L & MD 2
Leadership and management development are an important concept and are interrelated
with each other as better leadership roles can lead to effective management in the organization.
Leadership is the focus on the vision, and it also involves the element of building trust and
management is operational and is focused on goal achievement. Leadership development is an
activity that develops the quality of leadership in an individual. Leadership development
programs help a business to grow more as compare to management development programs.
Leadership Development is conducted by an organization to develop the leadership abilities and
attitudes of individuals. Leadership development will make the Garvey group successful by
implementing programs for the leaders as it will motivate the leaders to perform their tasks
effectively and efficiently. Garvey group can identify the needs of the leadership development
for increasing performance management. A business needs leadership and management
development for achieving success. Leadership development is when leadership skills are
distinguished with leadership traits. Leadership skills are the techniques in which leaders apply
for the growth of the group and to achieve common goals. Leaders and managers are those who
help in achieving the goals of the business. In comparing, managers and leaders, leaders play a
vital role in achieving the success of the business (Avolia and Gardner, 2005). Leaders are those
who set the direction of the organization. They motivate and inspire the employees and staff of
the organization to achieve the company’s vision.
In the Garvey group, leadership development can motivate the leaders to work and help
the employees to achieve the objectives of the organization. It is important in business to have
leadership skills in employees and it helps in decision making. Management development is
managing the various aspects of business and it can be people and issues related to people where
leadership is the ability to inspire people to achieve a vision (Bârgău, 2015). Roles played by the
manager are to guide and direct the team to achieve the larger goal of the business where leaders
are a motivator as well as a visionary who helps in setting the objectives. Garvey group can
adopt leadership development as it will help the company grow and generate more revenue.
Management development is guiding the employees and employees are motivated by the
leadership development. Employees need motivation for doing tasks at the right time.
Management development helps employees to learn about doing the right things and leadership
development helps employees to do things right. Management development is all about
minimizing the risk of the business and leadership development will give the learning of taking

L & MD 3
risks in the business (Burgoyne, et al, 2004). Management development learning is for the short
term to achieve the set objective and leadership development, although a long term development
will help employees in the future. Leadership development turns the employees into the
followers and management turns the employees into the subordinates (Storey, 2004). In every
situation, leaders take the courage to handle the various situation for solving the problems and
issues faced by the employees. Managers always want to keep employees safe in every situation;
which includes making safe moves.
In order to make the vision come alive in organizational stakeholders, leaders align the inputs
and efforts in partners, stockholders, clients, and employees. Leaders help in creating a culture in
business and bring the vision of life. Managers set the vision of leaders within the set budget and
the resources which are allocated (Bush, 2008). For executing the vision leaders create and
manage a team and also solve the various operational problems that employees may have.
Leadership Development programs help the enterprise in change management and developing
sustainable and high-performing teams that help in benefiting the organization. The management
development improves the core competencies of the business by delegating the authorities
appropriately and encouraging the effective teams and enhancing the communication and helps
in managing the conflict in the team. In regards to the Garvey Group, Leadership Development
will help in making a successful business. Managers lay down the structure of the business and
delegate the authority and responsibility to the individual who will perform the job and leaders
are those who perform those activities and provide the direction by developing the vision of the
organization and communicate them to employees and they also inspire them to achieve the
objective (Carbery and Garavan, 2007).
Management Development includes the focus on planning, organizing, staffing, directing and
controlling while Leadership Development helps in the functioning of management. Leaders
focus on building good relationships with employees and help them in teamwork and motivate
them to achieve their goals.
For successful Leadership Development, there are key components that take the initiative in
leadership development for the success in Garvey group. For development, leaders who are
actively engaged in giving effective reports should be given the proper learning and priority for
the learning and development in the group. The on-going coaching can be provided to

L & MD 4
individuals who hold effective reports and are accountable for the application of a job (Day,
2000). Leadership development in Garvey group can be enhanced by giving the combination of
classroom development by the instructor and online leadership program helps the leaders to build
their new skills of leadership. It is necessary to scale the learning so it will help the team in
growth.
The various effective leadership activities are involved in the development like self-confidence,
clarity in vision, maintaining the balance between goals and spiritual life and retain for Self-
esteem. Leaders have clarity in their vision and thoughts as leaders set their vision on their own
for achieving the objective and managers follow the instructions which are given to them from
upper management to follow the rules and regulations and already established methods for
completing the task and leaders find the best effective method to complete the task in an
effective manner.

Leadership Theories in Leadership Development
Leadership theories help leaders in developing their skills in the organization. For every group, a
leader is crucial for team success. Leaders help the team run smoothly with the abilities and
skills and leaders motivate employees to achieve the business objectives. In regards to the
Garvey group the company can hire leaders who are born leaders or can motivate the employees
to make the effective use of the skills which are inherent to them. It is essential for the
development of the group to motivate employees to use their skills in leading the team. The
leadership theories can be maintained in the organization to maintain the leadership process and
to guide the employees so that they become dedicated to the work and improve the growth of the
organization. The theories of leadership help in developing the systems and helps in making the
process of the business (Amanchukwu, et al, 2015). The Garvey group leaders can use the
behavioural theory so that they can focus on the particular behaviour and actions of the
employees. It helps in maintaining effective leadership in the business and also improves
employee management. It also helps in learning many skills and fulfilling the needs of
individuals. Technical skill in leadership helps an individual to deal with the technical situation
easily.
For the development of leadership, leadership theories play a crucial role in business.
Behavioural theories help in analysing the behaviour and help in improving the behaviour of the
employees (Garrick, 2012). Great Man theory of leadership states that the leaders are born with
the skills and abilities in them to lead the team. The skills can be charisma, intellect, confidence,
social skills and communication skills. It is inherent in employee to lead the team with the
leadership skills. When needed the leaders as heroic, mythic and destined to rise. It is suggested
that people cannot learn leadership skills on how to become strong leaders. This theory of
leadership is mainly based on male-only and in the Garvey group it is not much used by the
leaders.
Trait theory is also the main theory that states that every leader has different characteristics even
they are successful or unsuccessful. This theory helps in identifying the effective leadership
skills of an individual. Leaders must have the ability to deal with the team so it requires the
various traits and abilities like good personality, intellectual ability, and leaders must take
initiative, willingness to accept responsibility and should be fair in making decisions for the

L & MD 6
team. It is very helpful in implementing effective leadership in business growth and achieves the
objectives. It helps in increasing the potential of leaders for leading the team effectively. It helps
in identifying the leader's characteristics and can compare with the other people of the
organization (Buller and McEvoy, 2012). It helps in increasing and maximizing the strength in
the organization by using the trait theory. For the successful leadership, there are several traits
that help with positive implication are integrity, flexibility, self-confidence, emotional maturity
and many more.
Leadership theories are very useful for leadership improvement in the business. Contingency
theory is one of the best theories of leadership which helps in improving the characteristics of
leaders and also helps in determining the style of leadership and it is used in every situation of
the business. Contingency theory helps in maintaining the balance in leadership variables like
traits and behaviour or the employees (Katou, 2008). In the Garvey group, this theory can help in
managing the different situations and can help in reducing the complexities in the business. In
this theory, there is no particular leadership style that is suitable in all situations. The situational
theory is also an important theory for leadership development in the organization (Ulrich, et al,
2012). It states that leadership depends on the situation of the organization. The success of
leaders depends on the number of variables like leaders preferred style, their capabilities, and
behaviours of the followers and their aspects of the situations. In the Garvey Group, Path-Goal
theory can be adopted by the leaders as the leaders clarify the paths to subordinates of their
various goals of interest. Goals may include a promotion, a good work environment, and
accomplishment senses. The opportunity for employees can be achieved by job satisfaction, high
work effort and acceptance of leader. It helps the effective leader to make a connection between
organizational goals and subordinates goals (Dartey-Baah, 2015). Leaders adjust their behaviour
according to the situations and they set the work according to the requirements. The situation can
be the nature of the task, work environment and subordinate attributes which can be directive,
supportive, and participative. Leadership in an organization benefits in increasing the profits and
productivity and overall performance of the business. The Garvey group has many situation and
circumstances which can be managed with effective leadership and can improve the overall
performance of the business (Henry, et al, 2015). Leadership has a backbone of leadership
theories and it is essential to recognize the leadership styles and theories for the development in
the business. Leadership theories help in increasing the leader's quality and behaviour towards

L & MD 7
the work. For improving and taking effective decisions in business, effective leadership theories
can be implemented in the business.
Effective Leadership Development by HR professionals
For effective leadership development, it is important for HR professionals to work with others in
a team. The responsibility of an HR professional is to ensure that the organization has the right
candidate in the right leadership roles. For the effective leadership development, the HR
professional of Garvey group should make the business strategies to be followed. In the Garvey
group, HR professionals are preparing the recruitment and training plan annually and is planned
by measuring the sale and profitability of the business. It is important for HR professionals to
implement the work process for leadership development (Elci, et al, 2012). It requires the proper
work and management in the business as HR professionals play a significant role in leadership
expansion in business. HR professionals help in motivating and encouraging employees for
better work performance. The human resource performs numerous functions to make an
organization effective and to develop the overall process of the business. HR professionals must
adopt techniques for promoting and motivating employees to perform effectively and efficiently.
It is important to maintain an effective work environment and culture by developing a better
workforce for the employees and organization (Koryak, et al, 2015).
HR professional's key role is to hire the right people for the performance of leadership roles at all
levels of the organization. It is important to focus on five areas that help in maintaining
leadership development in the organization (Shekari and Nikooparvar, 2012). The key areas are
job architecture, incumbent assessment, performance definition, recognition for success and
building leadership capacity. HR professionals should work in a team to improve the
performance of the employees. It is important for HR to identify the areas of development of
existing employees and inspire them to improve their skills by proving training and learning
programs as the HR department is responsible for the development of the leaders. It is important
to encourage and empower the staff of the business to make them work better (Brown and
Duguid, 2001). For the leadership development, HR can provide the coaching, training, and
opportunity to them to engage and motivate them to work in a team with their leader. HR
professionals are those who encourage leaders to advocate for their employees and helps leaders
to work in the best possible way. The goals of HR professionals are to align the right people with

L & MD 8
the right position and role and it will happen when HR professionals work well in a team.
Leadership development is important for the growth of the company. HR plays a major role in
leadership development as they have a real impact on developing leaders.
HR professionals can work for the betterment of the employees and they can work in a team to
increase the employee's capabilities by bringing effective strategies in the organization. The
process of the organization is managed by the HR department so it is important to manage the
process of each department and their leaders to perform better in the organization. It is vital for
HR to know the concept and strategies to be adopted in the organization. HR professionals are
responsible for the overall development of the business (Donate and de Pablo, 2015). HR
professionals can focus on the monetary rewards for the employees to motivate them and satisfy
them by fulfilling the needs and it can make the employees perform better. HR professionals can
help in increasing the productivity of the business by focusing on the activities which are
performed by the employees. Leadership development is an interactive process that starts with
the learning of new skills and gaining experience by applying those abilities and skills in
business. In a group, HR should conduct the L&D session for the employees to analyse and
develop the new skills in them. It is important to evaluate and recognize the impact of the actions
and learning skills of the employees. It will be an opportunity for employees also to learn and
grow not only for the present but for the future also (Shiri, 2012). Leadership development has a
bigger effect on the success of the organization. The organization focuses on developing leaders
from all levels of the organization.
Leadership and management development are an important part of the business to attain the
objectives and aims of the organization. In Garvey group, the leaders are an important source for
the success of the business. HR professionals need to adopt the techniques to develop the overall
performance of the organization (Delmotte, et. al., 2012). Proper communication must be done
by the HR professionals with other departments as it will help in understanding the needs and
requirements of the employees. There should be good communication to understand the different
situations and the requirements of the skills and abilities required for performing the tasks
effectively and efficiently. It is important for leaders to communicate with HR professionals to
understand the behaviour of the employees. To manage the workforce and their capabilities it is
important for HR professionals to work with others (Lussier and Achua, 2015). To make the

L & MD 9
business strong, the hiring of employees must be done accurately by the HR as workforces are
the assets of the organization and developing of skills can make the effective use of the
employees in the organization. HR professionals must motivate the leaders to achieve the goals
easily and they must help them by motivation. To ensure effective leadership development, it is
important for HR professionals to work with others in the team as they perform numerous
functions in the organization. The Garvey group can make a one-time investment in employee
development as it will help in handling and performing in current and future situations
effectively and efficiently.
