Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

SITUATIONAL THEORIES
The Situational Leadership Theory, is
a leadership theory developed by Paul Hersey, professor
and author of the book Situational Leader, and Ken
Blanchard, leadership guru and author of The One Minute
Manager, while working on the first edition
of Management of Organizational Behavior (now in its
9th edition). The theory was first introduced as "Life
Cycle Theory of Leadership". During the mid 1970s, "Life
Cycle Theory of Leadership" was renamed "Situational
Leadership theory".
30. Leadership theories
there are four theories to support to the idea of situational
theory, they are
1. C-1 fielder‟s contingency model
2. C-2 House‟s path goal model
3. C-3 Life cycle of leadership
4. C-4 Vroom‟s and Yetton normative model
31. Leadership theories
C-1 fielder‟s contingency model
The Fiedler contingency model is a leadership theory
of industrial and organizational psychology developed by Fred
Fiedler (born 1922), one of the leading scientists who helped
his field move from the research of traits and personal
characteristics of leaders to leadership styles and behaviours.
32. Leadership theories
The Fielder has identified three important situational
factors.
He named three important theory is contingency
model because the leadership is contingent upon the
situational factors, Factors are..
a. Leader member relation
b. Task structure
c. The status power
33. Leadership theories
Leader member relation
it explains the follower‟s trust confident
and respect for the leader. It is measured through the
degree of liking and acceptance of leader. The followers
accept the leader due to his special
charisma, knowledge, expertise etc.
34. Leadership theories
Task structure
The task is divided into routine and non-
routine. The measures the extent of tasks performed by
leaders. It verifies the clarity in task definition and the
decision made. It is the total of nature of tasks performed
by the sub-ordinates.
35. Leadership theories
The status power
it explains relationship between power
associated with position and status held by the leader.
37. Leadership theories
Criticism
a. The theory does not stick on the particular model
b. It is more based on the research and experiments and not
on the systematic theory.
c. The situational variables taken as base.
d. It is a complex model not easy to understand.
38. Leadership theories
C-2 House‟s path goal model
The path–goal theory, also known as the path–goal theory
of leader effectiveness or the path–goal model, is a
leadership theory developed by Robert House.
39. Leadership theories
According to the original theory, the manager‟s job is
viewed as guiding workers to choose the best paths to
reach their goals, as well as the organizational goals. The
theory argues that leaders will have to engage in different
types of leadership behavior depending on the nature and
the demands of a particular situation.
A leader‟s behavior is acceptable to subordinates when
viewed as a source of satisfaction, and motivational when
need satisfaction is contingent on performance, and the
leader facilitates, coaches, and rewards effective
performance. The original path-goal theory
identifies achievement-
oriented, directive, participative, and supportive leader
behaviors:
41. Leadership theories
C- Life Cycle Theory
The theory is profounded by Paul Hersey and Kenneth
Blanchard. They explain that, the leadership effectiveness
depends upon situation in which the leadership is exercised.
The relation between task and maturity of followers has been
effectively broughtup. Therefore the leadership is product of
three variables such as task behaviour, relationship behaviour
and maturity of the followers.
42. Leadership theories
A theory suggesting that the type of leadership
(or coaching style) appropriate for a given situation
depends on the maturity of the athlete being coached. The
need for coaching behaviour consistent with initiating
structure, for example, tends to decrease with age. The
need for coaching styles consistent
with consideration tends to be low for very mature and
immature athletes, and high for those with moderate levels
of maturity.
43. Leadership theories
C-4 Vroom-Yetton Theory:
The Vroom–Yetton contingency model is a situational
leadership theory of industrial and organizational
psychology developed by Victor Vroom, in collaboration
with Phillip Yetton (1973) and later with Arthur Jago
(1988). The situational theory argues the best style of
leadership is contingent to the situation. This model
suggests the selection a leadership style for group decision
making.
44. Leadership theories
Vroom-Yetton-Jago Normative Decision Model help us to
answer above questions. This model identifies five different
styles (ranging from autocratic to consultative to group-based
decisions) on the situation & level of involvement. They are:
Autocratic Type 1 (AI) – Leader makes own decision using
information that is readily available to you at the time. This
type is completely autocratic.
Autocratic Type 2 (AII) – Leader collects required
information from followers, then makes decision alone.
Problem or decision may or may not be informed to followers.
Here, followers involvement is just providing information.
.
45. Leadership theories
Consultative Type 1 (CI) – Leader shares problem to relevant
followers individually and seeks their ideas & suggestions and makes
decision alone. Here followers‟ do not meet each other & leader‟s
decision may or may not has followers influence. So, here followers
involvement is at the level of providing alternatives individually.
Consultative Type 2 (CII) – Leader shares problem to relevant
followers as a group and seeks their ideas & suggestions and makes
decision alone. Here followers‟ meet each other and through
discussions they understand other alternatives. But leader‟s decision
may or may not has followers influence. So, here followers
involvement is at the level of helping as a group in decision-making.
Group-based Type 2(GII) – Leader discuss problem & situation
with followers as a group and seeks their ideas & suggestions
through brainstroming. Leader accepts any decision & do not try to
force his idea. Decision accepted by the group is the final one.
46. Vroom & Yetton formulated following seven questions on
decision quality, commitment, problem information and
decision acceptance, with which leaders can determine level of
followers involvement in decision. Answer to the following
questions must be either „Yes‟ or „No‟ with the current
scenario.
1.Is there a quality requirement? Is the nature of the solution
critical? Are there technical or rational grounds for selecting
among possible solutions?
2.Do I have sufficient information to make a high quality
decision?
3.Is the problem structured? Are the alternative courses of
action and methods for their evaluation known?
47. Leadership theories
4.Is acceptance of the decision by subordinates critical to
its implementation?
5.If I were to make the decision by myself, is it reasonably
certain that it would be accepted by my subordinates?
6.Do subordinates share the organizational goals to be
obtained in solving this problem?
7.Is conflict among subordinates likely in obtaining the
preferred solution?
48. Leadership theories
The Followers Theory:
The leader-follower theory, also known as the leader-
member exchange theory (LMX), is a leadership theory
that focuses on the interactions between leaders and
followers.
49. Leadership theories
Leader and Follower Interaction
The interaction between leaders and followers helps to
shape the success or failure of an organization. The very
concept of a team-oriented workplace, commonality
toward goals and a productive work environment stem
from the leader-follower interaction. Without a successful
relationship between these groups, effective leadership
will not occur, nor will outstanding workplace success.
Many leadership models suggest that leaders utilize a
similar leadership style toward all members of a work
group. However, the LMX theory surmises that leaders
actually develop a different relationship among different
members of the work group.
50. Leadership theories
Leadership is an act:
This centers around the fact that leadership is defined by
what a leader does, which is most cases is his
responsibility or what he was trying to achieve.
Leadership Guru John Maxwell sums up his definition as
“leadership is influence-nothing more, nothing less.”
This moves beyond the designation
that defines a leader, toward his ability to influence others-
both those who would consider themselves called
followers, and those outside that circle.
51. Leadership theories
Leadership is a property:
As per this theme, leadership is a set of qualities attributed
to those who are perceived to successfully employ them
while achieving them certain objectives. People who rely
on this theme agree that it involves certain actions and
objectives, but for them more important are beliefs,
values, ethics, character, charisma, knowledge and skills
that help in accomplishing those objectives.
52. Leadership theories
Leadership is a process:
Leadership has been described as the “process of social
influence in which one person can enlist the aid and
support of others in the accomplishment of a common
task". Other in-depth definitions of leadership have also
emerged. Leadership is "organizing a group of people to
achieve a common goal". The leader may or may not have
any formal authority. Students of leadership have
produced theories involving traits, situational
interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and
values, charisma, and intelligence, among others.
