The management team needs to understand that “change is an ongoing and never-ending process of organizational life” (Van de Ven & Sun, 2011, p. 58).

("Store Wars," n.d., Big store, business practices section, para. 1).The low prices may be great for the economy, but that's about all walmart is doing for America. For people who work at Walmart, in order to make ends meet, they usually have to work at two different jobs. Their significant other usually has to work, too. Not enough money and too much stress lowers the quality of life that people have, and their standards of living also drop, as they are forced to get by with cheap, low-quality items (Nickels, McHugh & McHugh, 2010).
UNIT 513 POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS Dear shell i have thrown this together quickly so it may not be too good but hopefully will be ebough xxxx 1.

The type of influence tactics that can be used throughout KFF are proactive influence tactics. The tactic I would use the most across all the different managers is collaboration. This will allow for the consultant and staff to build a healthy working relationship.

Giving her all the fact will allow Kathy Kudler to make a good decision about what steps KFF needs to make from top to bottom to allow the new software to be accepted throughout the organization.
Suggestions are currently submitted to a Screening committee that makes the decision to implement or disregard the suggestion, I think they should make this a more public process in which the committee picks the best suggestions and the employees take a vote on them. Restructure the bonus payout instead of making it monthly, quarterly or annually would be better. Create a better feedback system where employees and managers hold meetings to discuss productivity strategies or ways to get more employee involvement. Lastly, setting SMART goals (specific, measureable, aggressive, realistic and time-bound) for employees to achieve is a great way to increase motivation. Goals give direction, energize and challenge people to complete a task and promote creative ways of getting the job done.

Also, when employees are laid off there is less income tax to be collected and to make things even worse, former employees can collect unemployment benefits from the government.
General Motor's decision to close 11 factories allowed the corporation to gain more money but put thousands out of work, devastating the workers and the towns they lived in. The corporations should think of how their decisions affect people. Although this move may provide Americans with cheaper jobs, it has added thousands more to the already high unemployment. After watching the movie "Roger and Me," directed by Michael More, one would notice the changes in the town of Flint after the closing of the factory. While senior management is getting raises and expanding their corporation, people are living in misery because of the lay-offs; this could change if the corporations gave those unemployed some compensation.
Transformational leadership inspires followers to transcend their self-interests for the good of the organization and plays an extraordinary effect on their followers. Characteristics of transformational leaders contingent reward promises rewards for good performance. Management by exception watches and searches for deviations from rules and standards, management by exception intervenes only if standards not met, laissez-faire avoids making decisions, idealized influence provides vision and sense of mission, inspirational motivation communicates high expectations, intellectual stimulation promotes intelligence, and individualized consideration gives personal attention.

Personal leadership Expanding the company gave me the opportunity to identify the type of leadership position that best suited me.

The company Wal-Mart provides a welcoming environment to their customers, but an uneasy work environment for their employees through uncaring, unresponsive, and unrewarding treatment. Wal-Mart’s employee wages are low with no health benefits and unstable hours each week. The company is expanding and running the mom-and-pop stores out of business. It’s these mom-and-pop stores that actually provide good jobs and have employee and customer values.
