One critical way to move people is to develop a leadership style which has room to change depending on the situation. Because vision works on multiple levels; the individual, department, division, and organization as a whole, the need to inspire people on all levels requires the personal development of a leadership style. Moreover, the style should fit and change with the people who connect with the leader on any given level.Part one:Read the material for week one and .homeworkminutes.com/question/view/77936/UMUC-BMGT485-week-2-discussion#”>complete the following assignments.Take the leadership style assessment in the Kent article and determine what your current style is..kent.ac.uk/careers/sk/leadership.htm”>How to Find Out Your Style of LeadershipEvaluate your results and determine how you can change or improve your style to fit the successful 21st leadership style.

For those situations where your style is not a good fit suggest how you would handle the situation. For example would you get someone else to handle the situation? Adapt to a new style?LA2 Main Posts Due Thursday, Responses comments due by SaturdayYou are the owner of a small company that is looking to expand its shipping and logistics department. You have developed a new Internet line which is taking off and you have several large orders to fill. You wish to hire a manager for the department who is experienced with international shipping. You currently have two other managers Joan and Fritz that handle order fulfillment and packaging. You have envisioned a straight line team process with all managers having equal decision making authority within the team. The shipping team must work together well. Joans department is good at getting the orders together while Fritz is still struggling with getting the packing department to work with him. The new manager has to act as team leader and get things working smoothly from beginning of the order to delivery.Explain what characteristics your new employee should have. Describe the characteristics the new manager should possess and why. Address the role and characteristics of the 21st century manager and leader, how they work together and how they are different.week 3.homeworkminutes.com/question/view/79129/UMUC-BMGT485-week-3-discussion#”>reading assignments look for the skills that build trust so that you can apply them in your project.Theme one is the need for a leader to build trust within an organization. It is the key to creating followers and moving people forward.Joe is the Vice-President of Hyperlink Systems. His plant produces circuit boards that are used in Nokia cell phones and IBM computers. Hyperlink is caught in a competitive pricing squeeze, so he hired a consultant to study the production department. After the consultants recommendations were in and Joe evaluated the results he spoke with plant manager Sue Harris. Harris, asked that the consultants recommendations be implemented immediately. She thought that total production would increase right away. Weekly production goals were set higher than ever. Joe worried that in her zealous approach to implementation Harris didnt take into account the time required to learn new procedures, and that plant workers would be under great pressure to make what may be unrealistic goals. He vocalized this to Harris who assured him that it would work. That her employees could see the vision. However, anxious to empower Sue to make her own decisions, Joe did not act on his concerns. He did watch things and soon realized that his fears were not unfounded. A handful of workers resisted the new work methods because they felt they could produce more circuit boards using the old methods. While most workers have changed to the new methods, their productivity has not increased. Even after a month, many workers think the old ways are more efficient, faster, and more productive. The numbers for production had not changed. They were now facing the beginning of the second month with the new methods and a very split workforce.Today, a delegation has come to Joes office with concern that the new goals and procedures are not working and the Sue Harris is making them change for the worse. She claims, they report that they are not using the new methods correctly and this is why the productivity is not increasing. The group says that the she is not trusting them to do the .homeworkminutes.com/question/view/79129/UMUC-BMGT485-week-3-discussion#”>job. They also say that they do not want her to know that they went over head by coming to you. They are afraid it will make things worse.Joe has a couple of other concerns with Harris. Joe recently spoke with another colleague, John, who was complaining about Sues lack of dependability. She had asked John to attend an operations conference, and at the last minute sent another supervisor instead, without any explanation. She has made other promises of supplies and equipment to his section, and then never followed through. Joe thinks Sue makes promises she cant keep probably out of desire to please. The end result is that she acts too quickly without adequate implementation and follow-up. Joe can see that she is developing trust issues right and left. Worse yet he feels that if he doesnt do something about things soon people will not think him trustworthy.Reading the theme material for the week what would you suggest Joe do to protect his relationship with Susan and her staff? Include in your answer a description of what trust means to a leader, how it creates followers, and how you might change the structure and culture of the company to facilitate the repair of any trust issues.
