Task 3
3.1
Managers have subordinates - unless their title is honorary and given as a mark of seniority, in which case the title is a misnomer and their power over others is other than formal authority.
Authoritarian, transactional style
Managers have a position of authority vested in them by the company, and their subordinates work for them and largely do as they are told. Management style is transactional, in that, the manager tells the subordinate what to do, and the subordinate does this not because they are a blind robot, but because they have been promised a reward for doing so.
Work focus
Managers are being paid to get things done, often within tight constraints of time and money. They thus naturally pass on this work focus to their subordinates.
Seek comfort
An interesting research finding about managers is that they tend to come from stable home backgrounds and led relatively normal and comfortable lives. This leads them to be relatively risk-averse and they will seek to avoid conflict where possible. In terms of people, they generally like to run a 'happy ship '.
Leaders have followers
Leaders do not have subordinates - at least not when they are leading. Many organizational leaders do have subordinates, but only because they are also managers. However, when they want to lead, they have to give up formal authoritarian control, because to lead is to have followers, and following is always a voluntary activity.
Transformational style
Telling people what to do
Also, managers monitor employees, and support them without oversight. Managers encourage the workers. In other words, it is easy to talk with your manager, because he/she wants to hear employee’s ideas. In fact, managers help employees improve work performance, so the employee can learn from their mistakes. Sharing information is a must in the workplace, so employees are on the same page, and work can be done efficiently. In the meetings there are a lot of giving and receiving information, employee to management. Just think if the manager did not have employees working for them, they would have a lot of work to do. Maybe, each employee can give them a different insight to complete the task faster and correctly. Support from a manager is needed in the workplace, because employee’s need to feel
To fully explain the relationship between Leadership and Management we need to appreciate that the two go hand in hand, they are by no means the same thing but they complement each other when driving any team to perform and exceed targets within a business. The manager’s job is very task-focused. They often have to follow company
Managers perform many functions and play many roles. They are responsible for handling many situations and these situations are usually different from one another.
Leadership is defined as the ability to obtain followers (Maxwell). Obtaining a following is dependent on one's influence on others. Essentially, everyone influences someone, whether one intentionally influences a
Businesses also have a variety of different leaders controlling the organization. Some executives attain a high-level position, placing them in a leadership role. However, there are many leadership positions that do not actually “lead” a team. A leader does not decide to be a leader overnight. A leader possesses a particular set of qualities and
Managers are tasked with the responsibility of supervising the work done by employees under them. Some are engaged in policy
The difference between a “manager gives the order and leaders innate, a manager is the copy the leader is the original, a manager relies on control, the leader inspires the truth, and a manager askes how and when, the leader asks what and why ( 2015)”. Leadership is an individual who can inspire, give hope and make one’s self confidence. Prosper leaders throughout time have conquered many places and have stories to back them up. Management on the other hand is and individual who has learned from great leaders and a delegator to lower individuals that need guidance and some inspiring to help them become a better individual and move up in the
Managers are leaders, leaders are managers, these concepts have long been thought to be synonymous. Ideally, for a manager to be good, the former is the case, but this is not always the case. Further, one doesn’t have to be a manager to be a leader. Anyone can be a leader. They are the people who exhibit superior interpersonal qualities that allows them to create connections to obtain a desired outcome; these are informal leaders (Sullivan). Everyone knows that one or two informal leaders, the people you just get behind and follow because they are so charismatic and influential. They don’t stand up to be recognized, they simply do it, as it comes natural to them. Managers on the other hand are placed in a position of power by an organization
Management style: there are two types of manager: autocratic and democratic. Autocratic managers make decisions without involving the staff. This can be a good idea in some circumstances (for example the need to make a
Managers work with people, as do leaders, but managers are focused on establishing agendas, providing structure through organizing and staffing, and generating creative solutions through controlling and problem solving. Leaders, however work on inspiring others through creating a vision, and establishing direction. In addition, they communicate
Managers are responsible for being a manger and a leader all rolled up into one, but it takes an effective leader to carry out the roles. A leader has to
In traditional settings, leaders derive authority from bureaucratic values. In a bureaucratic authority, there is a hierarchy of relationships within the organization. Sergiovanni (2015), describes the relationship of supervisors and subordinates as lacking collaboration and common goals. In a hierarchy, “goals and
When they give orders to subordinates, they give clear instructions, and the subordinates follows them and even choose them as the best leaders. An example of this is when I first started working in the company, I saw that my supervisor was not only delegating responsibilities, but also helping with rushes that we had in the workplace. My team and I recognizedA him as the best leader. Legitimate leader most of them are males, but as stated for Social role theory “women are expert to be less competent leaders” (Eagly & Karau, 2002). A leader must exercise the power, be intelligent and have leadership whose people recognize them as good leaders and who are dominant. They are “charismatic leader in deed are effective, according to meta-analyses ( Fuller, et al, 1996). Obedience and leadership goes hand by hand because the leader needs to imply the guidelines in the company, but the employees (subordinates) need to obey the guidelines by following the leaders orders (p.
Management involves the tactical aspect of day to day functions and who keeps control of the work environment to make sure the organization is moving forward and in the same direction of the company’s vision. Managers are faced with many responsibilities each day, one of which is managing people. The goal of a successful manager is to achieve the highest productivity of the organization by way of the people he/she manages. A manager is more of a problem solver and takes care of work areas relating to people management, time management, decision making etc.
Managers are expected to do a multitude of things. A manager has to be a visionary and adaptive to meet the current demands of what is required of them at all level
