Project work Under supervision of: Rafal Majewski

Bialystok 2012

Introduction Hierarchical organization: An organization in which power and responsibility are clearly specified and allocated to individuals according to their standing or position in the hierarchy. Military formations are the classic example of such organizations where decisions are made by the leader and passed down through the levels of the hierarchy for implementation in conformity with a strict chain of command. While suited to routine and clearly specifies tasks they leave little room for flexibility or initiative. Leadership vision of the desired result, an understanding of concepts, missions, priorities and the allocation of resources, an ability to assess people and risks Many authors of textbooks compare the management and command. In this work we will show the similarities and differences of these phenomena on the example of militsiya (state service with the functions of the police). The police and the management have very many similarities. They are: Environment a large number of people which do the same. Hierarchy - the collective body of those so organized - all persons participating in the activities comply with the chain of command. Organization (in the case management) or departments (police) are divided into levels or positions. Each employee or police officer is obliged to submit to their supervisor, as well as all those above him on the job.1 Responsibilities - each employee has well-defined duties which he must perform. For the employee these obligations prescribed in the contract, and a policeman in the statute. The system of duties depends on his position. When you assign a new rank or position the employee gets new responsibilities.

Management
Management is the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively8. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources and natural resources. Since organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. This view opens the opportunity to 'manage' oneself, a pre-requisite to attempting to manage others.

Purposes of management9
Plan - strategic and short term, setting goals Lead- delegate to employees, leadership, lead the market Organize- how will the companys resources be used Control- when goals are not met, the reason for variance must be

identified and fixed.

Typical duties and responsibilities of manager

Staffing - it's up to the manager to have an exhaustive knowledge of the business's needs

and how to hire to meet those needs. But it's also vital to know the proper amount of staff.

Training - First and foremost, develop an efficient and effective training program. A

uniform plan needs to be in place for everyone to be on the same page. Having the proper training program in place softens the blow.

Scheduling - Effective scheduling is important on several fronts. Just like staffing, you

need to be dialed in to your company's needs and schedule the right amount of staff for any given

task. Previous trends, time of year and special events or projects are a few examples of things to be mindful of. Another key component with scheduling involves communication with your employees.

Quality Control - Many companies have designated departments for this, but quality

control always falls under a manager's jurisdiction in some form. Employees' performance must be monitored to ensure company standards are being met. The work done ultimately falls on you, for better or worse.

Customer/Client Satisfaction - As a manager, it's your responsibility to monitor your

client's opinion of your business. You must know if their needs are being met. You'll look for areas for improvement. Customer service, especially in the face of a recent bad experience, is a learning opportunity.

Development - Your supervisors appreciate your feedback. Take stock of what works doesn't in regards to company policies, Report what you've learned.

Qualifications needed by manager10 Minimum skills and abilities required for manager in general

Communication skills - Theres a lot of communication when youre a manager. You have to

communicate with each of your employees. You have to communicate sideways with your coworkers and customers. And you have to communicate upwards with your own manager or executive.

Listening skills Some managers get so impressed with themselves that they spend much more of their time telling people things than they spend listening.

A Commitment to the truth - Youll find that the higher you are in the management hierarchy, the less likely you are to be in touch with reality. Managers get a lot of brown-nosing, and people tend to sugar-coat the news and tell managers what they want to hear. The only way youll get the truth is if you insist on it. Listen to what people tell you, and ask questions to probe for the truth.

Predisposition to empathy - This is the softer side of listening and truth. You should be able to understand how people feel, why they feel that way, and what you can do to make them feel differently.

Additional skills and abilities required for manager in general

Ability of wise division of Work - Its a tricky skill maybe more an art than a science, almost like cutting a diamond. Ideally you want to figure out how to accomplish a large objective by dividing the work up into manageable chunks.

Ability to remove the obstacles - Inevitably, problems will occur. Your ability to solve them is critical to the ongoing success of your organization. Skills in removing the uncertainties

Project Management - Management implies a focus on people, while Project Management implies a focus on the project objective.

Administrative and Financial Skills - Most managers have a budget, and youll have to be able to set the budget and then manage to it.

Free Management Library: Typical Responsibilities of a Manager

Decisions take into account the best interests of the employees as well as the business. 3. Democratic The manager allows the employees to take part in decision-making: therefore everything is agreed upon by the majority. 4. Laissez fair The leader's role is as a mentor and stimulator, and staffs manage their own areas of the business.

Conclusion In each of the areas under consideration, we observe a hierarchical chain of command. For personnel required similar skills and abilities, such as communication skills, listening skills, ability to analyze situation and adapt to effective actions in the best way, leadership skills and mane other. Army and police can be considered as an example of a typical organization which obeys the laws therefore effectively management of command cannot exist without effective leadership Command and management, in fact, have the same purposes: to organize system In the best way to solve the problems, achieve goals and motivate workers to do their best. Also its very important both to commander and manager to create a well image, because not only relationships between leader and subordinates mostly depend on it but also and relation of other people. No company or military structure can work effectively and achieve its aims, if everybody dont like the structure and relate to it with suspicious. Military formations are the classic example of such organizations where decisions are made by the leader and passed down through the levels of the hierarchy for implementation in conformity with a strict chain of command. Considering all the similarities and differences we can conclude that the command and management is largely similar phenomenon.
