This research will try to explain the relevance of the leader’s role in the effective governance organisations and how depending the role-played can alter the organizational outcomes. As a second aim, this essay will introduce the concepts “leadership” and “governance” showing the similarities and differences of both concepts to distinguish between its role and development. For this reason, research pretends to discuss these concepts to full understand the significance of governance and leadership within companies. In addition, a third aim was to expose the differences between a manager and a leader because both concepts are interrelated but also
By the 1940s general dissatisfaction with the failure to isolate essential leadership traits led researchers to change their focus from the leader to the situation in which leadership occurred. They realized that different people might emerge as leaders in different situations and that a person who was successful in one leadership situation might not be in another. A successful business leader might not be as successful serving as a P.T.A. president or as commander of a combat unit. A person might be a leader at work and a follower at home.
Introduction In today’s professional realm, extraordinary leadership is essential due to financial instability, worldwide rivalry, dwindling markets, unemployment, growing skepticism and distrust. So today’s professional leaders need an exceptional approach of leadership that meets all these necessities (Raja, 2012). There are two empirical studies that address the relationship between both a transformational leadership and the follower. The two faces of transformational leadership: Empowerment and dependency, (Kark, Shamir, & Chen, 2003); Impact of transformational leadership on follower development performance: A field experiment (Dvir, Eden, Avolio, , & Shamir, 2002). In order to verify if the results of these studies have intense validity, there has to be an evaluation done on them.
What does this mean and how can you, as a leader, promote ethical workplace behaviours? Submit your answer for assessment.

Workplace Diversity Jazmine Thomas Post University Workplace Diversity 1. Describe an approach to a business diversity program that would be pragmatic and ethical. Most business people would want to be both pragmatic and ethical. Pragmatic ethics is a theory of normative philosophical ethics. Ethical pragmatists think that norms, principles, and moral criteria are likely to be improved as a result of inquiry.
Questions like these need to be addressed in order to comprehend the complexity of ethical leadership in a society that generally seems to be solely profit-oriented. I did have a basic understanding of ethical leadership prior to enrolling in this class, but I sought to take advantage of the opportunity to meet leaders in the Chicago metropolitan area and gain their insights on such a significant issue in the business world. By being a part of this class, my hope was to use the advice and lessons that I learn from the various leaders to reinforce my opinions and beliefs in the importance of ethics in leadership. Having learned valuable lessons from not only the leaders we met, but as well as Professor Young and Professor Hartman, I now feel confident in my ability to ascertain solutions to business problems while keeping a mindful eye on ethics. Writing this final paper is a good way of summarizing the main points about leadership and ethics and how that message can be conveyed, as what this management class did for me, to others who wish to become or improve themselves as leaders.
It requires that we test and verify that which we already believe, but just as importantly it helps us understand the other side of an issue and literally give us a better appreciation of the true complexity of an issue. I think this is one of the biggest things I’ll take away from the course. The question for this paper was how this course has made me a better business leader. Quite simply it has taught me to challenge what I believe until I can verify it and to realize that someone disagreeing with my point of view may be one of the better “gifts” I could receive. I am a business expert in my field and yet after researching my topic, I found that there were several perspectives and applications that I had yet to consider.
Hypothesis 7: Enterprises do not agree with respect to the factors acting as barrier to the SCM implementation. In order to pinpoint the obstacles and bottlenecks, and to achieve superior performance, organizations embrace benchmarking as a strategic tool (Rigby, 2013). Shirley (1996) defined benchmarking as a continuous and systematic process in which an organization’s processes or practices are compared with its rivals having a better position in the marketplace, to discover the best way to perform a particular activity or process. Benchmarking imparts better comprehension of the current practices of the organization and allows the firms to re-engineer their business processes, so that they can attain best-in-class performance or beyond
Reflective Journal on Leadership Leadership Literature and Personal Experience In today’s highly competitive business environment, effective leadership is a must to achieve organizational goals which is essential for business success. According to Kierson (2009), a leader, in the context of organizations, is someone who can be counted on to create the future. In order to catch up with the rapid changes in the global business world, organizations modify themselves to a more knowledge-based workforce structure with highly specialized team members who are given great autonomy. As a result, becoming an effective leader requires having not only hard skills but also soft skills because soft skills are critical for productive performance in today’s workplace (Robles, cited in Nealy 2012, p. 453). In Robles’ study, the ten soft skill attributes categorized from executive listings include communication, courtesy, flexibility, integrity, interpersonal skills, positive attitude, professionalism, responsibility, teamwork, and work ethic (Robles, 2012).
