This was an essay I did for Psychology. We were meant to discuss how leadership affects a modern business. I admit, it needs a bit of work, but it was the only essay I could find that I could submit here :P

As my Enterprise I simply chose a generic large Corporation. For the sake of the exercise, this fictional enterprise will be called Globex Corp.

Globex Corp.’s activities lie in producing and marketing computer software, but this is irrelevant. I am going be playing the part of a division manager. Under my direct control are ten people, all in charge of different aspects of the division, and under them are the blue collar work-force.

The scenario is, my division has to finish producing a product and properly market it, in time for a deadline. This is where the exercise begins:

The Troops are my workers and my board. They must always have high morale, as this is a make or break element, they must always be devoted to the task at hand and they must all be disciplined to do exactly as they are told.

Examples of the tasks I will assign my board include ‘Market Research’, ‘Development’, ‘Accounting’, ‘Morale/Efficiency’ and many more. Each member will have a specific task similar to the ones above, so they will feel as if they are special and crucial to the task, which indeed they are. This will all help to increase productivity and efficiency.

and uses them, will surely be victorious,

So it looks as if the choice will be a democratic system, which will provide good efficiency, high morale if operated properly and the best overall result.
