Definition The process of directing and coordinating tasks, both day to day and specific to the achievements of individual objectives, and involves both motivating staff and developing their potential or coaching them
11
Leadership & Success The success or failure of a business is dependent on an individual rather than a specific criterion. A managers ability to ‘lead’ will be greatly influenced and determined by experience, knowledge and most importantly their personal attributes and their ability to produce positive working environments

Informational Qualities Leaders should have the knowledge required of a person in their role. They should be able to: GGGGather the relevant information AAAAnalyse and understand the implications of information received DDDDisseminate (def-sort through) relevant information, and be able to communicate it clearly
16
Decision-making Qualities LLLLeaders are often called upon to make hard decisions. Good leaders take this responsibility seriously, striving to do what is best for the organisation. Good leaders do not shirk this responsibility, but rather try to be fair and just in making these decisions IIIIn addition, the choice of management style that is adopted and the ability to use a wide range of management skills, can also contribute to making a good leader

Management Styles Autocratic- a manager who rules with absolute authority Persuasive- a manager who endeavors to persuade employees and the decisions they have made are not only in the companies best interest, but theirs also Consultive- a manager who actively consults or seeks the opinion of the employees and whose opinions influence decisions Participative- a manager who is team focused, and generally incorporates the suggestions made by the employees into their decisions The four key management styles are:
25
Why that Management style? Why that Management style? The style of leadership a manager pursues will be influenced in part by: their nature (Shy, diplomatic, arrogant) the culture of the organisation (Lazy, sense of community & loyalty, immoral practices, all about the bottom line, humane, etc. ) the situation in which they find themselves. ( Change style to produce most effective outcome eg. If employee take advantage of consultative style & productivity starts to decline they might need to switch to a more persuasive or autocratic mix to get productivity going or vice versa)

CONTROLLING
27
Definition Controlling involves monitoring all management processes, including planning, leading and organising to ensure the realisation of organisational objectives
28
Attributes of controlling Controlling requires management to: SSSSet and establish bench marks for performance SSSSelect criteria or ways in which to evaluate pppperformance (incorporating KPI’s) MMMMeasure performance and compare it to forecast or planned objectives IIIIdentify where a performance gap exists, re- evaluate set goals and expectations and/or take corrective action in order to list performance.
29
What Must a Manager Control? The three main things a manager must control are: 1111. Human resources 2222. Financial resources 3333. Material resources
30
1. Human resources The human resource manager is considered to be the most valuable of all resources. Each individual will have a different level of experience, education and training and often a different task to perform within a team. Allocating tasks should be based on the employees experience skill etc. so as to ensure maximum control is maintained
31
Controlling Human Resources Controlling human resources requires: EEEEstablishing performance standards PPPProviding feedback MMMMeasuring performance TTTTaking action where required for all members of the team
32
Establishing Standards SSSShould be applied where key tasks critical to the success of an objective are involved. TTTThese standards are know as key performance indicators (KPI’s) TTTThese provide managers with performance targets and the opportunity to measure actual performance against them, both quantitative (against numeric data) and qualitative (against peoples opinions)
33
Feedback IIIImportance of honest, open and ongoing feedback cannot be overstated. IIIIt should be part of a managers routine IIIIt provides managers with a continuous means of controlling situations and employees with genuine comments about what was done well and where to improve. IIIInvolves ongoing performance appraisals where KPI’s are measured NNNNo feedback can result in a loss of control and irreversible damage.
34
2. Financial Resources TTTTo maintain financial control, managers should ensure a budget and record of expenditure is kept and is up to date and accurate at all times OOOOften there is more than one party within a business who controls financial resources. For example a department may be allocated a budget for which the department manager has control, but any expenditure over and above that budget may need to be approved by top-level management (The management director and in some cases the board)
35
3. Material resources MMMMaterial resources include plant and equipment. The task of maintaining these may be allocated to lower level or front-line managers; however, their importance should not be disregarded.
36
The four roles of management IIIIn reality the four roles of management are interrelated and independent. This means that in order to be an effective leader, managers must be able to Plan, Organise, Lead and Control their operations in synchronicity.
37
POLICY DEVELOPMENT Policies are high-level guidelines which follow the strategic direction of the organisation. They establish limits but do control the steps taken to achieve objectives
