Section A

Introduction

What are the advantages for organisations that have this understanding of leadership
compared to management? That was the subject of the presentation. The group tried its best,
however they fell short in terms of presentation quality and preparation. Unless the presenter
took the time to explain the slides to the reader, the information shown on them was insufficient
and difficult to understand. As a result, no one could make sense of the slides due to the style and
content. The group or presenter failed to adequately cover the subject as they only defined
leadership and management. The data and presentation were both perplexing; instead of trying to
present the slides in the manner that is expected of them, they just copied and pasted data from
the internet without demonstrating any effort to obtain their own data. Crucial information
pertaining to the subject is missing from the presentation. The following are examples of items
that they neglected to include in their presentation or on the slides:

• They omitted any discussion of how leadership and management interact within
companies.

• Neither the quantity nor the quality of the material met the necessary criteria,

• The presentation slides failed to address the importance of leadership and management.
• The advantages of leadership and management in companies need more evidence, which was
not provided. There should be additional information beyond the current one line pertaining to
perks.

• They should be more deliberate and explicit in how they wrap up the
presentations.There is a lack of supporting facts and hypotheses, and the data presented is not
robust enough, to persuade the audience.

Content

The material they used falls short of the standards that were set for them. Readers found
the content and layout of these slides to be unclear. The definitions of leadership and
management that were purely authored by the presenter or group members failed to adequately
address the subject and the situation at hand. Slide data and the presentation are not clear. They
only copied data from the internet without contributing to their own data collection or even
attempting to show the slides as needed. Not even bothering to read the presentations, they just
brought up the relevant data.

Missing crucial information

The slides did not provide the data that should have been the foundation of the
presentation. They just provided little information that could be found online. It was
disheartening to see that the group members did not actively participate or provide analysis,
especially when personal reflection is key to the presentation. What the personal presentation is
all about is sending the right signals for the individuals involved and the scenario. People who
aren't confident in themselves and who don't trust others can't play to their strengths or
communicate their message well, say Cortellazzo et al. (2019). When used effectively, visual
aids like text, tables, and graphs may make presentation slides more engaging and easier to read,
all while efficiently delivering complicated and vast quantities of information (Bârgău, 2015).
Section two of the dipositives need further attention and clarification. They should include a
discussion of the managers' and leaders' internal connections on the presentation slides as this
topic has not been brought up before. Since the provided information was inadequate and did not
fulfil the necessary criteria, it is critical that the quality of the content be improved. The
presentation slides must address the problem by highlighting the importance of leadership and
management. Lack of thorough description of leadership and organisational management
benefits—merely listed as an addition to your benefits—is insufficient and requires further data
(Kaul et al., 2020).

Impending progress

On the presentation slides, they need to provide the following information:

Management and leadership


The ability to motivate and direct followers towards the accomplishment of shared
objectives is a hallmark of effective leadership (Lopez, 2014). In organisations, persons with this
degree of leadership qualification commonly hold positions such as chief executive officer, chief
information officer, or chairman of the board. Management refers to the method by which any
organisation is run, whether it a for-profit company, a charity, or even a government agency
(Mehta et al., 2014). According to Ashikali and Groeneveld (2015), managerial management
entails planning, considering, arranging, directing, and regulating an organization's people,
financial, physical, and informational resources in order to more effectively and efficiently
achieve organisational goals. Neglecting these procedures might have harmful effects for the
organisation, according to Bârgău (2015). Mismanagement and significant employee turnover
are two examples of potential organisational challenges. The argument is that senior
management doesn't have enough information to set up a self-regulating system that can handle
all of the organization's demands.

A company's management and leadership play an important role

The leader of an organisation is accountable for defining its mission and vision and then
directing the group to achieve those objectives. Leadership that has an impact ensures financial
prosperity for all parties involved (Ashikali, & Groeneveld, 2015). The way Amazon CEO Jeff
Bezos communicates the company's goal to his employees is an example of transformative
leadership. They bring about harmony between individual and corporate objectives. A person's
ability to lead their team towards organisational objectives is a key leadership quality (Mehta et
al., 2014). He tries to persuade other people to work together in a coordinated manner so that
they may achieve these goals. Employees at Tesco, for instance, should model the company's
core principle of offering first-rate service to customers. In order to better comprehend and work
towards the organization's aims, the CEO of Tesco provided an example to the team. Ashikali
and Groeneveld (2015) list organising, leading, motivating, planning, and monitoring as some of
the many tasks that make up management. This role allows management to develop plans and
acquire resources for the purpose of overseeing and controlling operations, as described by
Zaleznik (1981). An integral part of any organisation is the manager, who is responsible for a
wide range of tasks such as setting goals, directing employees, making important choices,
building rapport with employees, and representing the company in public (Ashikali, &
Groeneveld, 2015). It continues by stating that without these foundational elements and
mentality, the company's organisational success might suffer. More controversy surrounds the
relevance of organisational hierarchy and its substantial correlation to performance (Lopez
2014). Managers should therefore concentrate on effectively managing these functions if they
want to cultivate an atmosphere of cooperation within the organisation.

Analysing the management and leadership relationships inside a company

The connection between leadership and management is a major topic in organisational


management theory and practice (Bârgău, 2015). Arguments break out when students studying
leadership and management fail to understand organisational management's foundational
principle. Uslu (2019) argues that management and leadership are the two main responsibilities
of a company's upper management. Linkage between the two is based on the relationship
between the leadership and management team, according to Ogbonna and Harris (2000).
According to Cortellazzo et al. (2019), managers are responsible for ensuring that tasks are
carried out effectively, while leaders are responsible for ensuring that tasks are carried out
correctly. At its core, Apple's business strategy is based on the principle that top management
should align with the company's objectives. In order to better understand the company's
operations and how to implement them in Apple's business setting, the firm has implemented a
training programme for its senior executives. The position taken by Sobratee and Bodhanya
(2018) is more firm. This demonstrates how crucial leadership and management are to the
administration and running of the business on all levels. The impact on organisational
management is dynamic and complimentary, say Mehrad and Fallahi (2014). By way of
illustration, Tesco has attempted to merge these two domains via the administration of its
operations and exceptional leadership grounded on specific Tesco ideals. Their ability to provide
outstanding customer service is a direct result of this. In doing so, it improves the organization's
operations in areas where they are lacking. Effective management and inspiring leadership are
two sides of the same coin (Ogbonna & Harris, 2000). Leadership and management roles within
organisations are now better complemented by this study's results, which add to the body of
literature on management theory integration (Maccoby, 2000).

Having strong leadership and competent management is essential for any organisation.
A company needs strong leadership if it wants to plan and achieve its objectives. One
way Facebook promotes a productive work environment is by offering top-notch training to
managers. Al-Mamary et al. (2014) states that managers may get insight into team dynamics,
individual performance, and organisational performance by evaluating their environments.
Achieving the company's objectives requires management to oversee production elements,
organise and assemble resources, and integrate those resources effectively. This is an essential
part of keeping resources efficiently maintained, as stated by Homan et al. (2020). However, as
pointed out by Asrar-ul-Haq and Anwar (2018), we would miss opportunities to improve our
products if we focus just on resource management. This is what motivates a group to work
together to accomplish a common objective. If the end purpose of an organisation were crystal
obvious, then no resources would be wasted. Uslu (2019) asserts that the onus for turning cash,
equipment, and other chaotic resources into a profitable enterprise lies on management. In
response, Maccoby (2000) argues that the business achieves its objective by the careful
management, control, and coordination of these resources. Companies shouldn't only concentrate
on this; they should learn everything they can about the market and its environment.

To sum up

The group tries very hard, but they just can't get the message over or arrange the
information properly. Until the presenter explains everything, no one will grasp the presentation
since the slides either have too little data or too much data. As a result, the presentations are
impossible to understand and will perplex any reader with their substance and manner. The
group's or presenter's disastrous handling of the material consisted solely of jotting down
definitions of management and leadership. Both the presentation and the data presented on the
slides fail to adequately explain the subject.

Part B: How Well the Team Performed

• The presenting group in the video isn't as cohesive as it should be because of infighting,
even if they seem capable. They may want to work on their presentation a little.

• The slides are powerful and often utilised, but there is a lack of content and key points
are absent from the presentations. • The slides are of poor quality and fail to effectively
communicate the topic. It seems like the slides were produced with little to no effort, and there is
room for improvement in terms of quality.

• The presentation's visuals and delivery made us lose interest in the topic about the
midpoint.

The author did not provide any theory or personal insight to support their assertions, even
if the sources were valid. Though adequate, more thorough examination using the available
resources might have produced better findings.

Nearing advancement

Although they might have performed better, their presentation was adequate. It may be
possible to do this via working together and having a strong commitment to the group's
objectives. They were a cohesive unit, but the presentation and slides lacked the necessary
information; more study and theory were needed. On top of that, they had to bring their own
viewpoints to the table because of the presentation. They have a chance to do better in future
presentations if they do more research and gather information from a variety of sources that are
relevant to the topic. They need to add their own analysis if they want to improve their
presentations in the future.

Assessing prior efforts

The presentation's attempt to explain the theory behind the concept was enlightening.
Everyone has to be bolder when it comes to their position on the issue. They need to look the
people in the eye rather than at the slides. Their focus should instead be on making sense of the
presentation's topic matter. In order to do justice to the material, the group should realise they
need to work on their presentation skills. Developing one's capacity for analysis and engaging in
regular public speaking are two means to this end. Learning to be more receptive to their
environment and improving their public speaking skills might be beneficial for them. Academics
should possess the capacity to introduce oneself properly since it is a crucial talent. A handful of
approaches will enough to achieve the goals.
