Unit 2 Introduction Video
Building an effective management team is one of the primary steps in launching a venture. Entrepreneurs must explore their personal strengths and weaknesses and then determine the resources needed to fill the gaps. Successful businesses require stellar executives and advisors and employees who are a good fit for the company. Thus, anyone tasked with managing a group of people needs to know how to be an effective leader. Relative to successful leadership, managing is easy. A manager must be able to delegate responsibility and make decisions for the team, but a leader must be able to influence team behavior. For this reason, motivation is one of the most powerful tools that a leader can use. A motivated team can go above and beyond the call of duty. Using motivation is far from manipulation – just look at one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This unit will help you distinguish between management and leadership and explore human resource factors, such as recruitment and staff selection. The unit will also discuss employee assessments, emotional intelligence, and Tuckman's Stages of Group Development. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
