The primary reflection of all organizations.
The City of Memphis Police Division like all other companies hire managers to provide exemplary leadership capabilities.
These leaders are required to manage effectively
by remaining focused and producing proficient employee’s goals that provide opportunities for financial and potential growth.
Management
The key to achieving the mission and goals
of the company is Effective Management.
How do we distinguish this element?
Open Communication
Employee Suggestions
Task, Duties and Responsibilities
Controlling Conflict
Managing Internal Environment
Open Communication – ensures that changes are shared quickly.
The organization will then have the skills and time required to respond to the changes and take advantage of the opportunities that are evolving.
Effective communication between the supervisor and employees is a must!!!!
Managing Internal Environment
Managing Internal Environment
The management of any organization should be responsive and flexible to the Suggestion of Employees.
Employee feedback is a valuable source within the internal environment. When feedback does not exist employees are stressed and not engaged in providing good performance.
Tasks, Duties, and Responsibilities – every organization is characterized by the determination and nature of employees’ tasks, duties, and responsibilities.
Many organizations are making use of different ways when it comes to determining this. It is very important that they are clearly defined.
Managing Internal Environment
Controlling Conflict - a measure of the success of an organization is determined by how conflict can be exposed.
Conflict can not be totally be eliminated.
Establishing policies and procedures representing mechanisms to tolerate and embody challenges to the company will serve as the real essence for a firm that will survive and prosper.
Managing Internal Environment
A Successful Future Starts and ends with the Big Picture
Emotional stability – tolerating stress & frustration.
Dominance – always decisive & competitive.
Drive – energetic, ambitious, and expressive.
Integrity – honest & trust worthy.
Self-Confidence – spontaneous risk-taker.
Compulsiveness – very precise.
Defining the Personality Traits of a Leader
Change in the organizations environment.
Visionary.
A learner and a teacher.
Also, provide a strong sense of ethics and work hard to build integrity in the organization.
Emphasis on Leadership
Creative thinking
Feedback
Training
Managing objectives
Planning
Goals
Instrumenting New Ideals and functions In order to Maximizing Performance with Employees.
MOTIVATE
Managers should always be proactive and attentive.
Managers should be trained to motivate and inspire their team.
The backbone of any successful organization will require a strong management team.
Objectives
Think of your manager as the
captain of the ship. Since the
manager is not physically
driving the boat, they direct
others to look after all the
elements to ensure a safe trip.
Think about it!!!!
Poor Management
On the other hand, the importance of management is not always clearly understood and is poorly implemented.
Usually, because managers direct a lot of their focus on output rather than the process of management.
Problems with Management
Many managers are focused on short-term benefits.
Example: Increasing output just to get productivity and not taking into consideration how it affects the team moral.
Another example is how focusing on short-term benefits is a shortsighted view that tends to get the job done, but creates a dysfunctional long-term organizational environment.
The key is long-term benefits what Motivates the team.
Sometimes they need to ask themselves do they posse the traits to be an effective leader.
Taking Action
Every manager should know that the core of any organization is its workers and their functions.
Taking Responsibilities
Preforming Duties
Developing Tasks
All three evolve in an ad hoc manner.

There's no “supervisor" in the word "team“

KEYS FOR TOMORROWS LEADERS
Understand that Leaders are rarely born.
Persistence & circumstances are the main components for Leadership.
Improve areas of Personality.
Focus on Training for Success.
Don’t be Afraid to Delegate!!!
Delegating is a positive form of managing to reach the company goals.
This action can have a reverse affect if the supervisor is not engaged with delegating some of their work and feels threaten by granting assignments to others.
The supervisor should delegate because it gives them time to concentrate on other assignments and it adds growth by experience.
Delegation does not just happen
The six steps to effective delegation
1. Communicate the Task
2. Furnish Context for the Task
3. Determine Standards
4. Grant Authority
5. Provide Support

Conclusion
In an increasingly structured society and organizations inattention to even one minor detail has the ability to result in significant disruption of the organization or even its failure.
Conclusion
Due to the implementation of this policy, employees are only evaluated within the first 6 months of service.
Performance evaluations should be completed yearly for all civilian employees and supervisors who are not appointed.
