Task 1
Skills and attributes are needed for leadership in ASDA Stores:
There are various types of leadership approach by which a company can carry on their team
successfully. Amongst them, democratic type of leadership style is much effective for ASDA
stores. The democratic type of leadership is a style in which the team allows group agreement
and making new ideas. In democratic leadership or participative leadership style, participants of
a team contribute a role of more participation in decision-making procedure. Every one of the
team gets the chance to participate in the decision-making process and can exchange their ideas
freely. The discussion in the team is encouraged through the democratic style of leadership. This
type of style is required in rapidly changing and dynamic environments. In the fast moving
administrations, every selection for improvement is reflected to sustain the team’s success. When
circumstances change often, democratic leadership style suggests a great agreement of elasticity
to cope up with better ideas of doing stuff ("News update", 2003).
Democratic leadership may bring the finest out of a professional and experienced team. It gets to
benefit from their talents and skills by letting the teams share their ideas, rather than merely
expecting to adapt them. This style is as effective as it keeps an open communication between
authority and the staffs and everyone could focus on the discussion. This democratic style makes
the employees ready for commitment and helps to respect everybody’s opinion.

The difference between leadership and management to the consultant team:
The leadership of any organization has no alteration between the managing and leading team in
1980. A leader is an individual who has the important post in a company and holds the authority
and power in an organization. It was different and novel notion that management and leadership
have different roles and different outlooks, responsibilities and behavior. Many kinds of
literature show the differences between management and leadership, but those cannot give any
strong understandings. Those research cannot provide any clear difference between these two
concepts, and there is no particular differentiating line. Management is involving of organizing,
planning, budgeting, staffing, reporting, directing and coordinating and recognized as the
acronym and all these come under administration. Management categorizes as the scientific idea.
It is said that organization is a skill to get done things through workers. Management has given
priority to solve all the things efficiently in time ("News update", 2003).
Leadership is problematic to define also as it is hard to give qualities or assumption which can be
anybody leader. The definitions of leadership vary and reliant upon the situation of the person as
there may be different situations, different types of tasks in different time that's why the
leadership qualities are variable. There are various types of leadership styles as there is a
different kind of people who have tried to suggest the definition of the concept. Amongst many
ideas of leadership, the most three important concepts of leadership are inspiration, vision and
followers, but these three notions are the external the borderline of the supervision(Glitz, 2013).
Management does not contest with these concepts, and through these points, the difference
between administration and leadership can be differentiated (Bush, Bell, & Middlewood, 2010).
Leaders visualize persuasive idea at their best, and this is tough for them, and they do not borrow
itself to the process of management. An administrator implements and makes strategies for the

Working with and leading people 5
company to attain the measurable objective. The leader has aimed for an organization, and he has
the dynamic visualization, but a manager does not have the same. The vision of a leader is
impressive, and they think elsewhere the boundary where the managers contemplate in a formal
structure of the mind. Management is a purpose which must be applied in business, but
leadership is the connection between leader and team members that can produce energy to carry
on the organisation(Glitz, 2013).
Comparison of leadership styles for different situations:
The types of various leadership styles are Bureaucratic, Autocratic, Laissez-faire, Democratic.
The bureaucratic style is centered on following to authority's lines and normative rules of power.
The features of the method associated with Weber's explanation of transactional bests. Leaders
impose systematic and strict self-control on the staffs in ASDA, and they demand business. They
hold a position power which is given by authority and workers are encouraged to do better
according to their ability. It is most effective when teams performing a regular job and they need
to make out certain procedures (Bush, Bell, & Middlewood, 2010).
Autocratic leadership style is one of the classical outlooks to run a company successfully.
Managers sustain decision making expert and power and does not allow any input which can be
received from staffs and they don't make any consultation with their staffs. Workers expected to
follow the rules without getting any explanations. When untrained, new employees don’t know
about the task which they have to perform or to follow the process, autocratic leadership style is
the most active to use (Guérin, 2006) .

Another name of Laissez-faire leadership style is "hands-off" style in which the staffs get much
freedom and manager delivers no or little direction. The staffs get all the power to achieve their
goals, solve their problems in the workplace and make decisions. Through this style, officers can
be highly experienced, skilled and educated and they become trustworthy.
Democratic leadership style is also recognised as the participative style which encourages the
workers to be the part of decision making. This style wants to inform the staffs about the matters
which affect them. This technique is most useful for encouraging participation and team
building.
Ways to motivate ASDA staff to achieve the business objectives of ASDA:
The companies are continuously attempting to find out excellent ways to inspire their teams for
increasing results and productivity(Glitz, 2013). There are different ways to motivate the
employees in an organisation such as Herzberg's motivational theory, Maslow's hierarchy of
needs, etc. By applying Maslow's theory, people can fulfil various needs at different stages, and
it is created on humanistic outlook (Guérin, 2006) . Through Herzberg's theory adequate
remuneration avoids unpleasantness, responsibility and recognition satisfy the necessity of
growth.

TASK 2
The benefits of team working for an organisation and provide examples from the ASDA stores:
The team working in a workplace is useful and beneficial. In various teamwork foster learning
and creativity is one of them ("News update", 2003). Individual experiences are completely
different from coworkers. Thus cooperation increases shared knowledge and help to learn new
skills.
Partnership creates the strong bond with coworkers and contributes to trust each other and to
trust on teammates give a feeling of security.
Working in a team as a leader and a supervisor at ASDA local store towards the 2016 Christmas
sales margin, dealing with cultural conflicts or confusing marketing situations:
A leader should notice on the quality of the product as the customers have not like the ASDA
products (Guérin, 2006) . He should follow the management team and follow their orders to
maintain quality. They should preserve the rate of the product and notice on wrapping procedure
to sell almost. They should make more exciting and innovative products as these can draw the
attention of children.
The effectiveness of the teamwork:
As ASDA chooses democratic leadership style, it helps to work the workers collectively with
their full effort. The team members can take good risk also which helps the company to increase

Working with and leading people 8
their profit ("News update", 2003). The team has helped them to learn conflict resolution talents,
and blends were harmonising strengths.
TASK 3
The factors involved in planning for monitoring and assessment of work performance in the
ASDA stores:
The most important method is to monitor a staff's performance is to watch with authority's eye.
Observing on staff will tell everything about the employee's performance. If a worker is doing
wrong, power can suggest better ideas. Employees can utilise self-monitoring devices through
which they can reach their aim and deadlines, and they can watch what they have completed all
of the days. Another way of monitoring is to review job regularly that shows the management
has to check employee's work. If anyone is responsible for anything wrong, the authority can
mark out any employee easily ("News update", 2003). Another way is to converse with other
managers, coworkers and vendors, etc. to know about the activities of employees (Bush, Bell, &
Middlewood, 2010).
The assessment of the development needs of individual employees working in ASDA stores:
There are many development needs which are necessary for the staffs of ASDA. The company
should motivate the workers to carry on their job successfully and to increase the productivity of
the enterprise. Another need is to provide training to the untrained and new staffs to make their

Working with and leading people 9
work power and effectiveness. Through training process, everyone could grow their skills which
are essential for the office job.
The success of the assessment process:
There are some assessment methods like Summative, formative and process assessment.
Summative assessment is the aid for the determination of refereeing evaluation and
authenticating results (Bush, Bell, & Middlewood, 2010). Formative assessment gathers that the
results will be used in the reconsideration progression and growth of educational work.
Developmental imposts are rejected in an enhancement of teaching courses. Process impost
inducts with the certification of mission pointers to be protracted.

TASK 4
Prepare documentation to select and recruit a new member of staff
In ASDA organization, there has a complete process for recruitment a new employee. Some
steps are included in this recruitment process, and it is important to fulfil the steps of this
process. When a person or employee leave his or her job, then it is needed for the organization
ASDA to appoint a new staff for the same post. Before that, it is important to look for the post if
there are needed some changes (Münstermann, Eckhardt and Weitzel, 2010). There are required
some evidence for the job analysis the level of the job, if needed any tasks or about the working
hours or if any changes are needed. On the other side, some process is important to hire an
employee such as skills, knowledge, experience, personal attributes and qualifications.
Assess the impact of legal, regulatory and ethical consideration to the recruitment and selection
process
There have some legal issues for every organization. Therefore, the authority of the organization
ASDA should be aware of the legal issues (Silbaugh, 2011). It is important that the recruiter
must not hurt the culture of the interviewer or his or her ego. On the other side, the employees
also have some duty. They have to give their proper details to the recruiter of ASDA. According
to this, the decision of the recruiters should not vary the person's religion, sex, age, disability,
national origin, marital status because the law prohibits the judgement in every aspect of
workers. Before going for the interview, the person should know that the information is right or
wrong (Bush, Bell, & Middlewood, 2010). Also, the person has to answers to the job offers and
applications within the time. If the employee does not get an ethical behaviour from the
recruiters of the organization, then they have to contract with court cases and also they have
paying fine for that mistake.

Take part in the selection process
The human resources management is included with this. The human resources manager found
the vacancies of the ASDA organization's for recruit new employee. They are employing new
workers by reference checking, online searching (CAMPBELL, 2012). Some responsibilities are
needed such as,
For employment, all external and internal advertisement should place and prepared.
The ASDA organization have to place the interview with the presence of all board members.
The organization should collect all the forms and make the interview list of the interviewers.
Arranging a room for the interviewers.
Have to send acceptance and rejection letters and make employ package for the new employees.
Evaluate own contribution to the selection process
HR manager of the ASDA organization plays a significant part in selection and recruitment
process. The HR manager keeps a pleasant environment in the workplace. Along with this, he or
she connected with the marketing, admin and finance department to achieve the goals. In the
organization, the interview or recruitment process should be very clear, and it is the duty of the
HR manager of ASDA. He or she have to read the applications of interviewers so that he or she
can choose the perfect employee for the particular post (Collins, 2007).
