This week, we look at leadership from the manager\u2019s perspective and explore the differences from looking at leadership from a leader\u2019s perspective. Managers focus on process, procedure, and implementation of the organization\u2019s purpose. A manager\u2019s perspective is about getting the job done and keeping stability. The leader\u2019s mindset is about change and moving workers toward the organization\u2019s vision. The area of overlap comes in terms of the need to use \u201csoft or people skills\u201d to get their job done. It is said that a manager motivates while a leader empowers. In the following five quotes each leader is commenting on the perspective of a manager in an organization as opposed to a leader. \u00b7 Define the difference between a manager\u2019s mindset and a leader\u2019s mindset. \u00b7 Using the readings for the week, reflect and explain the meaning of each quote. and how each quote relates to a manager\u2019s or leader\u2019s mindset. \u201cManagement is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.\u201d Peter Drucker \u201cLeadership is working with goals and vision; management is working with objectives.\u201d Russell Honore \u201cWhen a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.\u201d Warren Buffett \u201cGood management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.\u201d Paul Hawken \u201cManagement is nothing more than motivating other people.\u201d Lee Iacocca Your response should be no less than 400 words and reference at least two academic resources. You must complete both learning activities for this week. Learning Activity 2 \u2013 Theme 2 The manager must be able to solve problems, communicate, and lead teams toward the completion of a task. You are the manager of the northern branch of the Laurel City Bowling Alleys. The owner, Jill Espy, has 4 other bowling alleys around town. The average employee assigned to the concession stand of all the Laurel City Bowling Alleys lasts approximately 3 years. However, in your branch, the average employee lasts only 8 months. Jill is concerned about the lack of retention of concession employees especially since training new employees is costly to the company and this high turnover is costing her money that could be better spent elsewhere. You have talked with your current concession staff and have learned that pay and scheduling may have some effect on the turnover rate. Employees feel that the pay is low and the scheduling is erratic making it difficult to make plans outside of work. You know that employees do not benefit from pay raises because they tend to leave before being at the alleys for a year. One worker indicated that many of the workers do not know how to handle difficult customers. It makes them not want to come to work. At the time, the focus seems to be on getting the job done rather on customer service. \u00b7 Using the employee\u2019s feedback and other facts from the case scenario, what ideas should you consider motivating or changing employee morale that would encourage employees to stay longer in the job? Your response should be no less than 400 words and reference at least two academic resources.
