INTRODUCTIONLeadership and organization behavior tends to make a better understanding of humanbehavior in an organization, and as how to develop the leadership abilities of an individual byengaging them into certain areas, to expand and lead the organizational change in a positiveapproach.TASK 1A Examining the skills and attributes needed for a leaderTo develop a strong management style in an organization, good leadership has alwaysproven to be successful. To become a good leader, one need to possess certain skills, traits andknowledge. These qualities and characteristics include being passionate towards the work,having an effective communication power to interact with the employees, commitment to thestaff by building a strong team and being decisive, which defines the ability of making quick,logical and correct decisions. For example, Bill Gates, who founded the world's largest businessMicrosoft. He is among one of the most successful business leaders. He effectively played hisleadership role by being very passionate towards his work and make tough decision, at times.There's a slight difference among leaders and managers, where leaders are more likely to takerisk which defines their risk taking ability (DiPaola and Tschannen-Moran, 2014). Contradictoryto that, managers are more focused to avoid the risk and works for minimizing it. Another greatexample is Mark Zuckerberg, who is the co- founder and CEO of the social networking websiteFacebook. He majorly played the role of a manager, carrying the leadership qualities of being agreat speaker and communicator to his team. He subsequently made commitments towards hiswork and successively fulfilled the same (Bolino and et.al., 2013).B Different type of leadership stylesLeadership style is a way towards the success of the organization. It is a style of directingpeople, implementing useful plans and motivating the employees of the organization. There aremainly three type of leadership styles being used in an organization, namely:-1.Autocratic- Such type of leaders believe in direct supervision to maintain a healthyenvironment. They have more focus on efficiency. For example, in real life of MarkZuckerberg always command his colleagues to complete a particular task. As a result of1

which, today Facebook is successfully becoming worldwide. Thus, Authoritariansbelieves in productivity. 2.Democratic- Also known as participative leadership, helps in boosting the morale of theemployees by involving them in the decision making process. Mark Zuckerberg oftentakes feedback from his colleagues for making a better layout for Facebook. Due towhich, he put better features which helps people easily connected to the world (Shin,2012).3.Laissez- faire- It is that style of leadership, in which all the decision making rights aregiven to the workers of the organization. It gives full freedom to the employees, whichlacks direct supervision and sometimes also leads to low production, deficit control andan increasing costs to the company. In the real life scenario, Mark Zuckerberg sometimeslet his colleagues to make changes in the Facebook layout (Hoch and Kozlowski, 2014).He even do not disturb or correct them, when they are fully wired in it.TASK 2A Reward system in Tesco PLC and Ritz-Carlton, comparing the motivational theoriesMotivation is an abstract concept used to explain behavior. Motivation involves certaintheories to identify its need in a better way. In context to it, most of the companies haveintroduced reward management. It is one of the crucial strategies of HRM. The two companiesnamely, Tesco PLC and Ritz-Carlton has been opted here to determine their reward system.Tesco PLC is one of the biggest multinational retailer, headquartered in UK. It is a team of over480, 000 people, serving in 11 markets. It too believes in rewarding their employees as a part ofemployment relationship. It has been used as a tool to raise the commitment and performance ofthe employees. Tesco follows Vrooms expectancy theory which defines that employees seeksreward as a return in exchange of their performance, being appreciated by the employer.Contradictory to that, Ritz- Carlson, believes in the McClelland theory of motivation (Avolio,and Yammarino, 2013). It is also called as Need theory or three needs theory, which defines thathow the needs for achievement, power and affiliation affects the actions of people. The Ritz-Carlson is one of the luxurious chains of hotel, founded in 1983 and presently consists of around35000 employees. It provides outstanding benefits, compensative pay and benefits with equalrecognition and growth opportunities (Colbert, Barrick and Bradley, 2014).2
