Content:
Introduction
Communication and Leadership
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For a future at HealthSouth, strong leadership based on values will remain key. This type of leadership involved a certain level of emotional intelligence where feelings of powerful do not become overwhelming. Of course if leadership and responsibility are equally shared, then power will be as well. The key to effective leadership does not come from charisma but from integrity and sharing information. Hughes (2004) writes an effective leader will have impact upon their team and this is "apparent in the growing interest over the past decade in topics like the leader's genuineness, authenticity, credibility and trustworthiness" (p. 3). A leader's reflection of these attributes is found in their level of connectedness with employees. As a result leaders are more interested in mentoring and training their team rather than focusing on output of numbers or turn around time. These qualities are a good indicator for selecting a potential manager. This development in team building allows for "providing people opportunities to learn from their work rather than taking them away from their work to learn" (Hughes 4). "

The concept of quality is then discussed with an emphasis on quality in a financial institution. Finally, the Toyota production system is examined relative to its production efficiencies and operational advantages.
From the Paper
"The field of operations is most often associated with the compendium of processes and ongoing projects that form the nexus of an enterprise's line of business (LOB). That is, it is the sum of all the processes and projects that are required for the enterprise to produce its product or service on a daily basis. These processes and projects are usually associated with the following activities: sourcing or procurement, production or manufacturing, quality control or management, inventory, logistics, facilities control, and distribution. The term operational efficiency implies that these activities are undertaken and accomplished with the least commitment of resources in terms of time and cost, necessary to produce the product or service without compromising quality. While related, operation effectiveness implies that not only is the enterprise's product or service produced efficiently with minimal investment of resources but that a useful product or service is the result of the..."

From the Paper
"By looking at such elements of the operations process, it helps create a strategy for management to look to new technologies to use across the board when it comes to implementing changes to increase productivity and efficiency while reducing overall costs. This may mean changing the corporate strategy on many levels to better reflect a company's core values and to add new ones. A strategy is not a cookie cutter or one size fits all. It is important to understand in essence that many factors contribute to successful and effective operations and management of the supply chain. Upon looking at different aspects of operations it is easy to see a direct relationship between its success and the success of the product's ability to build a customer relationship and long-term loyalty."

The Xerox Corporation.
This paper discusses the role of the Xerox Corporation as a model corporate citizen.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Xerox Corporation works aggressively to minimize the impact its products have on the environment and to encourage its employees to be socially active in supporting their community. The author points out that the Xerox Corporation's help in protecting the environment by recycling 65% of the toner cartridges used in their machines and re-manufacturing machines, which also carry the same warranties as new machines, has been good business. The paper relates that a unique program of the Xerox Foundation is to grant employees paid sabbaticals, from three to twelve months in duration, to pursue activities away from their regular work at Xerox, such as working with battered women, mentoring troubled children, working with people who have AIDS, or developing more community resources for those who take care of the elderly.
From the Paper
"When a company provides both manufacturing and service, it becomes profitable for them to produce products that are durable, easily repaired, and eventually recycled. This is the approach Xerox took when it shifted its marketing emphasis from the selling of copying machines to the leasing of copying machines. Where decades ago they focused on selling copier equipment, now they lease, and have an incentive to extend the usefulness of their equipment."
