Blog #10 Business Management or Organizational Leadership


For many people the words Busniess Management or Organizational Leadership mean, "the overall organization and or coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve its defined objectives." "Management consists of the interlocking functions of creating corporate policy and organizing, planning, controlling, and directing an organization's resources in order to achieve the objectives of that policy." That's what I'm learning it to be. I am currently enrolled in
Glendale Community College (GCC) to get an associates degree in Business Management/Organizational Leadership. After I receive this degree, I'm going to transfer to Arizona State University (ASU)
and go on to get a bachelors degree. I am currently in my sophomore year. The term management as defined in my business management (MGT 175) book says, "is the attainment of organizational goals in an efficient and effective manner through planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling organizational resources."
 https://www.yourerc.com/blog/post/7-rising-trends-in-employee-training-and-development-in-2016.aspx, ..............for someone that doesn't understand what this means; basically it means that the manager or supervisor has the knowledge along with the skill sets to run, lead, and guide a group of individuals to finish and complete a business, organization, or corporations goals of staying in business and succeeding, https://learn.org/articles/What_Can_I_Do_with_a_Degree_in_Organizational_Management.html, this does not come easy though. For someone to be able to have the guiding, leading, teaching, showing, controlling, enforcing, and motivateing skills on a daily basis when leading employees to complete a business or corporations  objectives, goals, busniess plans, and strategies for that day and for every day to day operations; are exactly what managers and supervisors do,.......... I mean think about it............someone that oversees, controls, guides, and leads a billion-dollar Corporation(I use this type of example because of how enormous these corporations are) https://www.cnbc.com/video/2018/04/30/t-mobile-and-sprint-ceos-on-mega-merger.html obviously has to have the knowledge and skill set to be able to do so. These corporations spend millions of dollars searching internally for individuals they know have the experience and knowlage to fill the CEO position. These corporations use established firms to train these individuals in the Leadership trait theories to effectively run these same corporations. There are many different components, and I use the word components because like an engine; a business needs to efficiently and effectively run in perfect sequence to continue it's goals and objectives day to day. To effectively run a business or corporation there is much needed planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and leading employee's in the day to day goals, plans, and objectives of that business to stay successful.
There are many qualities and skills a business or corporation look for when looking for managers or supervisors called management fundamentals; having integrity, being industriousness, having the ability to get along with people, having the business knowledge, intelligence, education, and experience they need for the position, having leadership abilities when making sound or stress filled judgements or decisions, how they communicate, interact, and how flexible they are with others, their ability to plan, set, and complete the business, organization, or corporations objectives and goals.
All this is vital and crucial for these enormous corporations ; all the way down to the mom-and-pop businesses to be able to stay afloat with success and longevity. The knowledge and skill sets to be a good manager or organizational leader can be learned, and instilled in someone, and is exactly why theses corporations spend that money knowing the importance of it. To be able to manage and operate a local Target or Walmart is something I would like to do. A General Operation management salary ranges from $35k to $114k, the average being around $61k,  https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=General_%2F_Operations_Manager/Salary
 or even bigger like a regional manager/director, and manage a chain of Walmart's or Target's.  A Targets Executive Manager salary ranges from $45k to $145k, but the average is  $114k.
......... my dream's are big, my goal's are big, and my drive and will to make things happen are bigger!!

  1. Business managers do have a heavy load to carry. I always found that the best managers I have had are the ones who are really IN the business, not just overseeing it. Like you were saying, a workplace is like a n engine. If one of it's parts is not functioning properly, the rest starts to slowly fall apart with it. That is when the manager steps in and does what she or he needs to to fix that problem. Which a lot of the time means stepping in and helping that job get done efficiently. Someone who has never done the job and just oversees, typically has not had enough experience to step into another workers shoes and fulfill a task that is not being done properly... Anyways, sounds like you are a hard worker and that makes for a great boss! Good luck out there!
