Successful Leadership Capability For An Automobile Company In Melbourne

The Role of Training Employees

Question:

Discuss about the Leadership for Luxury Hotel of Melbourne.

Leadership is one of the most effective qualities of a person which is either gifted or is achieved after a prolonged period of hard work. Leadership in business refers to the capability of the management of the company to bring out the best performance out of the people to meet the goals of the business organization by taking difficult challenges and make sure that the organization can outperform the other rivals of the market easily. As said earlier the leadership abilities of the people or a niche group of people in the organization helps to motivate the employees which leads to a positive growth of the organization as well as lead to the overall development of the person. The following report is based on successful leadership capability based on a certain case. The general manager of an automobile company has been allotted the responsibility to provide a set of luxury cars for a new luxury hotel of Melbourne. The manager has a huge responsibility of forming a new team of able employees who will be under him and will be involved in the implementation of the project.

Training the employees involved in the project is the first priority of the manager in charge of the entire project[1]. If the automobile company signs the agreement with the new hotel to provide a set of luxury cars of different brands on lease to the hotel. The luxury brands will be selected based on a number of different factors like the performance, fuel efficiency, carbon emissions and most importantly the amount of comfort that these cars will provide. The employees would be trained under expert guidance of the car manufacturing companies. The employees will also be trained with the maintenance of the cars as well. The different training programs will be helpful for the employees to provide a great service to the hotel. The employees can also deliver some useful training to the drivers and the people who will be in charge of the cars in the hotels[2].

The management of the company must also formulate a specific set of rules that are needed to decide on the financial aspects, risk aspects as well as the work place health and safety measures. The finance manager of the company has to decide on the amount of money needed to finance the total project. He must also calculate an approximate amount for the maintenance and service of these cars. On the other hand the management must also formulate a risk management policy in case these cars suffer any form, of temporary or permanent damage. All the cars must be insured by the company so that such damages do not turn into huge losses for the company. Thus they are well protected against any case of safety violation. The model codes of practice in the WHS Legislation are practical guides to achieve the standards of health and safety to protect the workers from any kind of risk that are associated with the workplace. Therefore it is mandatory for the company to ensure the safety of the employees working under this project and make sure that the employees are well protected. This in turn will increase the employee loyalty and can help the organization to deliver better services to the clients.

The first choice of every supervisor must take a disciplinary action to modify the behavior of an employee and must also determine the seriousness of the situation and if they feel must terminate the employee immediately. The supervisor in charge of the team must take corrective action whenever the need arises[4].      

The personal contribution plan will be set up by the project in charge to make sure that every employee and persons involved in the project gets a fair amount of return at the completition of the project successfully.
