Answer the question based on the given passage

Management is a set of processes that can keep a complicated system of people and
technology running smoothly. The most important aspects of management include planning,
budgeting, organising, staffing, controlling, and problem-solving. Leadership is a set of
processes that creates organisations in the first place or adapts them to significantly
changing circumstances. Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people
with that vision, and inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles. This distinction
is absolutely crucial for our purposes here: Successful transformation is 70 to 90 per cent
leadership and only 10 to 30 percent management. Yet for historical reasons, many
organisations today don't have much leadership. And almost everyone thinks about the
problem here as one of managing change. For most of this country, as we created
thousands and thousands of large organisations for the first time in human history, we
didn't have enough good managers to keep all those bureaucracies functioning. So many
companies and universities developed management programs and hundreds and thousands
of people were encouraged to learn management on the job. And they did. But, people were
taught little about leadership. To some degree, management was emphasised because it's
easier to teach than leadership. But even more so, management was the main item on the
twentieth-century agenda because that's what was needed. For every entrepreneur or
business builder who was a leader, we needed hundreds of managers to run their ever-
growing enterprises. Unfortunately for us today, this emphasis on management has often
been institutionalised in corporate cultures that discourage employees from learning how to
lead. Ironically, past success is usually the key ingredient in producing this outcome. The
syndrome, as I have observed it on many occasions, goes like this: success creates some
degree of marked dominance which in turn produces much growth. After a while keeping
the ever-larger organisation under control becomes the primary challenge. So attention
turns inward and managerial competencies are nurtured. With a strong emphasis on
management but not leadership, bureaucracy and an inward focus takeover. But with
continued success, the result mostly of market dominance, the problem often goes
unaddressed and an unhealthy arrogance begins to evolve. All of these characteristics then
make any transformation effort much more difficult. Arrogant managers can over-evaluate
their current performance and competitive position, listen poorly and learn slowly. Inwardly
focused employees can have difficulty seeing the very forces that present threats and
opportunities. Bureaucratic cultures can smother those who want to respond to shifting
conditions. And the lack of leadership leaves no force inside these organisations to break
out of the morass.

Q11. Why did companies and universities develop programmes to prepare

managers in such a large number?

a. (A) Companies and universities wanted to generate funds through these programmes
b. (B) The large number of organisations were created as they needed managers in good
number
c. (C) Organisations did not want to spend their scarce resources in training managers
d. (D) Organisations wanted to create communication network through trained managers

Q12. How has the author defined management?

a. It is the process of adapting organisations to changing circumstances.

b. It is the system of aligning people with the direction it has taken.
c. It refers to creating a vision to help direct the change effectively.
d. Creating better performance through customer orientation.

Q13. What is the historical reason for many organisations not having leadership?

a. A view that leaders are born, they are not made

b. Leaders lack managerial skills and organisations need managers
c. Leaders are weak in carrying out traditional functions of management
d. Leaders allow too much complacency in organisations

Q14. Which of the following characteristics help organisations in their

transformation efforts?

a. Emphasis on leadership but not management

b. A strong and dogmatic culture
c. Bureaucratic and inward looking approach 
d. Failing to acknowledge the value of customers and shareholders
