Management vs Leadership Tonia Lowman HCS/514 September 14, 2015 Mr. Steven Bonell Introduction Hello Nicole, I am emailing you to explain the question asked in the office meeting this morning. Many people are confused on what management and leadership involve. Management is a universal thought since its principles and techniques are used all over the world, regardless of their level of development. When looking at leadership, it is a vital part of management and carries an important role in managerial functions. It is the aptitude to establish principles and values as well as supervise a creative environment where everyone is self-motivated towards achieving long-term productive goals.
Ashley will need to submit an effective plan to resolve the issues that are faced in the plant by focusing on: 1) Key issues and mistakes 2) Key data sources and collection, and 3) possible solutions to the problems. Key Issues and Mistakes The first key relationship issue deals with the lack of respect between the general supervisors and the foreman. The job of the line foreman at Lima was a daily challenge, requiring foremen to juggle and resolve a variety of personnel, resource, and administrative issues in a 12-hour shift (Skinner & Beckham, 2008).Those in higher management seem to put all the responsibility on the foreman with little training and then expect the foremen to get it all done or be subject to "severe tongue lashing and usually threatened with a poor performance review"(p.3).

Human Resource Paper on Contract Negotiations In the changing world of business negotiations has become a part of everyday business. Negotiations can stem from negotiating for a raise or if a HR department is negotiating for a new contract with a union for all the employees. In my twelve years at AT&T as both a manager and a union steward, I have had the experience of viewing the negotiation process from both sides of the coin. As a manager, I have seen the HR department prepare for negotiations and prepare the company for a strike contingency if the contract negotiations stalled and the union went on strike. As a union steward, I have witnessed the union prepare for the union members for strike and stall the negotiations in hopes for favorable actions by the company.
