2.0 Explanation of two leadership theories
The theories of leadership refer to multiple thoughts that are brought forward to explain certain
characteristics of an individual who has become a leader. Moreover, the leadership theory
explains the ability of an individual who guides the organization towards achieving its goals and
future objectives. In the current context, two leadership theories that are adopted by Stewart-
Charles Singapore are discussed below. The hierarchy managers of the organization use these
theories in their departments in order to undermine the ability of the organization so that it can
deliver an effective performance.
Great man theory of leadership:
The theory of a great man was evolved in the 19th century. This theory helps to identify the
scientific certainty that represents the combination of human leadership characteristics. The
theory delivers certain perception that says a man holds the required characteristics of being a
leader. In addition to that, the great man theory mainly assumes that the behavioral factors of a
leader are pretty much intrinsic in nature. Therefore, Stewart-Charles only selects male
candidates for certain areas where it will be difficult for a female leader to effectively lead the
team. Additionally, this theory identifies great leaders that can show the team a specific
breakthrough from a certain situation. In addition to that, the theory of Great man leadership was
mainly popularized by Sir Thomas Carlyle who was a teacher and writer. Therefore, it is
observed that the theory of the Great man is inspired by the achievement of influential heroes.
This leadership theory was invented by Herbert Spencer, who was a philosopher and disputed the
great man theory while affirming the achievements of heroes and their impacts on the social and
cultural areas. As the Stewart-Charles is related to car manufacturing, therefore, a
departmentalization of especially skilled employees is needed. Designing team, engineering
team, car interior designing team is needed to be divided according to their specialization skills.
Therefore, a leader is needed to be implemented in these departments so that the specialized
skills of the workers can properly be executed (Nawaz, Z.A.K.D.A. and Khan_ PhD, 2016).

It is observed that the Great man theory is appropriate for controlling the organizational
management of Stewart-Charles, Singapore. This theory helps the organization to identify the
leaders who have inborn leadership qualities and have the necessary attributes to set leadership
qualities apart from others. This theory is proven appropriate for this manufacturing company it
helps them to identify the leadership qualities of hierarchy authorities who can effectively lead
the company to accomplish its business goals while eliminating all the negative aspects.
Additionally, this theory has provided certain support to the organization in identifying the
characteristics of the leaders and understanding their précised role in controlling a particular
department. Additionally, prompted by the great man theory of leadership and the increasing
interest of understanding the aspects of a successful leadership the differentiation of the
characteristics of different leaders provides a certain attribute that helps to understand the
leadership approaches.

Trait theory of leadership
The Trait theory of leadership circles round the propel who have inborn qualities or have
transformed themselves as such that they can effectively play a major role in guiding his/her
team. Moreover, it contains certain qualities such as a mere sense of responsibility, intelligence,
and creativity. In addition to that, it includes certain values that can effectively help an
organization to identify a good and efficient leader. Furthermore, it is noticed that the traits
theory of leadership mainly focuses on analyzing the physical, social and mental characteristics
of the leader in order to achieve a certain understanding regarding the characteristics of the
combination of successful leaders. Therefore, applying this leadership theory in the
organizational management of Stewart-Charle's mere connectivity among the leaders of different
departments has been developed. On the other hand, there are several shortfalls of these theories
can be identified as observing from a psychological approach, it can be noticed that all the
leaders hold different perceptions and apply different techniques to rich the objective. Therefore,
a certain mode of dispute can be seen between the leaders of different departments.

The Traits-theory of leadership is appropriate for the organization as it delivers a scope trough
which the leaders of all departments can effectively create connectivity among them. This theory
helps Stewart-Charles to identify the specific personalities from the departments in order to
distinguish different leadership characteristics. It helps the organization to identify such leaders
who can largely initiate towards a specific objective rather than being developed through
learning or observing. Stewart-Charles has identified various interests, personalities, and abilities
of the leaders and those personalities in their managerial departments who are completely
different from those less effective and inefficient leaders. Moreover, it is observed that the
leading theory of Traits is one of the most naturally pleasing theories and it is appropriate for
validating the leadership traits of an individual (Nichols, 2016).
Opinion
It is observed that the effective leaders of an organization are those personalitie4s who are being
gifted with some of the excellence that provides a divine inspiration to the team members while
having a soulful characteristic. It can be opined that, through applying Great man theory of
leadership, Stewart-Charles mangos to implement various aristocratic rules in order to identify
the positions of the social status of their departmental leaders. As can be seen, the people who
have a lesser social influence cannot efficiently process the opportunities that allow a leader to
precise effective leadership skills. In the recent scenario, Stewart-Charles have identified
prominent leadership characteristics from their managerial areas and have implemented their
inheriting characteristics in order to increase productivity and enhance the skills of the workers.

On the other hand, it has been opined that the traits theory is responsible for identifying the
abilities, personalities, and interests of different leadership figures in an organization. Moreover,
it is observed that Stewart-Charles has considered the preconditions of leadership as an essential
element that can allow identifying people with leadership potentials. In addition to that, through
applying six leadership traits, such as; drive, honesty, intelligence, integrity, knowledge relevant
to the job and desire to lead a team, Stewart-Charles can effectively transform non-leader
personalities into efficient leaders. In addition to that, it helps to bind the subjective judgments in
determining the effective leadership skills in order to list the possible traits to identify
transactional leadership aspects within the organization.

3.0 Evaluation of motivation and reward aspects regarding the performance management
system
The system of reward mainly exists for supplying a certain mode of motivation to the employees
in order to ensure that the employees are delving their one hundred percent to achieve the
strategic goals of the organization. In addition to that, reward management is not concerned with
providing and paying additional benefits to the workers, it just helps to boost up the performance
of staff. Moreover, there are non-financial rewards (Training, responsibilities, and recognition)
that are equally concerned with financial rewards. In these particular segments, the rewards and
motivation aspects of Stewart-Charles will be discussed in order to deliver a certain perception
regarding the organizational management structure of this company (Nguyen et al. 2017).
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs reflects that needs that are categorized into five basic categories
such as self-actualization, self-esteem, belongings, safety, and psychological needs. Through
providing these five basic needs to the employees the organization can effectively motivate their
employees to initiate more of them.

Moreover, there is Alderfer’s theory of existence, relatedness, and needs of growth that is
comprised of three classes of needs (needs of existence, relatedness, and growth) that deliver a
certain mode of motivation to the employees. In order to successfully motivate the employee to
the organization needs to fulfill the basic needs of the employee. Moreover, the organization
needs to maintain a certain relationship among all the employees working in different
departments. In addition to that, employees expected to achieve a certain growth if they manage
to stand by the expectations of the organization.
