Competitors – they will be only interested if the Business means “ASDA” is not doing so well as this will mean more business for them , because they are offering the same services within the same area. They can use the financial statement of “ASDA” as a “bench mark” for their own performance. Owners- they are the most important stakeholders, because they have established the business and they devoted a lot of their time for the company success. They are the stakeholders, who have the higher interest for the business to raise on profit and value. Employees and Managers- their interest is that the company provides them with decent live hood.
Using this as a basis for recruitment is a great start as it enables us, as a team to ensure that the appropriate staff are recruited and therefore avoids the uphill struggle, to train new members of the team to these important and high standards. It is important to consider the style of the hotel and the type of guests who stay with us. What are their expectations in terms of service? It is my role to communicate this to the team, ensuring that they are in full understanding of the standards required. This is sometimes easier said than done; we are often talking about abstract concepts and emotions but we need to make these as tangible as possible.
Acquire or Develop Talent Tanglewood should acquire talent, because it wants to keep performance and customer service at high levels. In addition, while old stores under Tanglewood have the same basic look, the management styles and human resource can use some improvements. Acquire talent is very helpful for new stores, because employees would “hit the ground running” and be at the peak performance the moment they arrive. Hire Yourself or Outsource Personally, I think Tanglewood should hire itself. Outsourcing is more practical for small and medium companies.

This prompted Monty Moran, co-CEO, to develop the “restaurateur program” which gives employees the ability to advance quickly through the ranks of the company.

Short vs. long-term focus In the case of short or long term focus when it comes to employment, it is my opinion that it depends on what you are looking for. However, it is my opinion that for your particular company a long-term focus would be better of for you guys and will help you grow faster and have a solid and consistent mission throughout your regions. I believe that having a long-term focus and investing in developing your talent will result in having great managers that will pass on the culture of the company to their employees; in whichever store they happen to be placed. Since one of the concerns for both Emerson and Wood was the lost of the company core values as a result of expanding, I believe that having a long term approach to employment will assure that those who stay with the company pass on those values to the next generation of
Set a pace of growth that will be sustainable, that will not rock the company to the core and in process set it back. BKD has learned this lesson from previous experience that put them in bankruptcy court. While implementing changes that will allow BKD to grow, the change managers and other managers within the company are setting a sustainable pace, one that the associates can grasp the change before others are thrown at them.

The vision and mission of the company are important components of any change that is implemented and by keeping them in mind, will allow the company to achieve the goal of being the leader in health and wellness for the
Due to its close adherence to its initial founding values, Arthur Andersen & Co. managed to become one of the largest and most reputable accounting firms in the world.

These were “think straight, talk straight” values that helped to ensure Andersen’s goal of protecting the public while also establishing the firm’s reputation. Andersen also enacted a “one firm, one voice” partnership model as a means to always speak as a homogenous firm.
“Motivating Employees” is a book about how employee motivation is driven by companies that invest and grow their employees. One of the most important traits of highly effective and successful companies is that employees are happy and have fun at work. Leadership is not assaulting your employees, but to lead your employees you need to motivate by using caring, inspiring, empowering, teaching, growing, investing and your employees will follow and want to contribute. Assaulting as in forcing, criticizing, and bossing your employees around will not only wear them down and unmotivated them but it will exhaust the boss as well. This book is a great resource for my paper because it supports that leaders grow their employees and make them happy.
Apart from quality and service lead, M&S has been considering the succeeding factors as their competitive advantage: (a) M&S has not only established good relationship and reciprocate profit with suppliers but also maintained long-term partnerships to work with them.
