Internal Stakeholders include directors, employees, managers, workers and shareholders.

External stakeholders includes

Clients

Suppliers

Competitors

Financial Institutions

(www.boundless.com › … › Overview of Key Elements of the Business)

Stakeholder’s communication

Stakeholders are the people who have an impact on the success or failure of a concern. It includes both internal and external stakeholders with different interests, attitudes and priorities. Communication is must to provide information as per their needs to build a positive attitude in the company. It helps the organization in following ways:

It creates understanding

All stakeholders need to be informed to have an environment of understanding to know the objectives of the organisation. Communication with employees is must to keep them aware of vision, mission. And with shareholders it helps to attract the funds. It will help to have the positive image in the eyes of community and government too.

Influence on stakeholders

Communication helps to build positive relationships with people and organizations like media or other interested groups, who can manipulate other stakeholders easily.

Healthy Relationships

Regular communication with different stakeholders helps in creating a positive understanding to build long-term associations with key groups. Communicating with customers can put the company in a strong position to persuade their buying decisions. Supplier communications help to build a supply chain that is aligned with organizations needs.

Westpac has proper system of communicating with its stakeholders through stakeholder’s engagement framework.

So it is committed to best practice, transparent and regular reporting to enable stakeholders to compare its performance over time. (www.westpac.com.au/about-westpac/sustainability/the-way-we-work/approach-to-reporting/)

ETHICS IN LEADERSHIP

Describe the role of the leader in addressing ethical issues for an organisation.

All the organizations have a well defined code of ethics that guide the organization in its policies and decisions regarding business. The ethical values of an organization can affect the status, efficiency and bottom line of the business.

So the ethics used by the leaders in an organization to manage employees have direct effect on their morale and loyalty. The code of ethics leaders use defines the acceptable behaviour of all workers in an organization. The leaders with high ethical standards encourage their followers to meet that same level. Ethical leadership enhances the company’s reputation in the financial market and society. A solid reputation for ethics and integrity in the community may improve the company’s business.

Ethical leader always leads to positive and healthy corporate culture that improves the morale among workers to increase productivity and employee retention. Higher levels of productivity improve the efficiency of the company.

(smallbusiness.chron.com/importance-ethics-organizations-20925.html)

Describe how effective leaders engage in ethical and socially and culturally appropriate decision-making.

Effective leaders are those who make decisions not for himself but for his team keeping in mind the ethical, social and cultural values. So he has to motivate and encourage his followers to perform as desired for the success of the organization. He has to make them follow the Code that describes the standards of conduct expected from the employees of any organization .Even the leaders in Westpac has to follow these codes while making decisions like:

We act with honesty and integrity
We comply with laws and our policies
We do the right thing by our customers
We respect confidentiality and do not misuse information
We value and maintain our professionalism
We work as a team
We manage conflicts of interest responsibly.

It is the leaders who have to be socially and culturally acceptable must have the feeling that he directly or indirectly accountable for everything happening in the organization.

(www.westpac.com.au/docs/pdf/aw/code-of-conduct.pdf)

Identify how the person you identified in (a) demonstrates ethical, and socially and culturally appropriate decision-making

David McLean is considered as good and successful leader in terms of winning in the market and delivering good outcomes to customers. Being a New Zealander his act reflects the values and ethics of his country. McLean always advised and mentored his followers without any distinction. He always favored the role of women leadership in banking institution as he thinks they are more capable of performing their duties.

He advocated the technological changes to meet the need of customers. He is keen to fulfill the stakeholder expectations. Under his guidance the bank is contributing to control the global warming. The bank decided it won’t bank people who are payday lenders means the exploiters of the poorest people in society.

(www.westpac.com.au/about-westpac/westpac-group/…/principles-policies)

Make appropriate recommendations for ethical and socially and culturally appropriate decision-making.

All the leaders are well aware of the fact in decision making all the three ethics, social and cultural elements play a crucial role. They together define the morality of the organization. It will help the outsiders to easily adjudge the principles of the company. To ensure this all the employees are monitored by their leaders and they perform as per the directions of the leader. So it is responsibility of the leaders to make use of cultural values while making decisions. So the decision taken by him should include ethics and cultural values like integrity and honesty. Cultural values and personals traits play very important role in decision making process.

(ww.nacada.ksu.edu/Resources/Clearinghouse/View-Articles/Values-and-culture-in-ethical-decision-making.aspx)

Consider the leader you described in 1.a. What challenges and issues does this leader face? Recommend strategies to resolve the issues they face that will still ensure they maintain strategic business relationships.

Poor Financial capability: The poor financial capability of many New Zealanders due to unemployment is the biggest challenge David has to face.

Changing Scenario: The customer preferences and expectations are rapidly changing due to technology. So it is another issue for David to deal with to win the confidence of its customers in banking.

Global Issues like competition from other banks.

High Rate of Mortgages

High Property Rate

Flat Economy

NPA

High Rate of Interest

All the above mentioned challenges and issues are the threat for the existence of bank. So the CEO has to handle them to sustain the strategic business relationship with bank customers. He can use the following recommended strategies:

1. To overcome the problem of poor financial capability of New Zealand people they have to gather information and sharing it with others businesses, and community groups and government to find the solution and to increase the employment opportunities in the country.

2. To meet the expectations of changing Scenario of the customers he has to frame strategies for both the technical demanding customers and the others who still believe to visit the branch to solve their problems. He needs to train his staff accordingly.

3. He has to make the banking simpler and better in tune with the customers to survive the big challenge of globalization.

PERSONAL LEADERSHIP

Evaluate the styles, attributes and behaviors that make a leader effective.

The leadership Styles may include autocratic, democratic, transformational and cross cultural etc. Each style has its own benefits and limitations so their applicability varies from organization to other. So we have following types of leaders suitable in different situations and make them effective:
Telling leader – The leader actually tells the followers what to do and least concerned about the relationships within the group. This approach is used when members are new, inexperienced, and need direction in order to get the job done.

Selling leader – Selling leader often persuade the members to buy into a job. The direction and guidance by the leader is still needed at all the levels but the group is a little more experienced.
Participating leader – The leader and the members participate in the decisions making. The leader puts emphasis on the group relationship than on the task. They support and praise the members.
Delegating leader – The one who trusts the group to decide and carry out the responsibility on its own. The members are experienced and capable of doing the job. The members can direct themselves.
Attributes and behaviour of effective leaders:

Honest: The leaders are credible so they have trust and confidence of their people.
Committed: They keep their promises and follow through on their commitments.
Consistent: Their actions are consistent with the wishes of the people they lead.
Believe in Others: They believe in the inherent worth of others.
They admit their mistakes. They never blame others for failure.
They create a trusting and open climate.
They help others to be successful and to feel empowered.
They encourage members to do more but not much.
They do not act as the decision maker. But also ready to work alongside the team.

Other Attributes are:

They are good listener
They are good delegator
Ready to handle the odd situations

(managementhelp.org/leadership/traits/leader.htm)

Apply these descriptions to yourself as a leader.

After study the attributes and behaviour of effective leaders I come across the following qualities of myself that are must to become a successful leaders:

● Curiosity

● Enthusiasm

● Hard worker

● Passionate

● Goal oriented

No reference in case of my personal qualities.

Which of these is already well developed? What is the evidence?

I am ready to face challenges and competition: I am staying far from my home country and family.
I am optimistic: I am a positive thinker that believes that nothing is impossible.
I am desperate to learn new things: My keenness to learn new things make me ready for future that is ever changing.
I am Hard Worker: I can work round the clock to achieve my targets.

Which of these needs developing?

As mentioned earlier I already have some attributes to become an effective leader but still I need to work on the development of following:

I am not a good delegator as I prefer to work alone and single handedly.

I am quite reserve and hesitant to communicate with others.

I have to work on my limitation of overburdening myself with unnecessary work.

Develop a plan for yourself using SMART criteria for developing these attributes and behaviours

To develop the attributes and behavior of becoming an effective and successful leader I will apply SMART criteria it means Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

To look at leadership development like a SMART goal, consider starting with the goal that you want to accomplish – such as to become a better or more practiced leader, and think about how you can apply SMART criteria. What is your development plan set a goal and make a plan

Specific: I have clear goal in my mind to develop my communication skills the absence of which leads to many problems.

Measurable means I have to keep a check on my achievements. For this I take feedback from my seniors, peer group and subordinates to know my limitations. It will help me work on them.

Achievable: I first try to work on my communication by attending short courses on communication and personality development program. As I have one year of time to do all this.

Relevant: Without communication skills I won’t be able to achieve my goal of becoming good leader. So by joining crash courses I can develop my skills.

Time-bound: I have one complete year to achieve my goals. It indicates a deadline.

1. Communication skill development- Through crash courses on communication- 5 months

2. Personality Development By attending such workshops and motivational programs-6 months

Development plan simple but workable

Summarize what you have learned about leadership from this paper.

The thing I learned about leadership is that it is the toughest job because it is not an easy task for this one needs to have courage and capabilities to come out of the odds. Moreover this paper help to analyze the various skills like motivating and communicating the team members is must for an effective leadership. It helped me to see the qualities of Charismatic and visionary leaders. It also motivated me to overcome my weaknesses to become a good leader.

As leaders I have to face the certain challenges so I need to have some strategies to handle the situation as follows:

By setting mine example to inspire my followers to work hard.

By motivating others work hard to reach their personal targets

By having free flow of information and face to face talk I will develop my team members.

Before introducing any change first I take them in confidence to analyze the need and importance of change then motivate them to accept the change.

Ethical Issues

To handle the ethical issues as a leader I will follow the principles:

I will set clear guidelines and norms for ethical behavior in their organizations.

Open communication and Transparency

Consistency in my core values

I will try to follow my own ethical standard to inspire my employees as an indication I always stand by my core values. For inculcating the habit that workers should treat everyone with respect, I have to show it for them by not disparaging them at all.

Clear Policies

I will frame clear policies in the terms of mission statements, rules, regulations and practices. And I will make sure to convey all these policies to all the employees in black and white.

Healthy Atmosphere

By providing them a free workplace culture to give suggestion and introducing innovations with the support of top management. I will ensure this.

No Discrimination: By following the policy of non discrimination on basis of language or sex I will introduce an atmosphere of fair and equality.
