Leadership and Management in Semco

LEADERSHIP AND
MANGEMENT

An organization consists of a set of people which is
established for specific purposes. To run such entity effective
leadership and management skills are required. Generally, an
enterprise incorporated with particular objectives like
profitability, productivity, customer service, growth, employee
retention, maintain financing, etc. To accomplish such goals,
effective management and leadership skills are required in an
organization like Semco (Herman, 2011).
TASK 1

In the company managers’ job is to planning, organizing,
coordinating, staffing where as leader is required to motivate,
direct and inspire employees and workers of firm. There is a
great importance of these two. Better management facilitates
better planning, organizing, staffing and coordinating to achieve
targets of Semco. On other side, effective leadership is required
to provide guidance, create confidence, building of morale and
motivation, create a good working environment, self awareness,
team building, managing conflict, recognizing, defining and
solving problems, etc. Sometime on requirement, a manager
may perform functions of leader and vise versa.

Semco is following lasses faire leadership style where
employees are free to work within a particular limit.
Management facilitates a democratic working environment that
reduces control over workforce (Marker, 2010). Here, they
provide an opportunity to staff to elect their own managers and
higher authority. A good leader should have qualities such as
focus, confidence, integrity, patience, guiding, innovation,
transparency, passion, authenticity, open mindedness, good
communication, empowerment and positivity, etc. Earlier this
company used to follow autocratic style of leadership later it
changed it and adopted laissez faire style.
