Under TQM, people are active contributors and are recognized for their creativity and intelligence. b) Quality – In traditional management, quality is adherence to internal specifications and standards. Inspection is required to control defects and there is no innovation. In TQM, quality is defined as products and services that go beyond the present needs and expectations…

The knowledge I’ve gained during my time in the Intermediate Leadership Experience course has made me realize that I am a Management by Exception-Passive leader. I think I’m a passive leader because after I let my subordinates know what the standard is and how I expect them to behave; I do little to help them improve or excel. I also know that I’ve failed to provide honest feedback in the early stages of negative behavior. This eventually led to my leadership realizing that standards were not…

legendary captain in the year 1996 by leading the company to a great achievement from bankruptcy in the industry (Lazonick, Mazzucato, & Tulum, 2013). Steve Jobs had been known as an abrasive and egoistic person with the autocratic and arrogant of management style (Allio, 2012). Jobs was fostered a culture of everyone sharing the same purpose and clear vision in the Apple Company. However, to evaluate the leadership style of Steve Jobs, the transactional and transformational leadership theory is…

OF MANAGEMENT : My understanding of management philosophy is more like a mission statement about myself and how I will apply it in managing a business entity or an organization. I will describe my management style to be one, that is sort of aggressive. I am very willing and able to get into details in order to for things to be done when necessary. I believe that I as a manager should provide direction, guidance, leadership, and also set an example to my subordinates or staff. My management…

as required, approve the system for operation, and deploy it. Finally, the fourth step is to monitor security controls to watch for security incidents and address them and review the environment for any changes that affect security. R6: The risk management frameworks compare to continuous quality improvement because they are both ingredients for creating and preserving secure systems. The Continuous Improvement process is equivalent to the frameworks by it making a suggestion to adjust and this…

simulation has definitely enhanced my personal skills within leadership and teamwork but I definitely feel this was not the result from the simulation alone. Since the team went for a more democratic style leadership, I was able to utilise 2 main management models I learnt about within this course one being the “Situational Leadership Model”. This was highlighted within my actions more so in the second simulation rather than the first and it defined my position within the team which depended on…

Change and conflict- implications for organisation’s and management Change: Work by Wanberg and Banas (1997) establishes attitudes towards change, change acceptance and positive views of organisational change are positively related to job satisfaction. Consequently, employees with lower organisational commitment often have greater stress- job relationships after organisational change than those with greater commitment.

the controlling function. In these moments we are learning of our errors and modifying part of the system of medical transportation and patient’s identification where some errors reduced the effectiveness of the organization. The four functions of management are not part of a process where we cannot go back and fixed. Many times when we find an error in the system or the service that we lend, we return to the base and we planning again. In other occasions we modify a little and we are more…

Theory X and Theory Y by Douglas McGregor, summarizes a difference between management styles in that Theory X is an authoritarian style which assumes employees are naturally unmotivated, and Theory Y is a participative style and assumes that employees are self-motivated and enjoy working with greater responsibility (Mindtools, n.d.). In my workplace, I am more partial to Theory Y. I think that unless personally observed, managers should not just assume that otherwise mature, responsible adults…

from client management is an essential factor for an effective audit committee (Cohen, et al., 2002a). Management can sometimes have some sort of say on the composition of the board of directors, from where the audit committee is formed. If this is the case, it can only be a negative for the firm and management should be educated as to the value of a truly independent audit committee (Cohen, et al., 2002a). Agency theory can be used to demonstrate how crucial independence is from management in…
