One discussion post reply - 200 words min Transparency in the Workplace It is not a surprise that "transparency" is a topic of discussion these days in all sectors--for-profit, nonprofit and government. It is an essential quality of organizational and leadership integrity. So... What factors are causing transparency to be stressed as a critical organizational and professionally quality? What does it mean to be transparent as an organization, a manager and a staff employee? What does it mean to be transparent in business dealings and in creating and maintaining business/workplace partnerships? What are the underlying principles and values that guide organizations and the professionals in being transparent (e.g., trustworthiness, honesty, etc.)? Why are these values important and how are they connected to being transparent? How can transparency become more an intrinsic value in today's organizations--for-profit, nonprofit and government--and in the business arena in general? .

WWW.SLOANREVIEW.MIT.EDU SPRING 2009 MIT SLOAN MANAGEMENT REVIEW 39 Downsizing the Company Without Downsizing Morale AFTER MORE THAN two decades of research into corporate downsizing, there remains a funda- mental question: “How can managers and employees rethink their organizations even as they confront the need to downsize?” More specifically, how can organizations support learning, innovation and creativity while at the same time finding effective ways to improve costs, quality and productivity? Some might argue that these goals are at odds with one another — that you can’t build a better and a leaner organization. We disagree. In our 1998 Sloan Management Review article, “Preserving Employee Morale During Downsizing,” we maintained that strong organizations need to develop resilience so they could take advantage of new opportunities that arise during periods of economic retrenchment.1 When downsizing is unavoidable, smart managers look for opportunities to improve flexibility, innovation and internal communication to improve trust between managers and employees. BY ANEIL K. MISHRA, KAREN E. MISHRA AND GRETCHEN M. SPREITZER THE LEADING QUESTION How can managers and their employees rethink their organizations as they confront the need to downsize? FINDINGS ! Rather than focus- ing on being smaller and more efficient today, the goal should be to become better and more competitive tomorrow. ! The most successful companies focus on building trust and empowerment. ! Front-line managers need to be trained and empowered to become liaisons between top management and employees.

QUESTION: Discuss how leaders can use emotional intelligence today in the workplace. Include subject headers that introduce the following topics and relate these concepts to at least one company: accountability, transformational communication, and values. You may use multiple corporate examples your choice. READINGS: Guy Millar explains the importance of developing emotional intelligence in creating true corporate values business decisions.\"Yur priority is to establishthe right culture andleadership, makingcitizenship core to ourvalues and day-to-day\"Committed to safety, respect, excellence, courageand one team.\"\"...our behaviour being open and honest ineverything we do\".\"...to act with the highest integrity in everythingwe do\".These are the stated values of some of theFTSE 100 companies that have been pilloried inthe press of late. However, our experience of theseorganisations has not tallied with these fine words.Users of these companies\' products and serviceshave felt let down, used or cheated. Trust has beenbroken, with little faith in it being restored. Forthe employees working in these organisations,there is also a feeling of being let down, and wherebefore they may have felt proud of their company,they now feel a certain amount of shame.The soul or heart of any organisation orbusiness is the quality of its relationships. It seem the people have been forgotten and that manyorganisations\' values have lost validity - losingtheir reputation and integrity along withtheir souls.The companies that do the best job of living upto their values and developing ethical employeesrecognise that the real cause of success - or failure- is always the people, not the words. Ultimatelyactions will say much more to employees aboutvalues and leadership than words ever can. Ifactions are wise, no one wiU care if the words arenot perfect. If actions are foolish or iU-considered,the words posted on the corporate website and inthe staff handbook will only look like propagandaand no one will believe it.The current wave of corporate disapprovalbegan in 2001 with the bursting of the dot- combubble, the ensuing bear market, and the financialscandals involving Enron, WorldCom, Tyco andothers. Ever since, the press has had a field daywith the top people in corporations and publiclife providing a constant source of entertainmentof the worst kind - ritual humiliation. In anutshell, the actions of these CEOs, politicians,celebrities and organisations have let them down.\"If people\'s state of being is not matched by theirstate of doing, they recklessly court disaster,\" saysMarianne Williamson, author and founder ofThe Peace Alliance\'.References1 WilliamsonM The Ageof Miracles:Embracing theNew MidiifeHay House(2008)2 http://www.towerswatson.com/research/7177Being congruent is really important rightnow and it goes to the heart of what businessleadership needs to be about.An organisation\'s values should be anexpression of its culture, of what it believes to bei.

Conceptually Management & leadership are two different sides of the same coin. All executives are managers, in fact all employees may classified as managers for the assigned task & responsibility but in essence only the executives working in top positions are genuinely defined as the, management of the company. Among the top management the Leaders by implication are the people with vision, deep understanding of business, acumen, drive, ability to lead & guide people, risk taking ability etc.

DQ4-1 Responses Trust is the most important element in any relationship. Without trust, misunderstandings, clashes and conflicts are bound to happen which can affect any relationship whether it is personal or professional. In an organization, trust is one of the most valued elements which can be used to gain follower ship and support of the workforce. A positive example is when a manager trusts his employee to lead a project, it will automatically motivate the employee to work harder and to prove himself trustworthy to the manager. This would not only help in bringing down the employee turnover rate but will help in improving the efficiency and productivity of the workforce. On the contrary, when employees feel that they are not being trusted with leading jobs, they will feel unmotivated which might affect their performance and the overall productivity in the organization.

Yvette https://smallbusiness.chron.com/effective-communication-organization-1400.html 3. n business , organizations need to have a good relationship with each other in order to have a successful partnership; one of the main factors of a good relationship is trust. According to Piricz, (2018) trust is so important because it can be used as a marker of the satisfaction an organization has with another or even their displeasure. Trust decides how frequently groups work together and the value placed on each transaction in a business perspective. In the example of nonprofits, an annual partnership of five years and successful events working towards the same goal, has a higher level of trust than a first-time partnership with mixed results. Should both organizations ask the partnering organization to collaborate on a project, that business would choose the one of five years over the one-time partnership, (Piricz, 2018). Trust on a personal level between the people in an organization and working with other organizations assists in negotiating terms, conditions, and limits. A trusted leader can inspire more follower ...

White paper on Servant Leadership presented at PMI Global Congress 2015. From the Abstract: I am often called into organizations to help them address significant business, product and/or people issues. Regardless of the organization’s core issue(s), I regularly find the mindset of leadership at the heart of the dysfunction. A relentless top-down driven environment with work pushed onto teams is common. This tends to lead to a culture of indifference, lack of accountability and/or innovation, and results not typically aligned with stakeholder needs. With a servant leader approach, where a partnership and coaching stance is used, I generally see much better results, increased morale and more growth from all parties. Transitioning to a servant leader mindset is a challenging and lengthy journey. Several approaches are discussed.

The purpose of this research paper is to identify why Human Resources (HR) is a change agent in any organization to drive organizational excellence. HR practitioners, as change agents, are responsible for easing the impact of changes in their organization and to empower employees against the consequences of these inevitable changes. Sometimes, the change helps to produce a significant increase in performance excellence and the company can boost sales and production without major additional cost. Several vital competencies that are reviewed in this paper include how HR practitioners are path creators amongst the path breakers of organizational culture, by being change drivers and business focused. HR practitioners who are unable to function as change agents will inevitably create a barrier against their becoming a well-integrated strategic partner. Therefore, the role of change agent also mediates the relationship between certain HR competencies and organizational performance. This involves monitoring employee engagement and keeping levels high, developing strategies to retain top performers, and continuing to provide value-added services to employees.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Communicating Negative Information As you learned in the previous module, delivering bad news requires communicating honestly and directly, but also effectively. Communicating negative information or giving feedback to an employee is especially important for both the employee’s as well as the organization’s morale. Review the following scenario: Nancy Douglas is an assistant accountant for the hardware division of Crothwall and Associates—an IT company founded in 1997 and currently worth five billion dollars. The company conducts performance appraisals twice a year. Nancy has worked for the company for a year and a half and has received a B grade on her performance for both the appraisal cycles. After her second appraisal, Nancy had made a ten-thousand-dollar accounting mistake. Nancy takes an hour to commute to work and is a single parent. She has two children, ages three and six, and is on medication for insomnia. Assume that you are an assistant HR manager at Crothwall and Associates. You need to inform Nancy that she has received a C grade on her performance after the third appraisal and this is her only opportunity to improve the quality of her work. Based on your analysis of the scenario, the module readings, the online library resources, and the Internet, develop a scenario, including dialogue, for the conversation between you and Nancy in this situation. The scenario should be a properly worded communication and use communication etiquette effectively. Be sure to give reasons for your assertions and support them with scholarly research. Write your initial response in a minimum of 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Saturday, March 29, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area .

Assignment 1: Discussion—Biomes, Development, Pollution, and You Each part of the United States has at least one ecological crisis based on location, biome, and industrialization pattern. For example, the Midwest was once a prairie with very fertile soil. However, when people realized that with the right watering and drainage system this area could become productive farmland, there arose ecological problems. The conversion of the prairie to farmland is the root cause of many ecological problems in this region. Regardless of what biome you consider, humans have likely had an impact on the ecology of that area. For this assignment, identify the biome in which you live. The following are a few examples of biomes: Tropical rainforests: This biome has high average temperatures, high moisture levels, and high species diversity. Prairies: The prairies have grassland-variable temperatures, variable moisture levels—depending on proximity to mountain ranges—and are mainly dominated by grasses and ungulate herbivores. Deserts: These biomes have hotter average temperatures, low moisture, lower species diversity, and a composition of species limited mainly to those that are adapted to hot temperatures. Temperate forests: The temperate forests have variable temperatures, high moisture levels, and higher species diversity. Taigas: These biomes have colder average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and lower species diversity. Tundras: The tundras have cold average temperatures, low moisture levels, and low species diversity. Coral reefs: These biomes have high average temperatures and high species diversity. Open oceans: These biomes have a wide range of temperatures and species diversity varies. Chaparrals: The chaparrals have higher average temperatures, lower moisture levels, and are dominated mainly by grasses and shrubs. Alpines: These biomes have low average temperatures, low precipitation, and receive high ultraviolet (UV) rays due to high elevation. Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following: Explain how humans have impacted the biome in which you live. List the types of environmental damage that have been caused and the species that have been impacted. Describe the major pollution issues for your biome, and elaborate on the sources of this pollution. List any species that have become extinct in this biome. Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references. Write your initial response in approximately 300–350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Saturday, July 26, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, July 30, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Assignment 1: Discussion—A Life in Review In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred. Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities. Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review. Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following: What do you look forward to about getting older? What would you most like to look back on? How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life? Support your arguments with research, citing sources. Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Friday, September 12, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Wednesday, September 17, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Ask a question, remark on an analysis presented, or suggest an alternative view.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Employee Impact on the Plan An organization can come up with the best strategy but in order to execute and be effective/successful it takes human capital to implement. Employees (management and staff alike) need to be bought into any strategy and its proposed results—this can make or break a plan. Understanding organizational behavior is an important part of plan execution. Using the module readings, the Internet, respond to the following for your own organization or an organization you know well: What are the individual behaviors that you can observe that have the most dramatic impact on the organization’s performance (good or bad)? What within the work setting drives these behaviors? What are the implications of these behaviors for recruiting and training new employees? Write your initial response in approximately 300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. By Monday, April 14, 2014 , post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area . Through Tuesday, April 15, 2014 , review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. This is how I typically sound in my writing...this can be used as a focal point for the discussion: Organizational behavior (OB) is the study of individuals and their behavior within an organization. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes sociology, psychology, communication and management. (Cornell University Library Guides, 2011) Organizations are referred to as a group of people that share a common purpose within the same environment. Organizational behavior therefore refers to how groups of people behave within the organization due to the changes in culture with each stage of the business. Power is the ability to make things happen, as you want them to through a person, team or organization. It can be getting anyone to do what you want done. However, influence is the possession of what you have when power is exercised. (Organizational Behavior, 2003) My organization: Darden Restaurants. You can make anything up. :) .
