Disadvantages of Partnership

The partnership form of organization suffers from certain disadvantages also. These in brief are as follows.
Unlimited Liability
One of the critical defects of partnership is that the partners are individually and mutually answerable for all the debts of the firm. In case, the business suffers losses and the business assets are not adequate to satisfy the claimants, the personal properly of one or more than one partners can be sold under the court order for the clearance of the debts of the business. The rich and wealthy persons, therefore, avoid enlisting in partnership.         
Limited life of Firm
The period of the partnership is always unsure. If any partner dies, wounded, withdraw, sells his interest, or a new partner is admitted into the business, the old partnership may come to an end. There are every potential of the dissolution of the firm due to internal differences.
Frozen Investment
It is very easy for a partner to invest money but it is most difficult to withdraw the funds from the business. A person who desires to withdraw investment has to consult his partners, find a replacement with equal business capability. Unless the above condition is fulfilled, the funds remain difficult to transfer and as such remain a frozen investment which creates lack of interest.
Disputes among the Partners
The partners should be liked minded, have a common objective, be large hearted, have a cool character, should not unnecessarily cause friction and confusion among the partners. The choosing of partner is in fact like choosing a wife.  Marry in haste and repent in leisure. In case of dispute among the partners, quick action should be taken by all the partners for the remedial measures.
Lack of legal Rules
The partnership has not been able to take large scale enterprises due to ineffective legal rules and regulations.
Possibility of misuse of Resources
It is known to each and every partner that the resources of the firm are owned jointly. There can and does arise the misuse of resources by a partner /partners.
Loss of Business Opportunities
A delay may take place in decision making due to the differences among the partners. So this can cause loss to the firm.
Divided Control
In partnership, the organization ‘works is divided among the partners according to their capacity, variety and taste. Divided control and responsibility sometimes creates misunderstanding and delay in decisions making. The lack of effectiveness on the part of one partner can upset the entire structure of the business and ultimately lead to dissolution of the business.
Lack of Permanence
The life of Partnership is least permanent. The death, dispute or withdrawal of partner makes its life uncertain.
Lack of Public Confidence
Partnership form of organization may not have public confidence due to lack of advertising and lack of regulation.
Risk and implied Authority


In partnership form of organization, each partner binds other partner by his act done on behalf of the firm. Thus the other partners may have to pay for the follies and dishonesty of a fellow partner.

Levels of Leadership

Leadership is key components of any organization. Without leader organization could not formulate and implemented his strategies.Leadership influence the other people they are worked in the organization.Leadership can be group into three levels:

Top Level of Leadership 

Macro planning is done by the top level leadership. Some procedure are sued while formulating any policy and planning at the Top level Management.

At high level;  problems  are  high  and  at  lower  level,  problems  are  also  lower.  In  other  words,  if we  move  from  lower  to  top  level,  problems  arise,  difficulties  come  in  front  and fluctuation evolve in the process of leading and supervisor becomes weak at some extent.

Current trend in Leadership


The current trends in leadership are transactional leadership, charismatic Leadership and transformational leadership.These leadership style are discussed as under.

Transactional Leadership 

The  political  scientist  and  historian  James  Macgregor  Burns  (1978)  developed  a term  of  transactional  leadership  to  describe  an  approach  in  which  managers  motivate employees  to  perform  as  expected  by  clarifying  task  requirements  and  by  providing rewards  in  exchange  for  employee  efforts  towards  achieving  the  goals.  The  reciprocal mutual exchange of work for pay and other exchanges that takes place occur throughout whole  time  to  the  organization  help  all  organization  members  satisfied  about  working together toward attaining everyday goals.    Transactional  leadership  can  be  more  effective  in  the  environment  of  everyday management, where the focus is on maintaining current organizational performance or on dealing  with  well  –  structural  problems.  When managers apply transactional leadership, they are staying on course toward established goals by handling routine tasks efficiently and effectively.

Charismatic Leadership 

Max Weber, a sociologist, was the first person to discuss charismatic leadership. He  defined  charisma  from  the  Greek  for  “gift”  as  a  certain  quality  of  an  individual personality,  by  virtue  of  which  he  is  set  apart  from  ordinary  people  and  treated  as endowed  with  supernatural,  superhuman  or  at  least  specifically  exceptional  powers  or qualities.  These  are  not  accessible  to  the  ordinary  person,  but  are  regarded  as  of  divine origin or as exemplary, and on the basis of these the individual concerned is treated as a leader.  Weber  argued  that  charismatic  leadership  was  one  of  several  ideal  types  of authority.
Robert House was the first researcher to consider charismatic leadership in terms of organization behavior. According to House’s charismatic leadership theory, followers make  attributions  of  heroic  or  extraordinary  leadership  abilities  when  they  observe certain behaviors.

Transformational Leadership 


In  transformational  leadership  the  leaders  motivate  their  followers  to  increase their  own  benefits  for  the  betterment  of  the  organization  and  they  effect  deeply  and surprising  on  their  followers.  They focus on the coming damages and follower’s individual needs. They help the followers to solve their problems and try to change their mind from the issues. They have cap ability to awake, motivate and encourage followers to work hard and to achieve the group goals.  Transformational leaders guide and co-operate their followers to become innovative and creative. They work according to the goals.  The  followers  of  transformational  leaders  try  to  achieve the  desired  goals  of  the organization and believe that the goals they are trying to achieve are important for them. Transformational  leaders  have  some  common  characteristics;  sincerity,  develop  the organization  as a family, develop personal relationships, encourage social relationships serve as a role model, collective approach, innovation, and team work.

Leadership Behaviour


Leadership  is  an  important  criteria  for  maintenance  and  improvement  of  the quality of staff and the organization. As it is the critical factor for allocating and targeting roles and facilities in order to achieve the goals. Leadership has attracted the attention of sociologist, social psychologist and political scientists in various contexts. No unanimity is,  however,  found  on  the  precise  meaning  of  the  term  among  the  different  social scientists.

Without  a  good  leader  the  staff  and  organization  cannot  be  developed. Functionally speaking, leadership is to induce or persuade  all subordinates or followers, to  contribute  with  cheerful  readiness  or  organizational  goals  as  warranted  by  their capabilities. Leadership is in fact the rare ability to inspire. Leadership acts as a backbone within the system of an organization because it is the basic criteria for the balance and betterment of the quality of an organization. It has got the attention of various sociologists, psychologists and politicians toward itself. They look  upon  this  term  with  various  directions  and  there  is  no  agreement  on  the  accurate meaning of this term. The sociologists must have to study it deeply and also have become conversant with its exposed and dormant realities.  But  they  understand  it  very  complex and  difficult  term  that  is  why  these  are  not  agrees  to  know  about  the  concept  of leadership.


Leadership inspires the others to do their jobs in order to achieve goals. So a good Leader runs an organization in a sensible way and behaves rationally with his subordinates to get maximum output.

Function of Management Process


According  to  the  my point  of  view  a good  planners  and  managers  in  an organization  such function kept in mind to control and manage the organization. Management process can be briefly described as follows:

Planning 

In order to enhance the process of management, to minimize the intermixing and to drop the extraordinary things, plans are made. This planning is done by keeping views ideas, policies, methodology, aims and proper guidance in mind.  And this way leads towards the destination.

Organizing 

After formulation of strategies, ideas, planning, aims, purposes and objectives, there are organized in a specific manner. This step of organizing the things involves the participation of all members in the form of coordinated efforts.

Staffing 

Through this step, eligible persons are selected for each job.  On  the  basis,  of qualifications,  experience,  competency  conceivably  and  his  foresight  staffing  is  done. Staffing functions, compensation (salaries and allowances / leave bonuses) transfers, resignations, retirement, terminations, pensions are major elements that are kept in mind while staffing.

Directing 

Through motivation and proper guidance, it is possible to get maximum outcomes from employees.

Leading

Behind  a  good  management  process,  there  is  the  hand  of  good  leader.  A  lot  of  books have been written on the leadership, models are prepared for leaderships, so many theories  are  on  the  topic  of  leadership,  so  much  processes  and  techniques  focus  the leadership process but our concern with leadership is just for communication process as an interpersonal influence in the management process to get long lasting goals.

Problem solving 

It is specialty of a good manager to cope with the difficulties, to grapple with the  problem  and  to  solve  all  the  puzzles  within  no  time  in  a  management  process.  In  early times, problems are solved through following steps, things are recognized first, then their analysis  is  done,  all  the  fact  and  figure  are  collected,  hypothetically  solutions  are researched  out,  among  these  solutions  most  appropriate  solution  was  applied.  But according  to  modern  concept,  problem  solving  has  a  close  relationship  with  conflicts management,  with  the  development  of  an  organization  and  making  and  taking  of  any decision.

Motivating 


The most important step in the management process is motivation.  Without motivation, process of management will not be so effective. The motivation can be given through various ways like by threading someone. This type of motivation is known to as fear motivation. Sometimes motivation is through the use of incentives.

Coordinating 

At  the  place  of  management  problems  arise  due  to  the  fictionalization  and separation of labor. So it is responsibility of upper management to resolve the problems by collaboration and interests of each person that is the member of organization. Through this step, the future of organization can be secured. Because, by unity and coordination, organization can bear fruit and will be very close to the destination.

Innovating 

According  to  latest  style  of  world,  due  to  the  rapid  process  in  science  and technology,  due  to  excess  of  resources  and  conditions,  the  management  also  demands versatility.  It  requires  new  method  of  jobbing,  handling  of  staff,  getting  more  and  more salaries  and  improving  the  performances.  All these things are functions of treat ability and innovations.

Controlling 

This factor basically compares the results obtained before planning in the past and after the planning. It acts as a standard to measures the parlance obtained after planning. Sometime,  the  management  function  also  has  some  decision  making  communication, coordination, human relations leadership and problem solving.

 Budgeting 

It is major source to put all the struggles of organization into their proctor. This budgeting is done on the basis of past performances of organization and future aspects by judging the various factors sensibly. Moreover, planning coordination and controlling are major goals of budgeting.

Decision making

Decision  making  is  necessary  step  during  all  process  of  management  that  is mostly  done  by  managers.  Different people have given different views about decision making.  There are different classes about this decision making process.  Actually,  this process  involves  following  main  steps;  to  identify  the  problems,  to  give  the  exact  idea about that problem, to sort out various possible and solutions of that problem, select the most favorable solution, apply the stetted solution    While performing the process of decision making, decisions must be effective and should target the exact point.

Human Relations 

This factor signaling towards the important point workers and colleagues must be treated as human not as animals.  Moral values, ethics, relationships and aspirations are kept in mind during this process of management.

Reporting / Communication

Communication plays a central role during management process.  Through the process of communication, leadership can be made more effective.  For this purpose, a manager must be in contact with his inferior ranked officer and appreciate and encourage their work if they are doing something well. This communication process can be carried out  through  any  of  the  medium  like  circular,  letters,  conferences,  telephone  notice, memos,  files  etc.  Vertical and horizontal type of communication network is best.  But it must be to and from all the directions.
