Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

Pulmonary contusion (PC) is a common consequence of blunt trauma to the chest. PC occurs in 30-75% of cases of chest trauma, and in many cases this is further complicated by severe bone injuries of the chest wall.

Description of Wheatley’s Essay

Margaret Wheatley’s Essay “Innovation Means Relying on Everyone’s Creativity” has two central points guiding a wealth of practical knowledge on organizational leadership gained through her experiences. The first is that organizations act in the same way as living organism. The whole of the organization can be seen as a species that will change according to alterations to environmental conditions. The second part of her thesis is “People only support what they create” (Wheatley, 2001). This means that in order to get support for new policies or changes to the organization, everyone within the organization must play a role in enacting ...

There are four specific types of communication flows that McPhee and Zaug (2000,2009) have described. The authors believe that the four communication flows are in fact, what organizations are all about. This is because organizations cater to four different kinds of audiences, so communicating with all of these is necessary. The first communication flow is the maintenance of relationships with members through membership related negotiations. The second communication flow is self structuring, i.e. how organizations act as formally controlled entities. The third communication flow is activity coordination. The last communication flow is institutional positioning. (McPhee & Zaug, 2000)

Introduction

Leadership and motivation are concepts that are inherent in any achievement of desired goals. Every individual or organization with personal or corporate objectives respectively needs to apply leadership and motivation concepts. Leadership goes hand in hand with the amount of influence that a given person can impact on his followers. The ability to convince followers towards a common goal determines a leader’s performance. In my opinion, motivation is the basis for all achievements in all aspects. Leadership influences the performance of any individual or organization. In addition, it influences how parties involved in an organization’s activities are motivated towards the ...

Leadership Theories
Leadership is a process that a group or an individual impacts a group of individuals to reach a certain or common goal (Parent et. al., n.d.). According to Parent et. al., (n.d.) the literature concerning leadership has transformed from the trait or behavioral approach to the transformational. This change also includes the transactional and charismatic leadership approaches (Parent et. al., n.d.).
According to Kouzes & Posner (2007), on the other hand, Leadership is a chance that can occur at any place or any time. It may happen in a huge or small house, the mall, the school, or in any group. This ...

Market condition is one of the driving variables proposed by Savitch and Kantor (2002). The driving variables offer cities and city leaders leverage when negotiating with businesses for development. Market condition variable is determined by the resources, jobs, and investment initiatives in the city.

Article summary: Does servant leadership foster creativity and innovation? A multi-level mediation study of identification and prototypicality

The main goal of the multi-level study conducted by Yoshida D.T. et al. (2013) was to assess how servant leadership influences employee creativity and team innovation simultaneously. Businesses often gain their competitive advantage through employees that come up with creative, innovative ideas and work as a team to implement them. However, although these factors are highly interdependent, prior researches only focused on either creativity or innovation. No fundamental attempts were made to study how certain leadership behaviors simultaneously affect these two aspects on different levels. Former researches examined how transformational leadership or leader-member relationship influenced employee creativity. As it was ...

According to ‘Guide to Management’ by Allan Murray from The Wall Street Journal, he identifies the leadership categorized under the main functions of management.

It is from the time given that one receives. This aligns to the act of handling staff at their best hence getting a similar reciprocation. "Leadership is not like a suit you try it on, but rather something you adapt according ...

Summary
This sort of comparison also serves as a benchmarking tool. Due to the gap created, it is imperative to ascertain that the club is putting necessary efforts while establishing budget commitments to attaining the new desired level. Use of the symbolic automobiles to elucidate the strategic mission and vision statement of the club will result in a more modest agreement with regards to the clubs’ positioning after members of the board evaluate the projected costs. This gap directs members of the club to appraise its actual status rather than the ideal, and it demands for constructive participation by members ...

Although both studies are informative, the qualitative information provided by Saint et al. (2010) appears to be more difficult to understand than the quantitative information provided by Daud-Gallotti et al. (2012), most likely because of the differences in the nature of the data. Because qualitative information contains descriptive personal opinions from the participants, I find it difficult to use it for determining clinical practices based on that information. For example, it is mentioned that successful leaders were inspirational, but that does not provide the reader with sufficient guidelines to become inspirational.
Quantitative information appears to be more objective, ...

Introduction and business situation

Introduction

It is often forgotten that businesses are there to serve people.

Purpose

The 2008 recession is a prime example of how a few corrupt people at the top can lead the entire world into trouble. The actions of those leading the financial services represented the complete opposite of what an ethical ...

Nwando Achebe gives cases of women in Africa who have been able to occupy a variety of leadership roles. She states that traditionally women mainly held power due to their relationship with the particular rulers especially as mothers, sisters or daughter to the rulers. She moves ahead and illustrates his assertion by giving examples of women who were guided by great leaders who in most cases were their close relatives. For instance Ahebi Ugbabe, among the Igbo, assumed royal powers and dressed in the king’s attire pending the installation of the next ruler (Lindsay, Lisa & Miescher, 53). This illustrates ...

Leadership entails a social process where an individual commanding a group enlists the help of his/her subordinates to accomplish a given objective.

Debt Level vs GDP Growth

There is no doubt that the relationship between economic growth and debt levels is one of the most controversial topics that raise debates in discussions. It also generates varied interpretations among economic analysts and policymakers. The article structure in my opinion is essential as it provides arguments against previous conclusions and the authors' reasons to concede or not agree. Robert Pollin and Michael Ash (2012) have challenged previous findings by Rogoff and Reinhart on account of the methodology, omission and coding error. While Rogoff and Reinhart (2010) in their research concluded that, the average growth falls during periods when ...
