It has come as no surprise that the United States Postal Service lost money in the first two quarters of 2010. $8.5 billion to be exact. Next year they, plan to lose even more. Somewhere in between $9 billion to $10 billion dollars. The problem will not be as simple to fix, but it is a problem that can be resolved with a few simple implementations and cost cutting options. Overspending and undercharging has led to needing to cut cost and raise prices. The USPS is trying to do both, but it requires Congressional approval and some simple economics. Here is what should be done in solving this problem.…

Successful organizations need leaders at every level, whether be CEO of a Fortune 500 company, coach of a NFL team, or manager of a local supermarket. Effective leadership builds confidence amongst the participants of an organization, in addition to acting as the catalyst for the aspects of the organization to work in tandem. Fortunately, being a leader does not require a certain title or degree. Leadership is an “attitude, not a position” (Grant et al. IHI, 2017). A leader is one who “creates conditions that enable and encourage others to achieve a shared goal through collective action” (Bohmer, 2013). Therefore, everyone can be a leader in a distinct way.…

An organization without a leader with a vision may be destined to fail. In the same respect, an organization without a qualified manager to carry out that vision could be in total chaos. It may be possible for the role of leader and manager to be played by the same person; but in all likelihood, they are portrayed by two totally different individuals; especially if within a large organization such as the United States Postal Service (Postal Service). The Postal Service™ delivers hundreds of millions of messages each day to more than 141 million homes and businesses. The Postal Service has been operating for over two centuries and to give a prospective of how long that is; Benjamin Franklin was its first leader as postmaster general. The district and plant managers take the postmaster general’s vision to base their strategies to achieve the business’ goals. Having endured many changes throughout history, beginning with Benjamin Franklin, the leader and managers together had to have the vision and the drive to help the business thrive as long as it has (USPS, 2008).…

As effective leadership empowers employees to achieve a high level of customer service. This empowerment increases self-efficacy within all aspects of an organization from the quality of the product to the helpfulness of the sales force. These assets; quality and good customer service, are what customers look for in a company and these same assets keep customers returning.…
Almost all types of organization function successfully with an effective leader. We have substantial evidence that skilful leaders have the ability to raise the productivity of the organization. Hence, most studies were done to seek to explain what leadership is and to identify the characteristic of the people who are successful in its leadership practice. Various leadership theories came out. Kurt Lewin identified leadership styles in three categories: Autocratic Leadership, Democratic Leadership and Delegative Leadership (Lippitt, 1939). Max Weber classifies leaders as Bureaucratic Leader, Traditional Leaders and Charismatic Leaders. In 1978 Burns defined yet another classification: Transactional Leaders and Transformational Leaders. Burns Transformational Leadership is similar to Charismatic Leadership style proposed by Weber. Many of the research have been done on various aspects of charismatic leadership.…
