Option #2: Leadership and Management for Decision Making and Development

Is there really a need for widespread leadership in an organization, or can there be a much larger number of managers and still get the job done? If a company utilizes very few leaders as opposed to managers, could an agile, effective decision-making process be developed? Could a talent pool be developed, managed, and nurtured to the level a company would desire to be successful? Evaluate and support your responses to these questions in a well-written paper.

Your paper should be:

  1. Three to four pages in length (not including cover and reference pages).
  2. Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).

Human resource

  • Unhappy with her job, Terri goes to her friend and coworker Joyce and suggests that what the workplace really needs is a union. She thinks this would keep their jobs free from discrimination. Joyce suggests that there are laws that already protect them from discrimination but there may be other benefits to a union.This week will focus on the protected activities of a labor union, in addition to the history of labor unions and their current practices. You will see a clear difference between employment law from the rest of the course and the labor law that is explored this week. The pendulum swings back and forth for the strength of unions and, historically, it is has been a power struggle between management and the union. You will also learn the different types of union shops so that if you are ever in an HRM professional position to work with a union, you will have some awareness and know some questions to ask.

  • Write Your Discussion Post
    The Role of Unions in the Twenty-First Century
    What will be the role of labor unions in the twenty-first century? Some argue that the traditional role of the union in protecting the worker has been usurped by significant legislation protecting the worker against discrimination, unsafe work conditions, and unfair pay. Others point out that unions remain indispensable for several reasons; for example, because “at-will” employment is still the law of the land, meaning that most workers can be fired for any reason.

    • How does the role and purpose of the modern union need to be redefined to effectively serve its membership?
    • How does the presence of a union influence the job of the HR professional?
