Entry 5: Training “In order to develop required human resource competencies, organizational leaders need to align the selection, training, development, and removal of employees with the behavioral requirements of the desired change” (Spector, 2010, p. 102). Having a focus on training can be an important part of helping employees understand how their competitive environment is changing. Along with the importance of changing their behaviors.

A leader that is able to mobilize others while showing empathy at the same time. This can create a culture of mutual respect, engagement, and willingness to change.
Opportunities: (What opportunities are identified or created by utilizing this concept?) The opportunity is having a more effective organization with performance and productivity. When employees have a leader that has a fierce desire for their company to succeed it is contagious. This can bring about a shared purpose and help with any change implementations.
Challenges: (What will be the greatest challenges to using the concept, and how will you overcome them?) The challenge is hiring the right kind of employee and training the management/leaders that are current employees. Their roles need to be interdependent and not independent. Transitioning a leader to believe in the power of mutual engagement can be difficult. I can make sure during the hiring process key questions are asked about their leadership style to figure out if there is a fit to the companies desired culture. In addition, set up training programs to show existing leaders and future leaders the benefit of viewing leadership in a collaborative way.
Entry 8: Motivating
A successful leader will be contagious within the organization. When you, the manager, are faced with change, whether it is changing a process or it is the higher management wants to lower their human capital, you are going to have to be the engine that drives your employees even if you are not involved in the decision making.

Training and Development is imperative to the organization’s progress. Training helps addressing employee weaknesses and builds a reliable and skilled workforce. This will improve the employees’ performance and boost their self confidence, and innovation. By acquiring the needed knowledge and skills, employees can perform more efficiently and increase the overall productivity of the organization.
There are 8 main diversity dimensions that determine whether people are in the majority or minority population. Which one of the following is NOT a dimension?
When the organization invests in training and development to improve the knowledge and skills of its employees, the investment is expected to yield productive and effective employees. The programs could be focused on individual performance or team performance depending on the development need identified by a training needs analysis which helps in the creation and implementation of training and management development programs. In the view of Grobler, Warnich, Carrel, Elbert and Hatfield (2004:345), training needs have to be determined first.
My first week of employment as a Front Desk Associate at Wild Dunes Resort, a Destination Property begins tomorrow at 9AM. I have received all the necessary new hire paperwork, including the employee handbook, all instructions and necessary information regarding my first day as well as my very first schedule. I will begin my training at the Human Resource Office where I will complete all necessary hiring documents as well as complete a finger scan for monitoring my work hours.
First piece of advice I would offer would be to calm down and let’s make a rational decision. How long as the problem been occurring and are there any plans of action to improve the employee? If not, then I would suggest a warning or correction needs to take place. In some cases, a verbal counseling might be the better way to go. This is a great way to talk about, attendance, communication and other behavioral issues. It appears that it could be an emotional feeling that management is feeling, because of the statement that was made about the employee. It is important for that proper documentation is provided and is there any chances that the employee is salvageable. Often time, there can be training implemented that allows management to correct the problem without termination taking place.
The researcher will use business people in the city of Holly Springs, Ms., to determine the answer to the following question. Along with using business journals and a survey instrument the following questions would help on the decision making styles.

I am very discouraged after taking the first quiz, which I prepared for tremendously. I had this great confidence while taking the quiz (v2) but my results suggest otherwise. After reviewing my missed questions I would like to challenge the tree listed below;
Organizational analysis “involves determining the appropriateness of training, given the company’s business strategy, its resources available for training, and support by managers and peers for training activities” (Noe, 2013, p. 114). Organizational analysis has determined that retraining needs to occur in several key areas. Training will be given to managers, on improving communication, motivating and retaining employees through coaching and individual pathway development, with a
leaders do the right thing at the right time for the right reason- not what’s politically
There are many keys elements with training and development that will improve performance. Training is very important, it provides the opportunity for employees to expand their knowledge. When a new employee is hired they will required to participate in orientation program, which gives employees the job satisfaction and gives them the commitment of being with that organization at the beginning.
Human resources are the most valuable assets of any organization, with the machines, materials and even the money; nothing gets done without man-power. In today’s business climate, businesses are faced with stiff internal and external competition. There are various human resource functions that give an organization a competitive edge, but most scholars argue that human resource functions becomes only operational when training has run through them all. This places training and development as an essential function in the survival of any organization. Increasingly, high performance organizations today are recognizing the need to use best training and development practices to enhance their competitive advantage.
In order to move forward and keep ahead, I believe an organization need change leaders who have capabilities to have their workforce go from change avoidance to change acceptance. “One of the most significant strengths of an effective leader is the ability to create a positive work climate where people are energized to do their best work, free of unnecessary distractions” (Cronkite, n.d.). During this part of the change process I feel the change leader would have better success if he would be tactful and harness the skills of others by working in a collaborative rather than hierarchical way. Leadership in an organization involves instilling motivation and enthusiasm in the employees. An effective leader knows how to manage and tackle difficult situations and people. Many reasons can cause a force of change in organizations but I feel it’s up to change leaders to manage these planned and unexpected changes. (Word count: 548)
· Training - Employees want to increase their skills, knowledge, and abilities to remain marketable. It gives them a sense of job security. In today's workplace, the more training employees get, the more likely the employer will retain them.

(Business Week, March 1, 1999)"
Employee training programs are important in a business' success. Without an effective training program implemented the business could suffer from confused employees, ill direction and incompetence. The new employee can only excel further when taken through a properly planned training program.
