"I'm the boss!"
It's a common mistake to think management is defined by formal authority—the ability that comes with a title to impose your will on others. In fact, formal authority is a useful but limited tool.
People Want More Than a Formal, Authority-Based Relationship with the Boss
Many managers—especially those who were achievement-driven stars as individual performers—don't even think about relationships. They're so task oriented that they put the work to be done and their authority as boss at the heart of what they do and assume they can ignore the human aspects of working with others.
The problem is that most people don't want your authority to be the be-all and end-all of the relationship. They want a personal, human connection, an emotional link. They want you to care about them as individuals. They want you to encourage their growth and development. Research tells us this kind of human relationship with the boss is a key factor determining an employee's level of engagement with the work.
We know of a small-company owner, a warm, decent woman, so pressed for time she consciously decided to avoid small talk at the office. She never opened up to people about herself or asked about their lives and interests. She didn't, that is, until her people rose up and expressed, through an intermediary, that they hated how she treated them. They wanted a real human connection with her, even if she was "the boss."
Trust is recognized as an important factor that mediates many aspects of human behavior (Camerer, 2003). Definitions of trust vary but a widely accepted one is that it is a psychological state comprising the intention to accept vulnerability based upon positive expectations of the intentions or behavior of another. Therefore, a person (the trustor) who depends on someone else (the trustee) expects to reduce the likelihood or size of a negative outcome in some situation, such as when that dependence is misplaced, the expected value of the outcome is lower.

This document provides questions for senior executive teams to discuss at weekly meetings to strengthen performance. It includes 13 questions organized under topics like executive excellence, communication, accountability, and transparency. The questions are meant to keep priorities fresh and foster team nourishment, discussed over 13 weeks per quarter for a year. Each topic has a definition and example question to prompt generative discussion. The goal is to solidify the team's performance basics through ongoing, essential conversations.
Effective communication is essential for organizational success. Communication allows for the exchange of information between individuals and helps coordinate work. Barriers like selective perception and defensiveness can interfere with communication. Informal networks also facilitate information sharing. Modern technologies have revolutionized workplace communication through tools like email and telecommuting. However, remote work can lead to social isolation. Overall, communication is key for managing employees, promoting understanding, and achieving organizational goals.
THE QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP Trust Reputation and ConfidenceDarryl Bubner
This document discusses the importance of trust and reputation for leadership. It defines trust as involving honesty and reliability, and relying on others to follow through on their words and actions. Reputation involves broader perceptions of a company based on everything they do. Building trust requires acting with integrity, being competent, keeping commitments, treating employees fairly, and communicating openly. Leaders establish a culture of trust through their own behaviors over time. Maintaining trust is key during difficult periods and requires assertiveness balanced with fairness.

Creating A Sustainable Employee Engagement CultureDavid Perry
The document discusses 10 keys to creating a sustainable employee engagement culture through common cause. The keys are grouped under the principles of challenge, communication, and compensation. Under challenge are: setting vision and goals, expecting executive excellence, and allowing creative license. Communication keys include: dialogue with a positive attitude, positive reinforcement, allowing no-fault adaptation, and involving employees in decision making. Compensation keys are: exceeding industry norms for pay, long-term financial ties to the company, and over-the-top rewards for top performance.
The document discusses the five dimensions of organizational trust: executive to everybody else, manager to employee, peer to peer, company to vendors/partners, and company to market. It defines trust as having integrity, competence, and compassion. Each dimension of trust is important for collaboration, effectiveness, and an organization achieving its mission. Raising levels of trust involves consistent behavior, open communication, transparency, accountability, and focusing on win-win outcomes rather than individual interests.

15Five's Guide To Creating High Performing TeamsDavid Hassell
Managing a team has never been more complex. Knowledge-based workers are challenging status-quo leadership at every turn. How will you keep your A-players, ensure their happiness and call forth their best week after week?
15Five's Guide To Creating High Performing Teams contains helpful management tips on everything from building better relationships with employees to supercharging meetings and performance reviews.
The document discusses several issues related to 21st century leadership. It begins by introducing the challenges faced by CIO Rob Carter at FedEx. It then outlines five sources of leader power: legitimate, coercive, reward, expert, and referent power. Developing trust is also important, which involves being honest, competent, and inspiring. Empowering employees involves increasing worker decision-making. Leading across cultures requires adjusting leadership style to different national cultures. Effective leadership involves training to develop skills like vision-creation and trust-building. In some situations, certain variables can substitute for leadership behaviors.

- The survey found some alignment but also misalignment between what advisors think is important to clients and what clients actually want when selecting an advisor.
- Advisors overestimated the importance of having a personal connection, while clients primarily valued being listened to.
- There was a substantial disconnect around fees, with clients wanting an approximate calculation of fees based on their portfolio, which less than half of advisors provided.
- Overall, the findings suggest advisors should focus more on listening to clients, being transparent about fees, and demonstrating how their interests are aligned with clients' interests through approaches like similar investment allocations. Developing emotional intelligence skills could also help advisors better understand clients' perspectives.
Symposium 2015 : Business Relationship Management as as a Role, a Discipline,...PMI-Montréal
In today's world many challenges rise from the miscommunication between the Business and the Service Provider (i.e. IT). In many organizations, those two entities are seen as rivals rather than partners. The BRM sits between the Business and the Service Provider to help ensure convergence of business values, priorities, timely escalations, and powerful communications deliveries. The BRM role focuses on the business customer and realized business value. BRM competencies can be leveraged through organizational roles, a discipline, and an organizational capability.
The BRM Discipline rests on solid research-based foundations verified and enhanced over a decade of successful implementations in leading organizations around the world. Proven to be equally effective for shared services including Human Resources, Finance, Legal, external service providers and others, BRM practices have enjoyed widespread adaption in IT. The BRM organizational Role is a crucial link between a service provider and the business. In practice, the titles used by BRMs vary considerably (e.g. Business Partner, Account Manager, Consultant, Business Unit Manager, and Business Integration Manager). Building a BRM organizational capability goes well beyond just defining the BRM role and placing individuals in that role. The growing global importance of Business Relationship Management as a role, discipline and organizational capability is due to the shift from Provider ( i.e. IT department) as a commodity/order taker to a business strategic partner, as there is an increasing business demand for innovation and agility.

Assignment Description
There’s an old adage that says that history is always written by the winners. Although this is not always the case, it is true that people's sense of historical events is often influenced by the viewpoints of the historians who write about them.
During the Watergate scandal in 1974, many policy pundits wrote columns demanding that President Richard Nixon resign from the presidency because he was, in their view, clearly culpable for the Watergate break-ins. Not all pundits felt this way, however. Click
here
and
here
to read articles that offer differing views of President Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal.
Complete the following for this assignment:
Step 1:
Summarize the arguments made in each of the two articles regarding the conduct of President Nixon. How might each of the author’s views impact the reader’s understanding of the Watergate crisis?
Step 2:
Describe how the Watergate events changed American views toward politics and politicians. In your view, how did these events change the press coverage of politicians?
Step 3:
Speculate about how the Watergate event coverage might have been different (better or worse) in the age of social media and smartphones. Would it have lasted as long? Why or why not? Are these innovations in technology helpful or harmful to the way that people understand current events?
At least 2 credible sources are required for this assignment. Your sources should be cited using APA format; both in-text citations and references. Please use the CTU Undergraduate Writing Style Guide for assistance on APA formatting.

Assignment Description
There’s an old adage that says that history is always written by the winners. Although this is not always the case, it is true that people's sense of historical events is often influenced by the viewpoints of the historians who write about them.
During the Watergate scandal in 1974, many policy pundits wrote columns demanding that President Richard Nixon resign from the presidency because he was, in their view, clearly culpable for the Watergate break-ins. Not all pundits felt this way, however. Click
here
and
here
to read articles that offer differing views of President Nixon at the height of the Watergate scandal.
Complete the following for this assignment:
Step 1:
Summarize the arguments made in each of the two articles regarding the conduct of President Nixon. How might each of the author’s views impact the reader’s understanding of the Watergate crisis?
Step 2:
Describe how the Watergate events changed American views toward politics and politicians. In your view, how did these events change the press coverage of politicians?
Step 3:
Speculate about how the Watergate event coverage might have been different (better or worse) in the age of social media and smartphones. Would it have lasted as long? Why or why not? Are these innovations in technology helpful or harmful to the way that people understand current events?
At least 2 credible sources are required for this assignment. Your sources should be cited using APA format; both in-text citations and references. Please use the CTU Undergraduate Writing Style Guide for assistance on APA formatting.
