This document summarizes a research study that explored correlations between motivational value systems and leadership approaches. The study administered surveys to army management students to assess their motivational value systems using the Strength Deployment Inventory and leadership styles using established instruments. The study hypothesized statistically significant correlations would be found. Results showed weak to moderate correlations between certain motivational values and servant, transactional, transformational, and situational leadership approaches. The study aimed to inform leader development by linking inherent motives to leadership styles.
Forces of change such as virtual organizations, digital convergence, and the knowledge economy are driving the need for organizational transformation. Effective change involves motivating change through communicating a vision, developing support, and managing the transition. It also requires overcoming resistance to change through education, participation, and leadership commitment. Leaders must align their values and behaviors with the change vision, drive the process to completion, and build the organizational and team capacity for change.
The document discusses several components of attitudes including cognitive, affective, and behavioral components and defines attitude as evaluative statements that are either favorable or unfavorable about objects, people, or events. It also discusses factors that influence attitudes like importance, correspondence to behavior, accessibility, and social pressures. Finally, it examines organizational commitment in employees which can take the form of affective, continuance, or normative commitment and how commitment impacts productivity, absenteeism, and cultural differences.
This document outlines 15 organizational principles for building an effective organization:
1. Have clear overarching principles and goals that are well understood. Stress integrity and commitment.
2. Use goals throughout the organization and make them meaningful to achieve. Reward success.
3. Measure productivity at multiple levels using analytical tools, compare to goals and history, and focus on continuous improvement.
The document discusses the concept of change and provides definitions and examples. It defines change as meaning to cause to be different, to transform, to interchange, to exchange or replace, to abandon or switch, and to transfer between conveyances. It then discusses understanding change management as a strategic skill and learning to be adaptable. It outlines experiencing a change scenario and identifying reactions, reviewing transitions of change, communication tips, helping team members through change, focusing locus of control and building resilience, reviewing emotion and resistance to change, and overcoming resistance to change.

The document describes Hersey and Blanchard's Situational Leadership model. It includes a self-assessment to determine a leader's preferred leadership style based on their responses to different leadership situations. The model proposes that leadership style should depend on the readiness and competence of followers. There are four leadership styles that range from directing/telling followers with low readiness to delegating to followers with high readiness. Effective leaders adapt their style based on where followers fall on the readiness continuum.
This document summarizes several theories of leadership:
- Trait theories propose that certain personality traits differentiate leaders from non-leaders. However, no universal traits predict leadership in all situations.
- Behavioral theories focus on specific leader behaviors and propose that leadership can be learned or taught.
- Contingency theories emphasize that effective leadership depends on matching a leader's style to situational factors. Fiedler's contingency model and cognitive resource theory fall into this category.
- Hersey and Blanchard's situational leadership theory focuses on adapting leadership style to follower readiness or ability.

This document discusses the importance of trust in fostering innovation within organizations. It outlines a Behavioral Trust Framework (BTF) that identifies specific trust-building and trust-damaging behaviors. The BTF allows individuals and organizations to understand how to develop trust and collaboration, which are necessary for innovation. Applying the BTF can help reduce controls and proxies for trust, allowing for greater innovation capacity. Managing trust behaviors, rather than just outcomes, is key to catalyzing innovation.

There was a conflict between two fairies that was escalating until a third fairy intervened and told them "Nuff said", stopping the argument. Some pixies were bothering passersby until one upset fairy confronted them and the pixies fled when another said "That's E Nuff". At a fight in the forest involving many magical creatures, one fairy was able to subdue them all until a werewolf objected but was stopped when someone said "That's Fairy Nuff". Now in the woods you may encounter this fairy who will "deal with any humans" and you don't want to hear "E Nuff".

CVS Surveyors |Hows build-up trust in Business | PresentationCVSSurveyors701
Chief Executive of CVS business rates specialists CVS,CVS Surveyors, Mark Rigby, explains exactly what the Revaluation is, and what impact it will have on you as a business ratepayer.For many businesses this Revaluation has provided some relief. Rateable Values were last assigned in 2008 and were followed almost immediately by the recession, which saw commercial property values collapse. The Government then, for reasons somewhat unknown, decided to extend the Rating List (the length of time a business pays their assigned bills for). This means that businesses throughout the UK were stuck paying outdated values for an additional 2 years. The recent Revaluation is a chance to rebalance the situation.
The economic impact of coronavirus means that many voluntary sector organisations will be going through a period of significant change over the coming months.

The document summarizes the findings of a survey about outsourcing security concerns. Key findings include:
- Companies are increasingly concerned about information security risks when outsourcing and perceive greater risks with offshore providers.
- Capabilities are prioritized over budgets when evaluating providers, and defining/monitoring security in contracts is challenging.
- Respondents want more third-party audits and independent evaluations of providers.
- Industry associations and public-private partnerships are preferred for establishing standards, while external auditors should monitor compliance.

This document outlines procedures for material movement and vendor movement at a security site. There are two types of inward material - non-returnable, which is not sent back, and returnable, which is sent back after use. Likewise, there are two types of outward material - non-returnable and returnable. The basic responsibilities of material movement guards include receiving, registering, and safeguarding incoming materials, escorting materials within sites, maintaining documentation, and submitting documents to relevant departments. For vendor movement, guards are responsible for registering vendors, checking their identification and equipment, tracking their movements, and clearing them upon exit.
A work permit is a document that identifies work being done, associated hazards, and safety precautions. There are several types including general, hot work, height work, excavation, electrical, hazardous, and confined space permits. The permit process involves the issuer, acceptor, machine operators, workers, supervisors, and client representatives. First aid involves responding to critical emergencies, treating wounds, burns, temperature extremes, injuries, bites/stings, and performing CPR. CPR provides chest compressions and ventilation to preserve brain function until further treatment can restore blood circulation and breathing. An AED analyzes heart rhythm and delivers shocks to restore normal rhythm in cardiac arrest.
The document provides guidelines for a work permit system to ensure safety when conducting inspection, maintenance, repair, and construction work. It outlines:
1. The purpose is to control work activities and ensure safety considerations are followed.
2. A work permit is required for maintenance, repair, construction, inspection, and other hazardous work.
3. There are different types of permits for different jobs - cold work, hot work, excavation, electrical work, and working at heights.
4. General requirements include having a valid permit, separate permits for each job, attached safety guidelines, and ensuring permit conditions are followed.
A security plan at GSK aims to reduce risks of terrorism through various measures:
1) All access doors must be properly secured and all visitors and vendors screened for weapons.
2) Luggage and carry-on items must be screened for weapons before entering restricted areas like pilot plants and labs.
3) Security patrols and training help monitor sensitive areas and respond to threats, preventing harm, loss, or damage from terrorism.
This document provides training for GSK security officers on fire safety procedures, first aid techniques, and CPR. It describes how to safely transport unconscious or injured individuals in fire emergencies using different carries involving 1-4 people. Guidelines are given for types of injuries including wounds, burns, fractures, and shock. First aid techniques are demonstrated for various injuries like head wounds, fractures, and amputations. CPR and treating heart attacks, choking, and electrical shock are also briefly covered. The training aims to equip officers to properly assess incidents, stabilize casualties, and provide immediate first aid or lifesaving measures as required.

BRIJESH SINGH
It has been said that the “lack of courage to delegate properly, and of knowledge of how to do it, is one of most general causes of failures in organizations.” Managers must learn how to delegate effectively.
The old saying is “If you want something done right you should do it yourself,” does not apply in today’s organizations. There simply is not enough time for the manager to do everything themselves. This is a list of the advantages to delegation.
The first step in delegating a work assignment is deciding what should be delegated and too whom. Prior to delegating a task these items should be considered by the manager.
This slide brings closure to the delegation topic by giving a pictorial representation of the concepts.
There are certain guidelines that should be followed when delegating task in the organization. The next two slides provides the list of those guidelines. Follow the hyper-links for explainations.
There are five varying levels of delegation as it relates to empowerment. They are listed on this slide from the least empowerment possible to the highest level of empowerment. Management must consider the factors before delegating the assignment and then chose the appropriate level of delegation.
The amount of authority need for the job must be given to the employee so that they can feel there is a sense of self-determination in their work. They must also be held accountable for the work results that they produce.
It is important that managers delegate before they ever reach the crisis management stage because then the delegation appears to be a way of work for the manager. The manager should also give both pleasant and unpleasant jobs away because this helps employees see the good and the bad of life rather than just one side of the work.
Oncken and Wass (1974) wrote an article called “The Care and Feeding of Monkeys.” In this article they point out that managers often times unknowingly take assignments from their subordinates. Questions come up and the manager says things like “I’ll think about.” The monkey has jumped from the subordinate to the manager. It is important that the manager remember that they have delegated the prime accountability. They should ask a question like “what do you think we should do?” This leaves the monkey square on the back of the employee and the manager free to use his time for other things.
This slide defines empowerment. It is important that the students see that this is an investment into the stakeholders of the organization. It involves them and truly is a transference of power.
These are the five core dimensions of empowerment, follow the links for more information.
Empowered people have a sense of self-efficacy, which is a personal sense of competence. They feel that they are not only competent but that they can also perform adequately. There is a sense of personal mastery and a belief that they can learn and grow to meet challenges. The last for items are the requirements for self-efficacy to exsist.
Research has defined this as: “To be self determined means to experience a sense of choice in initiating and regulating one’s own actions.” In empowerment it usually covers the areas listed.
Small losses of personal control can be harmful physically and emotionally. Examples are depression, stress, anxiety, low morale, loss of productivity, burnout, and increased death rate. It is important for individuals to feel as if they have some control over their outcome.
Individuals who engage in work that they feel is meaningful are more committed to it and more involved with it. Individuals have higher concentration and are more persistent in pursuing desired goals. They are also more innovative, upwardly influential and personally effective when compared to others with low work meaningfulness.
“Trusting environments allow individuals to unfold and flourish”. Having a feeling that the behavior of others is consistent and reliable, that information can be held in confidence, and that promises will be kept all are a pert of developing a sense of empowerment in peopole.
In order to use the theory of empowerment management must remember to delegate meaningful work to the employee. These are some thoughts on how to accomplish that goal.
Part of inspiring employees to commit to the organization is tied to the communication of SMART goals. This acronym is laid out on the slide above
