PART 2
Part A
The PowerPoint is been made to highlight the importance of leaders and managers in an organization. The role played by leaders and managers in different situations. The points whose main focus is made in presentations are the cultural differences faced by them in organizations. As it is very obvious that there are different types of people in an organization who all have different cultures, and how that impact the role of leaders and managers is highlighted in the PowerPoint. The study concludes that the role of leader is a process through which they influence the employees in business and motivate them to work hard so that the goals of the organization can be achieved. The role of a manager is to control and administer the business environment, irrespective of its nature, type, size, and structure (Amanchukwu, Stanley, and Ololube, 2015).
The presentation highlighted the difference between leaders and managers. The roles and characteristics of them and how they make effort in making the organization successful. Further, the study shows the leadership traits which defines that the leader is effective or not. This traits shows few things such as, It shows that the leader is intelligent or not. It shows that leader is enough capable to take best decisions for the organisation. But this trait it is shown that the leaders has self confidence or not as if there is lack of self confidence effective decisions can not taken by the leader. The leader mus be determinant towards work so that all the work are performed in an desired time leading an organisation to success. As organisation can not be succeed when the leader himself is not dedicated towards the work (Renz and Herman, 2016).
It is the duty of the leader to motivate the employees to achieve the goals as when leaders himself is not determinant they can not motivate the employees. Further it concludes that the leader must be honest towards the job role. As when they are honest all employees will trust them and it becomes easier for an organisation to achieve its goals. Leaders must be social so that they can get better ideas or making business successful. They must have good nature so that all people likes to work with them and thus, it assist the organisation in achieving its productivity.
The report highlight about big five personality traits which reflects the personality of leaders. AS in this trait first step is that leaders must have open nature as they should have an open mind and listen to the sayings of people (Willis, Clarke and O'Connor, 2017) . Through this skills they can have better and innovative ideas for making business successful. The second step says that the administrator must be organised, systematic and punctual, as when leader is punctual all the activities carried out by them will be completed on time. Being organised assist the organisation in performing day to day role in an effective manner. This step says that leaders must be outgoing and talkative, social. As through this they can very well communicate with other persons, assist them in gathering new ideas for improving their leadership style. Fourth step says that leaders must be tolerable, sensitive and trusting, as through this they can very well perform their job roles (Renz and Herman, 2016). As some times situation arises and becomes very difficult to tolerate so through this skill they can very well control themselves. Last personality trait according to this approach is Neuroticism, this shows that leaders are irritable or moody. This traits must not be present in leaders as through this employee w ill not feel happy, thus impact the performance of organisation in negative way.
