Micromanagement

The Impact of Cultural Background on Nursing Care Over the past 30 years, the nursing workforce has slowly evolved from being composed of primarily young or middle-aged white women, to encompassing individuals of both genders, many races, ethnic cultures, and four generations. The average age of the nurse has increased from 39 to 43, and men as well as minorities have entered the field. Studies show that a diverse healthcare workforce benefits patients because they develop a better connection…

Nations are not the only entities capable of providing aid, and much of the individual work done in foreign countries comes from the private sector of society. Military aid will almost always require a government presence, but smaller expeditions, such as volunteers sent to teach, or distribute medicine, or provide service, act independently from the government. These organizations often provide a large amount of disaster relief as well, collecting and distributing donations of food, clean water…

The assembly line has historically been lauded for the success it brought to the auto industry, specifically during the production of the Model T built by the Ford Motor Company starting in 1908. What is often overlooked, however, is the human toll of this technological invention. Despite the exponential growth in efficiency and profit resulting from the assembly line and the higher employee wages that followed, worker satisfaction suffered. Frederick Taylor’s principles of “Scientific…

Leader-Member Exchange Theory The Leader-Member Exchange theory (LMX), also known as Vertical Dyad Linkage Theory (VDL) is a style of leadership which exerts and maintains leadership through working with their supporters (Leader-member exchange theory- LMX, n.d.; Eyre, 2015). The link implied here, is the one between leader and follower (Eyre, 2015). There are three stages of development of LMX relationships. The organizational or role-taking stage is where a group forms or a person rises from…

And authority is normally associated with white people. White males usually have the upper hand in these unspoken rules or unwritten rules of society. Normative power is neither good nor bad. It also refers to the micromanagement of life through the distribution of the norm. The norm which some people manipulate to have control of does its duty of regulating and controlling individuals. It really questions the way how we feel about certain things but we don’t let it show…

enumerated goods (Malone, 1954). The New England colonies were especially resistant to this new tightening of British control. Americans believed that they had matured enough to have earned proper representation in their own affairs; the sudden micromanagement of colonial affairs after years of laxity was unwelcomed and unwarranted. The Stamp Act of 1765 proved to be too pervasive for the American colonies to take. In response to the…

No matter what kind of goods or services a company provides, the constant struggle to find even better, more affordable ways to increase productivity is one of the biggest challenges to making it profitable. However, the rise of Human Capital Management (HCM) as both a budding academic discipline, as well as an emerging business philosophy, is leading many organizations to discover it’s not obstacles such as lengthy supply chains or out-dated technology causing the biggest barriers to…

The case study of the Expatriate Management at AstraZeneca organization appears to have many topics the organization has done well to include how to treat these types of employees when their work requirements take them to another country for an uncertain amount of time. There are always possible lessons learned that may not be so much for the organization but rather the employee and their quality of life when they become an expatriate. The requirements for this task may be difficult but the…

stagnation. Make your expectations clear from the beginning. If you find yourself correcting mistakes and continually playing catch-up, it might be your communication skills at fault or bad work procedures. There is an important balance between micromanagement and being totally hands-off. You need to follow-up without being obtrusive. Don 't hurry recruitment and hiring. You don 't want to overload your team, but bringing in the wrong kind of help can just add to the stress. You don 't need…

definition, then, whatever one does or thinks beyond the logical is some type of mental short coming, one that Freud postulated we would possibly be able to move beyond as the human race matured in the same way that a child matures beyond the micromanagement of a parent. This definition nicely wraps itself in that all types of beliefs and rituals can be encompassed as neurotic behaviors unique to individuals, the solution to it simply being to get to a point where they are no longer needed, to…
