What are Supervisors?
An Autocratic style is most effective during this type of situation, where there is no time for discussion.
What is an Emergency (or Crisis)?
Engaging in CSR can help a company with this—the process of keeping talented employees from quitting.
What is employee retention?
A manager is forced to choose between spending a remaining budget on high-end employee training (Human Capital) or a new automated machine that does the work of three people. According to Slide 3 and Slide 17, choosing the machine might solve a "Money" input issue, but it could critically damage this specific "Organizational Practice" necessary for long-term culture and employee retention.
What is Corporate Social Responsibilty?
This function (also called Leading) involves motivating and guiding staff.

What is High Employee Morale (or Engagement)?
CSR helps improve this—how the public and customers view the company.
What is company reputation or image?
A major goal, like launching a new smartphone, will fail without "HR Coordination." Even if the Planning and Organizing functions are perfect, the project will collapse if this specific "Skeleton" is not clearly defined, leaving the Support Staff and Supervisors with no system to direct their activities.
What is Organizational Structure?
Setting a budget and "Standard of Excellence" falls under this function.
What is Planning?
Managers of specific departments, like Marketing or Sales, work with HR to perform these two tasks for their teams.
What are hiring and training?
This type of leader focuses on "The Big Picture" by inspiring employees, building a shared vision, and encouraging staff to innovate and exceed their own self-interests for the sake of the organization.
What is Transformational?
Beyond just making money, CSR focuses on this: making sure the business is useful to the world.
What is Value Creation?
If a company's "Human Capital" is failing to meet a goal, a manager must determine if the problem is a Staffing issue (hired the wrong people) or a Controlling issue (the standards set were impossible). Identifying which function failed is the ultimate test of this "Fixer" skill.
