Leadership types

There are different types of leaders; some are more comfortable dictating to their employees, while other prefer a more collaborative approach. It's always a good idea to tap into the creativity of your staff: if they have a great idea that may increase the revenue of the company, why not take advantage of that? On the other hand, facilitative leaders delegate most tasks to their subordinates, and will spend time giving their employees the tools necessary to excel in their positions. Company culture is dependent upon the specific leadership style of the executive in charge.

Significance of leadership

All successful organisations and businesses need effective leaders. The leadership of effective and well trained leaders is paramount to providing an agreed upon goal for the company's success. Leaders are invaluable when it comes to formulating and communicating new strategic directions, as well as communicating with and motivating employees to increase dedication to organizational goals. Ongoing leadership skills training is essential to making sure that leaders are on the right track.

Leadership focus

It used to be, that the leadership focus was on speed and flexibility. But in this constantly shifting landscape, where a global focus, digital necessity and social-political shifts are commonplace, leaders have to be agile and resilient. In a constantly changing business environment, being able to recover quickly and stay the course in the face of repeated challenges is crucial. CEOs who can achieve this are emotionally intelligent and can quickly come to grips with complex shifts and assist others in moving forward to achieve the win. They stay on top of what is going on within their industry through staying on top of what is current in business leadership philosophies and ideas. Blooming in spite of adversities is the truest leadership test.

Leadership & delegation

Any successful business leader recognises that delegation is essential. This should lead to building leaders for future enterprises. It is important that leaders are able to spot people who are on the rise to the next career trajectory and let them take the next step to management.

Business leadership considerations

Every business could benefit from an overview of its leadership style. Take, for example, a new CEO in an established company- they may benefit from altering their leadership style to be more in line with the current sensibility of the company (they may find leadership coaching helpful in this situation). When experiencing a decline, top executives may need to be replaced.

Functions of leadership

In order to lead their organisations, leaders need to wear many hats. They are tasked with training staff to fulfil their KPIs, as well as monitoring their progress and completion. An effective leader garners enthusiasm for the company while bringing out the best of their employees. Employees should also feel safe and supported in their environment.

This is a short article that talks a little about the history of division  of labor.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Division of labour , the separation of a work process into a number of tasks, with each task performed by a separate person or group of persons. It is most often applied to systems of mass production and is one of the basic organizing principles of the assembly line . Breaking down work into simple repetitive tasks eliminates unnecessary motion and limits the handling of different tools and parts. The consequent reduction in production time and the ability to replace craftsmen with lower-paid unskilled workers result in lower production costs and a less expensive final product. Contrary to popular belief, however, division of labour does not necessarily lead to a decrease in skills-known as proletarianization-among the working population. The Scottish economist Adam Smith saw this splitting of tasks as a key to economic progress by providing a cheaper and more efficient means of producing goods.

The French scholar Émile Durkheim first used the phrase division of labour in a sociological sense in his discussion of social evolution. Rather than viewing division of labour as a consequence of a desire for material abundance, Durkheim stated that specialization arose from changes in social structure caused by an assumed natural increase in the size and density of population and a corresponding increase in competition for survival. Division of labour functioned to keep societies from breaking apart under these conditions.

Organization of work may have begun before the evolution of Homo sapiens. Along with tools, a more complex brain structure, and linguistic communication, the division of labour (job specialization) may have been responsible for starting the human conquest of nature and differentiating human beings from other animal species.

The intensive specialization in industrial societies-the refinement and simplification of tasks (especially associated with a machine technology) so that a worker often produces only a small part of a particular commodity-is not usually found in nonindustrialized societies. There is rarely a division of labour within an industry in nonliterate communities, except perhaps for the production of larger goods (such as houses or canoes); in these cases the division is often a temporary one, and each worker is competent to perform other phases of the task. There may be some specialization in types of products (e.g., one worker may produce pottery for religious uses; another, pottery for ordinary uses), but each worker usually performs all steps of the process.

A division of labour based on sex appears to be universal, but the form that this takes varies widely across cultures. Divisions on the basis of age, clan affiliation, hereditary position, or guild membership, as well as regional and craft specialization, are also found.

Tips for Better Decision Making in the Workplace

# data[].attributes.body
This short article gives you 10 tips on how to better your decision making process.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Through our years of teaching SURE-Fire Meetings, we've discovered how valuable it is for organizations to have a thoughtful approach to making decisions. Here are ten tips.

1. Get perspective on how important and urgent a decision it is. Most of us live in a rushed work world. Every decision has got to get made as soon as possible. Really? Step away and check out how important, and how urgent, a decision really is.

2. Consider a range of possible decision-making options. Any of the following options are perfectly valid, depending on the nature of the decision and people involved. For example: single-person decides, subgroup decides, vote is used, consensus is sought.

3. When seeking consensus, define what you mean up front. For example, you might continue to explore and debate until everyone is fully supportive of the final decision, regardless of the time spent on the process. Or, you might seek consensus for a defined period of time after which another decision-making option gets used.

4. Get clear on the current situation that calls for a decision. For example, if you're going to decide on a new client survey form, make sure everyone involved is clear about the current form, how its been used, the challenges with it, etc.

5. Include the right people in the process. It's a problem when the only people charged with making a decision are doing so for political reason, or by default. Think through who would be the best people to involve in the decision.

6. Explain whether people have consultative or decisive voice. When you get people involved, let them know if you want them to be part of the final decision (decisive voice), or if you are inviting their consultative voice (i.e. their opinion, their suggestions, their perspective).

7. Make all the data available and know that's never all of it. Get all the data at hand to help inform a decision. If you're stuck, you need more. And, remember data includes people's fears, wishes, sense of security etc. It is all data and all plays into a decision.

8. Estimate when a decision will be made and let people know that in advance. If a decision gets delayed for whatever reason, give people an update. When the decision is made, make sure everyone knows.

9. Expect and embrace struggle. Sam Kaner offers a great model for participatory decision-making, recognizing the inevitable "groan zone" of the process. We prefer to call it the "growth" zone but, either way, it ain't easy but it is valuable.

10. Check out some great resources on the topic including the Heath brothers' book Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work, 2013.

Last night there was a huge party at the New York Stock Exchange honoring the top 25 multinational corporations (where 40% of a company's workforce is stationed outside its headquarters).

The event was put on by the Great Place to Work Institute, which determined the list by surveying 2.5 million employees from more than 5,500 companies worldwide.

Employees were asked about workplace culture, and how much faith they have in their company.

Guess who's No. 1?
Great Place to Work determined rankings based on the average score from surveys sent to employees. Countries must be mentioned on lists from at least five countries to be considered a best multinational company.
