SummaryThe mistakes that leaders make in the context of strategy implementation are often the result of a narcissistic behavior which denies the participation of subordinates in the strategic decision making. Narcissistic leadership refuses updating obsolete organizational knowledge, participating to team schemes and active listening, resulting in a lack of confidence from organizational members towards top management. This paper identifies narcissist leadership as a major reason of failure in strategy implementation impacting profoundly the organizational welfare.

SummaryLaw enforcement is a unique field which is highly dependent on human resource development (HRD) but is often times lacking in individual training and support. Regardless of the type of law enforcement officer (LEO), individuals in this field take numerous risks and may witness disturbing actions or scenes. As such, HRD must consider the emotional state of officers as much, if not more, than other elements such as training. Few law enforcement organizations provide full spectrum training which includes cognitive, classroom and affective (emotional) training.

SummaryLearning organizations develop and sustain an environment, which stimulates the power of learning in all organizational members, allowing organizational flexibility and adaptability. Successful organizations use the power of learning in order to produce the maximum benefit for the organization, but also to communicate to the workforce that the key element for organizational success is not cumulative knowledge, but the ability to exploit new learning opportunities at a fast pace.
Moreover, increasing market rivalry necessitates organizational flexibility. Modern organizations need to be incessantly ready to adapt to new market realities, mainly because the bargaining power of buyers and suppliers defines the market conditions, requiring from the organizations flexible organizational structures.
Within this context, leadership needs to build adequate structures and to provide to all organizational members new learning opportunities. During the transformation process, the mental models of how organizational members perceive organizational culture need to shift towards a new perspective. The process of organizational transformation through organizational learning causes creative tension.
This paper investigates creative tension as a principle of learning organization. After defining a learning organization in section 1, I present the principles of a learning organization. In section 2, I investigate how creative tension occurs in a learning organization, how it relates to organizational achievement and what is the role of leadership in this process. Conclusions are presented in section 3, while References complete this paper.

SummaryTheory holds that working together brings better results than working alone. Team structures often account for organizational success in the contemporary corporate environment. Modern organizations favor team structures and teamwork viewing them as key elements for organizational success.
This paper identifies and explains the basic attributes of a team structure (common vision and mission, defined roles or functions, complementary skills, equal effort, synergy and equal responsibility), which along with the advanced attributes (team leadership, mutual performance monitoring, backup behavior, adaptability and team orientation) facilitate team effectiveness. The paper analyzes also the cognitive aspects involved in team structures identifying interpersonal conflict, open conflict, team diversity, and trust as the cognitive barriers that the organization should overcome in order to avoid as ineffective teamwork and/or failure of a team structure.
Keywords: effective teamwork, synergy, interpersonal conflict, adaptability, trust

SummaryNursing management remains a critical component in today's healthcare. Due to a wide array of factors, the number of nurse managers is diminishing, and the healthcare industry is scrambling to stop this trend from continuing. Research and surveys have shown that the nurses are generally overworked and stressed because of the interminable nursing shortage that society has been facing for the past century. Researchers aim to discover why the shortage exists in the first place, and must tackle issues about gender stereotyping, financial rewards, as well as respect and recognition. The following articles will mention some of these ideas and reveal that many nurses lack the latter. These concerns also illustrate how effective nurse management can contribute to a better healthcare environment for the nursing staff as well as patient care.

SummaryIt is first important to understand management in general in order to understand how it had developed through the years from the 17th century until presents. The basic concept behind management is that it is the field in human behavior wherein the manager needs to plan, organize, direct, and control the human capital and financial resources that an organization has.
Throughout the years, management had developed gradually but surely. It is actually in the industrial revolution where most of the management theories were developed by notable economists and it was only during the 19th century when management was established as a separate field of study. There are trends in management that can be observed in distinct phases. In order to appreciate the importance of the earlier theories which is the administrative theory and the scientific management theory, it is important to have an overview of how management have developed throughout the years and how it affects the present management practices today.
The first kinds of theories can be referred to as the classical theory. In is in this theory where the bureaucratic theory, the scientific management theory, and the administrative theory can be found. The classical theory is mostly concerned about the factors of productivity and efficiency.
The second is the neoclassical theory which includes the human classical theory and the behavioral theory. The neoclassical theory is mainly concerned about the importance of human resources in the workplace. It therefore emphasizes the importance of humans in the organization because it recognizes that people have a social need and this can be a factor that can affect their productivity.
Then the last theory is the modern management theory. This includes the system theory and the contingency theory. Basically, this management theory is concerned about the overall environmental influences in the organization and how the organization should react to meet these situations.
In this report, we will focus on the classical theory because this is the foundation in which all other theories have been developed. Classical management is also referred to as the traditional management. It focuses on the bureaucratic, scientific, and administrative management.
