology utilization, quality, diversity, work-life balance, and the global economy, (Schermerhorn, 2003, P. 1).
