For a philosophy of management, I believe that a manager should be lead by example; they should be the model of behavior that they expect from their employees. For instance, if the manager acts in a professional manner, the employees should follow suit. It would also be valuable for a manager to follow the action-centered leadership model, because a key to being an effective manager is being a successful leader. The action-centered leadership model has three main elements, which include the task at hand, the team, and the individual team members (action-centered leadership). The model also arranges manager responsibilities for each element, such as acknowledging each individual needs and specialties, stating the task and goal to the …show more content…
For example, the employees are aloud to talk to one another and engage in normal conversation so long as it does not affect their work. If interpersonal relations become overly social, it could affect their work and create arguments or other social workplace complications. Furthermore, if employees must work together as a team, there must be a common communication between them. They must also be respectful in each other’s opinions and ideas. Interpersonal relations should be engaging and beneficial to the workplace, not deconstructive. In my experience as an employee, I know what is accepted for interpersonal relations and how to behave responsibly and professionally in the …show more content…
That way one can ensure that they are making the correct decision; a decision that will be positive and help improve the situation and not have detrimental consequences. For instance, there is a six-step decision making process in that is commonly used in assisting managers in making business decisions. The process involves problem identification, data collection, solution generation, solution test, solution selection, and solution implementation (Baltzan, 2012). It is valuable process because it is covers every aspect of a problem and solution, and it is simple to follow. In addition, there is a concept called the OODA loop. The OODA loop includes a way to make a quick assessment and real time changes (Liebler, McConnell, 2008). The OODA loops is beneficial in assisting managers in making decisions because it includes observing (gathering facts), being orient, deciding (rapid decision), and taking action (Liebler, McConnel, 2008). These examples are just a few of the many that managers could use in decision-making. As a business manager I would follow these processes, and any others that may be effective. I would also make sure to have all the data/ facts, run tests, gather outside input, and then make my
Not all managers are leaders. There are managers that are not effective leaders, just as there are leaders that do not have a clue how to manage. Typically, a manager denotes a position whereas a leader can be someone who simply influences regardless of title or position. Warren Bennis, a pioneer in leadership studies explains that managers “do things right” and leaders “do the right thing” (Bennis, 1982). Managers have a fiduciary relationship normally requiring them to ensure the process or routine is maintained. Where managers produce
In our opinion, we should compare past results with new concept and filter out past failed ideas. We incorporate past innovations and early hypothesis testing. 3. Select, refine, design. After the two steps before, we should have historic solutions for components, map product solutions with Vendors, using past customer feedback to improve design.
The Manager is the person who ensures the whole team work within the organisations vision, mission and objectives and monitors the overall progress of achievement within the policies and procedures of the company. John Adair’s theory says it is best for the manager to balance the needs from each of the fields and maintain a balance. The three elements are, achieving the goal, the team performing the goal and the individual member of the group, this approach is called “Action Centred Leadership” and he believes if any one of the elements fail the team are more unlikely to
Relationships are an essential part of human life. Whether they are familial, amical or romantic they all are important for human development and growth. According Maslow’s Hierarchy of need, relationships also known as love and belonging is the third level of human needs, meaning that people naturally desire to be loved, to belong, and to be affiliated with others. Interpersonal relationships are vital to a long, happy life; in fact, Research has rather consistently found that positive or fulfilling face-to-face relationships are central in attaining and thereafter maintaining not only emotional health, but also physical well-being. (Swingle, 2015, p.158).
Of the several theories we have discussed involving commitment, I have taken a particular interest in M.P. Johnson’s Theory of Commitment as I feel it very effectively dissects the primary drives that reside behind one’s desire, or lack thereof, to remain committed in a relationship. In his theory, Johnson describes three kinds of perceived commitment that ultimately lead one to the decision to stay in their relationship. These three kinds of commitment discussed are personal, moral and structural commitment (Berscheid & Regan, 2005).
Every interpersonal relationship experiences some sort of conflict at some point in time. However, some people do not have the conflict management skills needed to work past relationship disputes. Unfortunately, relationship conflicts can sometimes erupt into a partner becoming physically abusive. “On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States” (“National”). Due to the increase of domestic physical abuse, it has become the premise of many pop culture songs. For example, “Ain’t So Easy” is a song about a man that has physically abused his partner. His partner has packed their bags and is on the verge of leaving him and his abusive ways behind. Once the pleading, the bartering of sweet nothings, and manipulations beings, hesitation to leave can set in, but the decision to leave still needs to be made.
Research Studies Relating to Interpersonal Relationships Psychologists as reasons why one individual is attracted to another have listed a number of factors. Surprisingly proximity is cited as a major component in the development of relationships. Festinger et al found in a study of married graduate students, that close friends who lived in the same building were twice as likely to be living on the same floor as living on another. All the graduate students had been assigned their housing randomly therefore this suggests that the frequency of meetings between individuals has a big effect on the relationship. Bossard study of marriages in Philidelphia supported this theory.
In my workplace setting, the ability to communication effectively is essential. I am conscious of the subtle differences between individuals and how they interact. This impacts on the individuals that use the service and how I respond to their needs. I will give examples;
One very important aspect of a great leader is to lead by example. Any person in a position to guide others cannot ask the team to do one thing and act in the complete opposite way. This is a sure way to show that the leader has a need to show power and quickly loose respect from those who should be learning from him or her. Being a role model is importan...

nterpersonal relationships in psychology is the study of attraction, matching, forming relationships, staying together, how to maintain a relationship and breaking up. Within this topic it looks at what factors affect the forming and maintenance of relationships. The important factors at the beginning of a relationship may change throughout.

A manager should have a set of guidelines or rules to keep in the back of his or her mind to keep everything running smoothly. According to there are fifty rules to be successful leader, but I will focus on what I feel are the top ten. I have seen them in action at and they have influenced how I would lead when I lead.
Decision making is a tough process especially if the issue on hand is complicated and the significance of the outcome has major consequences to the stakeholders. Decision making is a five step process: recognition of a situation that requires a decision; identification and development of alternative courses of action; evaluation of the alternatives; choice of one of the alternatives, and implementation of the selected course of action.
A manager should hold himself as a person of power who is still an equal of his work force. The job of the manager is not to order people around and push his ideas. A manager's job is to keep the work force unified and keep it working as a team. Most people in today’s society are power hungry and are only in it for them selves. They don’t realize that if everyone is successful you will be successful they will be to. So remember
