Human Resource Management
Introduction
Leadership is a critical position that requires one to identify the manner of acquiring
power rather than relying solely on managing employees and tasks on the firm. The manner in
which power is utilized determines whether the project goals are promoted or undermined
(Brack, et al., 2015). Despite there being several ways of wielding power, their application and
effectiveness depend on the type of the project being managed.
Management Powers
Particularly, I prefer the reward power and the referent power to the other forms of
power. Current, most employees are learned and respond to every operation on the firm. The
analogy of brutality and coercion is currently outdated. Most importantly, human resources
demand compensation against their work.
Furthermore, more energy is wasted forcing the employing to perform unlike when
rewards are used to create a motive among the workers for better performance. Apart from
motivation, rewards have proven to be more essential in promoting good characters among the
employees. Additionally, rewards promote joy among the workers as they develop a feeling of
pride and achievement. Rewards are essential in developing self-esteem among the workers who
through success and pride are lured towards achieving hire successful results. Rewards have also
proven to have a significant effect on the completion of tasks assigned. Due to the sense of
competition against the task assigned among the employees, most of the assignments are likely
to be completed easily without supervision. Finally, rewards can be categorized at various levels
to promote the improvement of results in the workplace (Renard, 2017).Therefore, the reward
power is essential for my project at hand.

As often referred to as the cult of personality, the referent power is significant for my
project. The referent power refers to the ability for one to lured, attract and create loyalty with
the employees (Prescott, 2015). In this case, the leader creates a form of respect to the employee
which is very significant in human resource management particularly in the current generation
(Abudi, 2019). The employees are likely to respect a leader who has a good truck of record as a
result of success. In such a case, the leader gets an easier time to lead the magnitude as they are
motivated and have the due respect to be guided towards the achievement of the organizational
goals. The referent power is significant in my project because I can handle it accordingly by
promoting the best values towards the employees. Furthermore, employees feel motivated to give
their best performance when the leader exercises humility and morality.
Issues Circumnavigating Project Management
Apart from the powers available to the managers, this report looks at the four critical
issues that circumnavigate the management of projects (Sharma, Suryanarayana and
Samarthyam, 2015). Firstly, poorly defined goals predispose problems in project management.
The managers usually fail to acknowledge exactly their expectations from a particular project.
Ones the goals and objectives of the project are not clearly defined then it's automatic that the
project is doomed to fail. All businesses are likely to suffer provided that clarity and forethought
before initiation are missing. This problem can be solved through organization of kickoff
meeting and the use of planning software's prior to the starting of a project t to ensure that the
goals and objectives are clearly defined.
Secondly, most managers tend to set unrealistic deadlines for the achievement of the
predetermined goals and objectives. Usually, the managers present unrealistic expectations to the
clients and stakeholders which render the projects to a huge fall. A flip in the timelines of the
