The Responsibilities of a Team Leader
Organizing and planning are linked in many ways and mutually dependent. The main difference is that planning concerns itself with deciding what work is to be done while organizing concerns itself primarily with the arrangements for getting it done.
From a human resource utilization viewpoint, it is necessary for managers to raise a number of questions: What needs to be accomplished, and why? When must it be done, and where is the best place to do it? What are the logical classifications into which the work must be divided? What form of organization will provide the best arrangement of human resources to accomplish this job? What positions are needed? Who will do the work? What relationships, formal and informal, need to be integrated and communicated to insure cohesive teamwork and interrelationship of goals?
Every manager wants to have a good working climate - to have a group of employees who are motivated to achieve business goals and accept them as their personal goals. The creation of this environment is largely dependent upon the manager's interpersonal skills; in such a climate each individual assumes complete responsibility not only for doing his own job to the best of his ability, but also for integrating his efforts with those of all other individuals who affect his work or are affected by it.
Every act of management requires a cooperative relationship between two or more persons for its successful consummation. A unity of purpose produces the most productive working climate.
The organization structure itself has a profound effect on people attitudes toward their work. Organization structure, in its broadest sense, includes all the working relationships within the organization - all the individual and collective responsibilities, whether specifically indicated or not.
To a given manager, the formal organization represents what is expected from his personal output. He relates to others in terms of who works on what, when, and why as well as who is dependent on whom for the flow of work. Even a position title implies an understanding of duties, responsibilities, and relationships.
All this serves to stress the fact that every manager needs to plan his segment of the organization in accord with the overall structure. If it is allowed to evolve by itself, many of the concerns expressed earlier will become real problems. When the organization is well planned, more work can be done at less cost because people will know what is expected of them as well as why it needs to be done.
Every manager has a natural tendency to concentrate on short-term results; this is usually the primary basis on which he is compensated and promoted. The human resources executive must convince top management that by giving balanced attention to the future through development of human resources; today work will not suffer, but will actually improve. If tomorrow is not planned for, it may find everyone unprepared when it comes.
Basing an organization on sound planning helps to prevent the crises of unforeseen personnel needs and the sudden unexpected shortage of some specialized talent.
The difference between making things happen and just allowing them to happen is accounted for by good organization planning. When people are confused as to what is expected of them and of others
The Concept of Power
The conditions of domination and subordination of power have always been a constant in the history of human relations and its forms of social organization.
For that reason, analyze the nature and dynamics of power is one of the most important elements of policy analysis and to develop prospective scenarios. It should be noted, as a precautionary measure, which by its very nature interdisciplinary social and profile, the comprehensive study of power in all of its edges, requires a major effort of synthesis that has a enormous size and complexity.
Whenever the subjects of study correspond to the area of political science and specifically to the field of International Relations Theory of the State and the school of political realism is the theoretical element driver.
By its application will be an effort of synthesis aimed at discussing the ways in which the study of power has been renewed concepts of national security.
The main hypothesis argues that power remains an appropriate prism for interpreting national and international reality. This hypothesis is derived in two secondary schools. The first argues that the renewal of security concepts do not break with the theoretical principles of the realist school of power, as only fit a new social reality, by lowering the priorities of the military component. The second hypothesis states that strategic planning schemes allow interpreting state interests and national security objectives under a vision of rationalization of resources and results, beyond the paradigm of unlimited budgets under the argument of reason of state.
The power has gone in parallel with the history of man. Hence, in studies of the gregarious nature of man and of all forms of organization that has evolved in society, direct or indirect references to power, have always been present. A specialist said that this concept has been an ongoing and thorough review by analysts from many different fields of knowledge. From the philosophers of ancient Greece to today military planners, and among them, a whole galaxy of experts in psychology, sociology, economics, political science and international relations, among other disciplines.
The power and their policies have a special relation, which is the figure of the State. According to Maurice Duverger, politics, for some, is the science of the state, while for others it is the science of power. This dichotomy for us, there is as sharp. The power is inherent in the State, to the point that the State is not without power.
It is important to emphasize that the power has laws and fundamental characteristics that distinguish it for purposes of historical analysis, other areas of social knowledge. Only through them can explain why throughout the history of mankind, many nations have lost their place of influence and their empires.
The two major mistakes people make when assessing the power of states: The first is that the power of a state is never permanent, point related to the fact that can be prominent at a given time may not be as important in another. The second is the fallacy of a single factor, which gives too much importance to an element of power.
There are two "categories" of laws: the static and dynamic. The first is universality, diversity, integrity, neutrality and interdependence. For the dynamic stresses conservation, expansion and efficiency relativity.
The power has two faces or facets. Internally, the power is linked to the legal order, the separation of powers and the forms of political, territorial and government, from a fully independent and fully sovereign in their decisions, power is the "set of mutual relations between the trustees of public authority and between them and the people.
Groups, like individuals, have two procedures for obtaining, in case of opposition and conflict, the objectives sought: direct action and political action. The former means that the group acts directly on individuals whose cooperation is necessary to achieve the desired result. The second, that the group tries to succeed by exercising the coercive power of the state.
Environment and Human Behavior
The current vision of the world on environmental issues enables a greater scope and detail about what happens to the environment where they are all living beings. Disasters, tragedies, plundering and exploitation of the natural assets have been increasingly explicit in the face of human society, causing environmental imbalances leading to fatigue and the nature. The purpose of sustainability is that human beings are considered part of nature, being able to develop their actions in balance with the environment in which they live.
Considering the evolutionary history of human thought, it is noted that the thinking of man are becoming throughout history, where it hangs a clash of the old Cartesian paradigm and the new paradigm, that of sustainability. Knowing the evolutionary process of human thought can be pointed as cause for the problem diagnosed: environmental problems not bother enough people so that they act, there is no motivation or personal initiative to trigger environmental action, awareness does not necessarily trigger changes of attitudes, not the accountability of people before the environmental issue.
The solutions to the problem of the programs and projects already working on environmental perception, awareness and consciousness, causing an emphasis on emotion in people that have been sensitized to promote the changes necessary to achieve sustainability.
Considering the parameters that influence the analysis and results of this work, it remains within its objectives, but to propose new ideas for influence in overcoming the processing of environmental awareness in active movement. Building new cultural values, social, political and economic then contributing to formation of a new global consciousness in favor of life and all the diversity in nature.
The actions committed for the environment today does not match that of people aware. We stopped on the concrete action to minimize the impacts that cause. Timid political movements and the majority are electioneering (Search by votes) try to convince people that we work with nature as a small part of the city's trash is separated for recycling, and when changes are government projects past are overlooked or neglected, start another program as environmental be the first to worry about the environmental issue. The search for the reasons that make the conscious action of the generator attitudes and processes that can begin to mitigate the environmental problems is significant, considering the inconsistency of people aware of the existence and the lack of permanent environmental actions.
Working for a healthy environment, the effective action of a company organized and concerned to know, understand and exercise their responsibilities. Referring to the Medical Education, (KIKUCHI, 1991 p. 166) warns: You cannot compare to the action self cure therapy with conventional medical therapy. The purpose of self cure therapy is to empower the healing of patients who must be an act essentially self-educational and not medical. The expropriation of health, holding to the doctors, the exclusive right to treatment for patients and difficult to author, using for that the law, follows, essentially, to ignorance and financial interests. This is one of the main factors that cause disease in troubled modern world. The disease is like a fire and the doctor is like the firefighter.
Although the total mobilization of the entire capacity of the doctor (firefighter) and the use of all equipment, there are still many serious diseases (large fires) that develop in parallel with the rapid development of science and mechanical technology of today. No use looking only technological progress and the practical with their firefighter equipment and instruments, if we strengthen and warned against the fire. We must protect us from disease flare of individual children as well as major fires (epidemics and wars). The disease appears as a possibility for growth, as a barrier that helps us to raise awareness that the imbalance is crucial for maintaining the relative balance. So what if search is not clear how the fire, because if you do not know, just study it and is the most effective method for this. What you want is the self facing the environment. The expropriation of nature is what is bad, compared to the previous reference Kikuchi health. Treat evil is not enough, we must prevent it and that is necessary to investigate what was lost and bring back the habit to return the balance to maintain, and also get the natural balance of ecosystems.
Looking under the same parameters of the search for balance you can cite other examples of the confusion in other segments such as: violent authorities want to stop the violence, doctors want to stop the cancer producing more cancer, educators want to promote education transmitting a fragmented vision and slavering of the reality. Clearly, something is wrong.
There is the need to replace the Cartesian-Newtonian paradigm, consolidated by the positivist doctrine, which still governs our lives. There should be a change in view of the world, considering that the greatest crisis affecting humanity is the crisis of perception, as a warning Capra (1996).
Education has strategic role in the process of environmental management, training of children and young people, incorporating environmental and human values, emphasizing the sense of daily practices with the theory initiated in the classroom, leading to a culture of sustainability, a culture the harmonic coexistence between human beings and between them and nature. The pursuit of sustainable development seems utopian, but the utopian ideas are to build something you dream, and dream is to generate hope. It is the desire to abstract a concrete reality, to stop rambling on firm ground to tread. Developing sustainability means being focused not only on production, is to think and solve small to condescend to the proposed logical natural process, or find the answers in nature to solve the problems. Issues that were created by humans, when we forget that the natural, the organic, and that depends on it. We must go back to origins to rethink the way of human life. Look what has been lost to fit the missing piece of to return to participate in the life cycle of the earth.
Sustainable development as its basic resource elects the creative initiative of individuals and as a fundamental objective the welfare of the material and spiritual. In communities that work well, even when there is poverty, there are also ingenious strategies for survival. (BARROS, 2002, p. 4) According Lerípio (2001, p. 2), the environment and development must cease to be confrontational to become a partnership relationship. The key point of the issue becomes the need for a peaceful coexistence between the quality of the environment and economic development.
What actions have been geared to protecting the environment is needed desvencilhar the mystery of consciousness and their ability to bring actions aware, committed and responsible for spreading solutions of problems and significant environmental improvements. You can not just plant trees in the gardens each year the week of the environment and to worship at that moment as if representing large effect on people and the environment. We must grow conscious attitudes in people, it is important to environmental awareness is no action to mitigate environmental impacts. The continuation of underdevelopment in environmental continuity is the act of playing the remains of food in the same brass in which recyclable materials or as forests are devastated areas equivalent to a big stadium every day, eliminating several endangered species of both flora as fauna, and authorities are not pressured to make this safeguard.
Understanding the basis of generating actions is very important to reach people aware so they can have their attitudes consistent with their way of thinking. Finding the factor for the actions has been a tool much more than just awareness. If awareness were large enough there would be concerns about the environmental issue, as is evident in the company to be established there, in various segments of multipliers of environmental awareness. Maybe the majority did not see the seriousness with which environmentalists have seen, hence the need for treatment of shock, or see the reality that hits on the emotionally and be done with nature and the like. Considering the importance of these aspects, this paper attempts to point out answers or solutions to the inertia of rest where people park conscious and not aware, to have the factor or factors instigators to a state of movement for activities beneficial to the environment, a inertia of movement of environmentally conscious heads.
If every person endowed with environmental awareness still lacks reason to act on the environmental issue is instigated in the right spot to develop attitudes that same individual to remedy environmental damage or prevent them, work is more than a contribution to environmental education, but yes, the trigger that fires every person other than his desire to make their way of life today, to more healthy attitudes from a particular, emotional, psychological, actor in major changes necessary for preservation and conservation of an integrated world of humans and nature as it always was, one thing only. To search for the guideline have research that points to a single directionclearing the nuances that may be involved in your real objective is therefore necessary to infer the problem question: Why do many people, although being environmentally aware, yet have no rational attitudes that are taking actions environmentally sound?
