“ The most-desired management skill is good communication, followed by a sense of vision, honesty, decisiveness, and ability to build good relationships with employees.” One organization wanted to inform its employees about 4 things: a public holiday, the impeding laying off of 50% of the total employee workforce, changes to the top management team of the company and a new clocking-on, clocking-off system the company was going to introduce.

Used wisely, it’s a blessing. Indulged, it can be a curse. Charismatic visionaries lead people ahead – and sometimes astray. They can be impetuous, unpredictable, and exasperating to work for”. Describe the types of power used by managers in organizations.  Explain fully the influencing tactics used in organizations.  Bob Weinstein, who co-founded and headed Disney’s Miramax film unit, made the following statements: Bob: I used to wonder how Harvey viewed a movie; what was the quality he was looking for in making a decision to buy? He gave me an answer I’ve never forgotten. He said, “ I actually watch a movie for the movie’s sake, just as if I had paid my $7 to see it. Whether it was costing me $2 million or $7 million to acquire it, that wasn’t in my mind. It was just, literally, did I enjoy the movie for its own sake?” You follow your instincts and enjoyment rather than a formula in your head; you buy it on your gut. Describe the information-processing style that Bob is talking about.                                                                    Describe the other styles and their significance in decision-making.
