  • Why is leadership important in organisations?

    Posted by admin on March 9th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | 1 Comment »

    This is relating to management.
    If possible, in your answer could you please refer to management or business theorist e.g. F.W.Taylor or Hofstede etc.

    Thank you for your help.

    Dear Sir,
    he is just like a pilot of the plane, no plane can flight without pilot as no organization can run without management.

    Has anyone ever heared of the organization/buisiness Leadership Team Development, or know anything about them?

    Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | 1 Comment »

    I ran into someone working with them the other day, and am meeting with him today. The thing is, I want to know if they are legit before I would do any buisness with them. Some things about the circumstances surrounding it (and the meeting with this individual) make me suspicious, but not the whole thing, and it could very well be a legitimate buisiness and a possible opportunity for myself. Or it could be a scam.

    The company’s website is here: http://www.ltdteam.com/
    More information can be found here: http://www.ltdteam.com/guest/icommerce.asp

    Still, it isn’t very in depth. The man claimed that his buisiness worked with companies like Circuit City and Bass Pro (among others), but I don’t know whether these are local stores or the corperations as a whole.

    This perticular individual is out of Kansas City. His card indicates his company to be Hook International. It is not copywritten.

    Thanks in advance for any advice, analysis of the website, or info given. God bless!
    By the way, see the Copyright sign down on the LTD sight, in the bottem right corner? I checked the official government database of copyrights- no sign of Leadership Team Development.

    I don’t know much about this orginization, although I was approached last week and this lady went over a speil with me at Mc Donalds. I had asked questions pertaining to more information about this "business" and was given no real answer and invited to a seminar, which I attended this evening.

    At this seminar, they went over the brochure, which in case you haven’t seen has the same information as the website you listed, with just a little more depth. All I really got out of the seminar was that if I pay them $200 they will help me recruit 6 more people to pay them $200 and they will help each of them recruit 4 people to pay them $200 and they will then help these 4 people recruit 2 more people to, you guessed it pay them $200.

    They kept talking about these business that they work for, like Bass pro shop, circuit city, office depot, and such, but when I asked what it is that we do for this company I got no real answer, instead I got more information on how to recruit people to give them $200.

    Then I had mentioned to this "sponsor" that I needed more information, and she gave me a folder filled with information about a corporation called Quixtar, and set up a time to meet with me at Mc Donalds again, how proffesional. Quixtar, I checked is a legit business, but as I search for information about LTD, I find nothing. The brochure and folder I recieved have no stamp of LTD, nor does it mention their name anywhere in the information, however it has a vast amount of informaion about Quixtar, even BBB reports. I am going to contact Quixtar tomorrow and see if they know anything about this LTD business.

    If you find out anything more please let me know, I to am curious as to see if this is legit, or just another scam.

    why is leadership important to managing people and organizations?

    Posted by admin on March 5th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | 1 Comment »

    In your opinion, experience, why is leadership important to managing people and organizations

    Often times people will come to their manager to resolve issues and give direction regarding which path to follow. A good manager listens and evaluates each option objectively and leads the "troops" down the chosen path. Wavering or uncertainty does not instill confidence and is not a good trait for a leader and the manager may lose respect.

    What is leadership and what does it take to be a leader?

    Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | 1 Comment »

    I wanted to get different opinions on what people believe a leader is, and what qualities an individual should have in order to be a leader? Do you think leadership is different depending on what organization you are working for?

    All leaders have different styles of leadership, but some of the more common traits I would look for would be:
    -Integrity, without that nothing else matters.
    -Accountability, takes responsibility for their actions, and those of their subordinates.
    -Decisiveness, there are times when a decision must be made, and made now.
    -Trust, is willing to delegate authority to subordinates while retaining responsibility.
    -Humility, is willing to admit being wrong, and learns from experience.

    How do I start my Assignment for Leadership and management?

    Posted by admin on February 27th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | 2 Comments »

    I am studying for a foundation degree in leadership and management and have my first assignment, I have never done anything like this before and am after a little help as to how to start it. I have to examine the different approaches to management and leadership within my organisation and relate them to appropriate theories.

    Any guidance would be welcomed

    Management and Leadership: Are They Synonymous?Although good management is needed to help organizations meet current commitments, good leadership is also needed to move the organization into the future. "Most U.S. corporations today are over managed and under led." (Kotter103) Is there really a difference between being a manager and being a leader? If so, what are the differences and similarities? In order to see the big picture we must evaluate both styles and come to a conclusion.It has been said that there are several petals on the ever-growing stem of leadership. If all of the petal components are used wisely, a beautiful flower is created. Each petal is considered a form of leadership mastery, which if correctly utilized will form a beautiful flower and allow these qualities to blossom. Personal mastery is the first petal in the flower and deals with the inner voice. Listening to it, trusting it, and acting on it will allow a person to "be" their destiny. Whenever that "butterfly" feeling forms in the stomach, it’s the inner voice trying to say something. I stressful times, it becomes critical to stop, count to ten and just relax. Think before action is taken…
