Leadership & Management
Introduction
The report examined management and leadership to ensure that the project was completed on schedule. Theories
of management and leadership styles have been explained in part through the lens of operational management. To
do this, I've chosen to work in a small space. Satellite manufacturer and transportation service provider
headquartered in California, SpaceX is best known for the Falcon 9 rocket it has developed. When Elon Musk
founded SpaceX in 2002, he wanted to make it possible for humans to colonize Mars by decreasing the cost of
space travel. This includes SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft, Starlink communications satellites, and Falcon 9
and Falcon Heavy rockets.
LEARNING OUTCOME 1
MANAGER
A manager's role in a corporate environment is often considered. Thus, the management function can be used in a
wide variety of contexts. Task completion on schedule and on a budget is the responsibility of management.
Human and material resources are also typically part of his responsibilities (physical or economic resources,
among others). Carry out duties that he has been assigned; he must use all of the resources at his disposal.
Purchasing and disposing of resources are mainly in the hands of management in most organizations. They can
hire or fire employees, request supplies and equipment, and organize teams based on the project's needs. To
become a manager, you need to have a particular amount of education, experience, and training. Managers in an
organization can be classified as either operational, tactical, or strategic based on the nature of their duties
(Morgan, 2021)..

Leadership & Management
What you've learned in your job or education that is applicable to your current position is referred to as a hard
skill. For example:
Your familiarity with a POS may be based on your previous experience working in the food service or retail
sectors.
To be able to use Microsoft Excel, one must have taken an accounting course.
With some practise, you might be able to converse fluently in another language.
For each industry, there are specific skills that are required before one can begin working in the field. For
example, if you want to be an architect, you'll need to know how to use drafting software like AutoCAD. National
Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) requires a licence as well (NCARB). The NCARB
requires that architects pass a series of exams, including the Architectural Registration Examination, before they
may become members (ARE)
Prerequisites for a successful career can be found in many other fields. Others may be able to provide on-the-job
training for certain technical abilities.
Check out Career Paths to see what skills businesses are looking for in a specific role.
Soft Skill
Personal habits and traits that impact how you work both on your own as well as in a team are known as soft
skills. When it comes to soft skills, communication is a sought-after quality. In addition, these qualities include
dependability as well as good teamwork and active listening...
As you search for a new job, interpersonal skills are essential. Soft skills are just as vital as hard skills in the
office if you want to create an environment where your teammates can be productive while having fun. As a
result, companies increasingly want employees who possess both soft and hard skills. The difficulty of learning

soft skills may make certain firms favor those with a more technical background over those with a strong set of
soft skills.
If you're looking for a job in HR, you may not be aware with the various data analysis tools available. An
applicant's soft skills (e.g., openness and communication) can assist them get the job over someone who has better
hard abilities but lacks the same level of soft skills.
LEADERS:
There have been many violent and destructive leaders throughout history who could not lead others. Whether or if
it is still a symbol of leadership. In my mind, leaders are people who go above and beyond their duties. Make a
difference in the lives of others and be motivated by the right reasons.
To get a group of people moving in the correct direction, you need a visionary and a motivator. By prioritizing the
interests of others, leaders can nevertheless attain their own objectives. No two people must have followed a
similar path to reach the top. There will be a greater variety of perspectives represented in the next generation of
leaders. Of course, various people will see things differently. To be effective, organizations must have a common
understanding of leadership (Morgan, 2021).
LEADERSHIP: CONCEPTS AND METHODS
Over the years, numerous research on leadership has yielded multiple hypotheses. Philosophers, academics, and
cognitive experts have all proposed theories regarding creating a leader. Individuals can learn how to improve
their leadership abilities by applying these notions. For this reason, every manager should be familiar with the
most significant leadership theories, as detailed below.
Constraints Theory
According to this belief, there is no "one size fits all" method to leadership. Instead, to make the best decision in
each situation, a leader needs to consider all possible factors that could play a role. "Effective leadership is about
