Conclusions A) To provide effective leadership between both unions and corporations, you should have an open line of communication between the corporate leaders and the union leaders. When you have open communication you are able to address and resolved any issues that may arise. The problem I have noticed between corporations and unions working together is that when things start to break down between the two and tensions rise, they are usually due to unfair treatment,

Companies today are finding that a leader with a solid moral compass and a great code of ethics does more for their company by providing clear goals. The ethically sound leader shows his company how they should compose themselves from day to day in all aspects of their business. When the Leader sets the example and the employees, or members follow you, you can increase production and morale. Your employees and members just wanted to be treated fairly. So if your leadership encompasses all the qualities their employees want and promotes the same for his company. Then they will be more likely to follow your lead, and a happy work place is a productive workplace. C) The most most effective leader does not have to be born into it. Instead that person may lack such abilities but he or she can grow into that role. They can take time to listen to what their corporate leaders, the board of directors require.

This allows for each side to raise awareness for any issues that may have cropped up that could be sorted out before it becomes a problem down the road. This goes back to one of the previous conclusions stated earlier; clear communication.
When you have a system of clear communication between parties you allow them to approach with any questions, concerns, problems, or ideas that could be brought up you enable your workforce to have a voice. All of your employees just want to be heard.
2) Another recommendation that I believe could improve the company is for both leaders to find incentives to improve the overall morale for their people. When you give your people a legitimate way to stay on task, and to remain motivated, they are more productive and happy. When your workforce has a reason to perform well and and consistently it reflects better on your leadership and makes your company shine even brighter. People want to buy or work with a company that treats its employees like

Employees are motivated to join labor unions for various reasons. Most important of all is to seek redress for any real or perceived injustices in the workplace (Kearney, & Mareschal, 2014). The management should take cognizance of this fact and act accordingly to roll out a labor relations strategy that will enable them relate well with their employees whether unionized or not. When dealing with union matters at the company, the management should take bold steps in preventing the increase of union-related activities by enticing the employees by enhancing grievance handling and how the employees relate with the company (Carrell, & Heavrin, 2004). This can be achieved by:
Leadership is a quality which cannot be acquired by any person from the other but it can be acquired by self-determination of a person. Leadership can best be called the personality of the very highest ability-whether in ruling, thinking, imagining, innovation, warring, or religious influencing. Leadership is practiced not so much in words a it is in attitude and in actions. Their actions leave a long lasting memory in the line of history and lead up to may events that occur today. To be a leader one will need many qualities. Leaders have a purpose and strategies to accomplish that purpose. They are driven and motivated. In the end they should be able to attain good results. These innate talents help to make up a leader that will succeed and be efficient in carrying out tasks. But, the purpose of this paper is determine what truly makes a leader successful. A successful leader should be considered more on their impact rather than their accomplishments of their organizations alone for they are not sufficient in determining the key to their success .
Ethical leadership simply means the act of leading by knowing and doing what is right (Wise Geek, 2014). A leader that exhibit ethical leadership understands his or her core values, principles, and beliefs and live true to those values.

Jim Collins, leadership guru, shares his findings about the 1,435 good companies whose performance was examined over 40 years. Eleven companies became great companies and organizations. He highlights a framework of this greatness, first by defining great and calibrating success. He emphasizes the importance of Level 5 Leaders, “getting the right people on bus,” and lessons on eggs, flywheels, hedgehogs, and other essentials of business that help to allow the transformation from good to great. Noteworthy is the work centered on the culture of discipline which includes disciplined people who engage in disciplined thought and who take disciplined action. The culture of discipline is a principle of greatness. These principles will lead an organization to greatness. He emphasizes that leaders are best when executive and legislative leadership is blended according to the situation. Level five leaders are those who make sure the right decisions happen and get things done in a diffuse power structure found in contemporary organizations.
Leaders are the individuals who help to create options and opportunities. They help in identifying the choices and solve the problems. They build commitment and coalitions. Leaders do this by inspiring others and working along with them to construct the shared vision of the possibilities and commitments of a better group, organization or community. They engage the followers in such a way that most of the followers become leaders in their own right. The variety of demands of an increasingly complex world very often require that leadership be shared by most of the members of an organization, in appropriate ways for different situations. A leader is the on...
Overview, Enhancing Union-Management Relations The video Enhancing Union-Management Relations focuses on the goals of both the unions and management. The video points out that management tends to be more focused on profit oriented goals. Unions tend to be more focused on a healthy work environment as their main goal. This sometimes creates tension between the union and management.
According to Bolman and Deal (2008), the idea of leadership is not quite straightforward, and there is a debate as to what effective leadership is. However, the authors offer a few elements that define leadership from different viewpoints. Just like many elements within the symbolic frame, leadership is not something tangible nor can it be simply assigned (Bolman & Deal, 2008). Unlike authorities, leaders are not necessarily appointed and do not have to hold an official managerial position (Bolman & Deal, 2008). Instead, leaders are created through relationships with people and their perceptions of the person as a leader (Bolman & Deal, 2008). However, not only leaders could be in the authority
Communication habits must consistently be practiced with both employees and consumers in order to be a successful team leader
The ways employees connect to the leader are important. If the employees do not like or trust the leader, this can impact the outcome of the job and create future hurdles. If you work for someone, you have to be able to relate to him or her. There has to be a formal relationship in order for the formal authority to be respected.
Employers favor and consider the unitarist approach rather than the pluralist approach. The unitarist approach includes common interests between employers and employees and refer to the responsibility of management to control and manage conflict (Moore&Gardner, 2004, p. 275). The unitarist approach indicates that employees should have loyalty to only one authority that is management (Ross & Bamber, 2009, p.25). The unitarist approach discusses legitimacy on managerial authority to prevent third party involvement from unions and treat them unnecessary. Trade unions play a key role in the employee relationships, although the membership of trade unions have been declined because of the unitarism approach. The pluralist approach recognizes that the organizations are made up of “sectional groups that interest may agree or may conflict with rival sources of leadership and attachment” (Geare, Edgar& McAndrew, 2006, p.1191). The Industrial relations explain the relationship between the employees and management which arise from either directly or indirectly from union-employer relationship (Saif, 2013, p. 34- 35). Saif (2013) states that “it is in the interest of all to create and maintain good relations between employees (labor) and employers (management) (p.34).industrial relations covers the aspect of trade unionism in collective bargaining, industrial disputes and employees participation in management. Employees’ associations and trade unions appear to have developed a ‘protest movements’ against the working condition in the
