Choice of leaders geniussIn the process of received incidents with in the group of people whether it create temporarily or permanent which requires someone to lead or conduct the group of people in a way that drives towards right direction. For whatever ecesis it is difficult to run a condescension without a leader. It is alike driving a car without knowing the road. The somebody who is appointed or selected as a leader desires to claim certain influential skills which cause the validation to follow. To be a leader the exclusive must be able to experience followers to act for certain goals that represent the values and motivations the wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations of both leaders and followers (Burns, 1978). on that point are some differences and similarities between the companies followed leading style. It depends on organise of a company, area of a business and other featureors which would influence the leadership style of the organization. Manage rs need to have certain skills to run their business in any situation and need to reflect feedback gathered from other people, on their business process and some clips they need to delegate someone to complete the specific task within a particular time frame and the outcome would show how favored and inspirational managers they are.1. Identify factors in organisations that would influence choice of leadership styles and rationalise why leadership styles are likely to positively affect team building.Mainly there are four basic factors which influence leadership style in certain organization (US. Army, 1983), which are leader itself, follower, situation and communication.Leader The knowledge, personality, beliefs, skills, ethics and values of the leaders (his/her) allow affect the leadership style. The leader will reflect his or her personal characters on the process of strategy or way of doing.Followers Any organization consists of numbers of followers with different backgrounds and personalities. leadership should use the most appropriate strategy in a way that followers to respond their best and they need to know their people well.Situation leaders stay had to choose the strategy in many different situations. Every strategy does non work for every situation. The one strategy you used in one situation may not work for in other.Communication The way of communication shows the relationship between the leader and an employee. The relationship between leader and an employee affect the leading style.Adams Equity TheoryAccording to this theory, when fair balance between employees inputs and outputs settled productivity of work is to improve with motivated employees.Employee Inputs include childbedLoyaltyHard WorkCommitmentSkillAbilityAdaptabilityFlexibilityToleranceDeterminationEnthusiasmTrust in superiorsSupport of colleaguesPersonal sacrifice, and so forthEmployee Outputs includeFinancial rewards (salary, benefits, perks, etc.)Intangibles that typically inc ludeRecognitionReputationResponsibilitySense of AchievementPraiseStimulusSense of Advancement/Growth calling SecurityWhen employees think their inputs are more than their outputs, some employees are to work hard to bring the balance whereas some may feel de-motivated and could look for some other alternative employment. Therefore manager needs to keep the balance of input and outputs as fair as possible. In the practical life these inputs and outputs of employees are match differently, based on organizational structures and its management style. There are five kinds of leadership styles dejection found in organization which are Autocratic, Collaborative (Participatory), representative and Laissez-Faire.Autocratic leadership style Manager has as much power of authority as possible and does not seek input from team. Employees are pass judgment to do their work as whatever manager said. Also this type of leadership is likely to reduce motivation of employees.Collaborative (Partic ipatory) Leadership style This leadership style is the most effective one for team building. Every one from each department, appointed for certain task within the organization and encourages creativity, productivity and responsibility. representative Leadership Style Managers inform their employees for everything and encourages employees to participate in a conclusion making process through gathering information, suggestions and caprices from members and employees.Laissez-Faire Managers leave their employees free for decision making, determining goals and objective and all authority is given to employees.Among these leadership styles most appropriate one for to create effective team building is the collaborative leadership style. For instance, at STARBUCKS, the managers wanted to develop a deep relationship with their employees in order to achieve their think from trust other employee carer UNIONS. Starbucks has increased the employees outputs to motivate their employees such(pre nominal) as providing them opportunities to practice their skill, allow them to contribute to organization, improved the working condition, created a part of the organization environment and recognised employees achievement awards like Warm Regards, muggins Award and Spirit of Starbucks Award. When employees achieved their task or exceeding the targets, they are to get motivated and rewarded when.2. With reference to a relevant leadership ideal, explain how an organisations working practices could be improved, by collecting feedback from others. Any organization is in battle to continuous improvement of its product and service. One of Japanese most famous management model is KAIZEN. Kaizen meat on going improvement involving everyone, top managements, managers and workers. Kaizen refers to removal of 3MUs (Muda- waste, Muri-strain, Mura- discrepancy) and application of 5Ss (Seri- straighten up, Seiton- Put things in order, Seiso- clean up, Seiketsu- personal cleanliness, Shitsuke -discipline) at any take aim of the organization in order to improve the process of the organization continually.When any problem is seen in the organization, it demands some changes for improvement and as a matter of fact only the honest and realistic feedback would affect to bring sustainable growth and change in the organization. Gathering feedback from others is one of the most important techniques for both individual itself and for the company to improve its ongoing performance. The feedbacks can be gathered through different ways such as curriculum vitaes, suggestion box, face to face conversation, telephone, online comments etc. The output of the company could be more effective, when managers reflect the gathered feedback information on their decision making process.Employees are one of the main factors for operating business and managers are able to know how employees think, feel and behave, through a relevant survey. The employee attitudes, opinions and suggestions in the survey would provide opportunity for managers to see the organization from different angle. The survey should aim to understand what makes their employees motivated or discouraged and what factors that can provide a job satisfaction or dissatisfaction, what do employees think about authentic situation of the company, what changes they want, then managers would be aware of the problem and they would be able to know what steps needs to be taken and which helps the company to operate in more productive and profitable ways.The most recent and effective appraisal, for individual and organization is the 360 degree feedback and which has widely implemented in numbers of organizations. 360 Degree or multi-rater feedback is a process which is a tool of individual or organizational self assessment through multi raters feedback and anybody who is related to individual or to the organization can be involved in the process such as managers, direct reports, clients, customers, suppliers etc.In this process you are not assessed by one person like only by your manager, you are also assessed and rated on your performance by other people who know about you and your work well. Your own finished assessment will be compared with others opinion and feedbacks and the result will be much more realistic and objective as assessment involved heroic number of raters than as involved only one rater. When this process implemented well and effectively, which will help the organization move towards bright and successful future.3. apologize why it is so important to make effective and efficient use of your teams knowledge and skills while planning to achieve work objectivesMore or little someones help encourages an achievement of success for any reason. No one could be successful without receiving any help from others. Specially, a manager in any organization works with other people as a team for a certain goal and whose success can not be measured on its own, without his/her employees. There are numbers of tasks need to be completed by team members to reach the set objectives. However it does not mean that everyone can do whatever they want. As a manager it is important to use knowledge and skills of his/her employees, in effective and efficient way. Manager needs to consider and identify which employee is faithful at what and what skills of employee need to do what task, during the planning and task allocating process. When manager identifies the strength and weakness of the employees it will be easier for the manager to delegate the task. If managers delegate the tasks without having any idea of their employee skills and knowledge, a team can face quality and cost related problems and it could cause not to achieve the set objective on time.The outcomes are as written bellow when managers use skills and knowledge of their employee in a right waySave time to accomplish a task on timeA good quality of workSave cost and moneyReady for next similar task, since mana ger knows who good at what4. Identify and drag one barrier to relegation in the workplace and one mechanism to support delegation in the workplaceDelegation is a part of a managers job and which gives responsibility, authority and accountability to employees and also gives opportunity to show their skills and talent to their managers. Some managers avoid delegating works because of mistrust and try to complete the unit of measurement work on his/her own. It brings workloads and stress to the manager and even can cause to failure of work. Therefore delegation of work is useful for manager him/herself, employees and for the company as a whole. However there are some advantages and disadvantages of delegation.Advantages of delegationEfficient use of time and skillsProvides professional growth opportunitiesPromotes teamworkIncrease productivityDevelop trust with your employeesSave moneyGives employees pride in their work and improve job satisfactionDisadvantages of delegationDelegate d work may not be do right onEmployees may focus more on their own work than delegated workEmployees may not be sure who to consult because of unclear structure of authorityThe numbers of obstacle can appear in front of delegation though the barrier that seen most frequent is the own attitudes and traits of delegators or managers themselves. Delegation means allowing someone to do something through giving an authority to make their own decision to complete the certain task. The main barrier appears when the manager to decide whether to delegate or not and the reasons which influence managers to not to delegate are, having a mistrust with their employees and having a fear of loosing their authority to others. If manager do not trust his/her employees skills or having a fear of loosing his/her authority to someone, manager would prefer to do it on his/her own, rather than delegating to someone.Even though there are some factors which iron out managers to delegate the task to someon e, which are size of organization, more demanding tasks to complete, task complexity, qualities of subordinates and importance of the duties and decision. These supporting factors are more situational and the most influential one, which supports the delegation, is having workloads in a workplace. When managers have to complete massive works in a short time, they will prefer to delegate someone to complete the task behalf of them. Otherwise managers can not be complete their task on time and which could influence their work performance negatively.5. Explain one technique that could be used to monitor the outcomes of delegation in the workplaceA manager as a delegator needs to make sure that delegated tasks are being done correctly and effectively to begin with its accomplishment. Every tasks need to be completed in a certain period of time and employees supposed to be aware of what work needs to be done, how it should be done, whom they are going to consult when problem appears and what outcomes do managers expect. If manager re-inform about deadlines and establish checkpoints and ask members if there is any problem or if they need any help to support them for finishing the relevant tasks which would help managers to get successful outcomes from their staffs. However the one thing that managers always need to remember is not to interfere too much to their employees work where you delegated. Because, it could influence employees decision, to accomplish the task on their own way and which can not be effective when something has done under someones pressure.ConclusionThe numbers of organizations are being established day by day and they would choose their own management style adapting to their business situation. There is no such leadership style, which is always successful and its effectiveness would depends on what organizational culture they have and what type of business they run.Managers need to have certain influential leadership skills which are to accompl ish the certain task successfully through making their employees motivated. On the other hand, managers decision will not be right all the time, sometimes they need to listen to other peoples opinion, suggestion and ideas and should reflect those things on their decision making process to reach a successful outcomes.
