Apart from this, cold calling, putting hoardings, word of mouth, distributing pamphlets can also help in promoting the event.If benefits are provided to the people who are participating and contributing, they can show their zeal to join such events. Benefits like recognition, promoting their image, souvenir, certificate distribution, can be used to bring enthusiasm in them which will further help in their participation and promoting the event.Process to collect the revenue: The following process can be used to collect revenue: Application form to be provided through social sites or a hard copy of it can be provided through office.Filling of application form by applicantsVerification code to be sending to verify their identityCollection of revenueReceiving receipt for paymentDistributing pamphlets for eventTo the team of volunteers: They can be provided pertinent information about the purpose of such event and contribution required.

Read the Great Game of Business by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham to learn how.My thoughts on the testWhen it comes to week one's test scores, I agree with their test results. I am used to dealing with so many complex situations with different people where I have always found a situation to make everything fall in place. For example, when I was a manager at the grocery store, most of the time I had to handle complex issues when there were not enough cashiers at night. To overcome upstairs customers, I asked everyone to stay a half of hours; some agreed, and some disagreed. but by doing that, it made it easy for the workplace and the customer service so everyone one could go home on time. When the next day came, I brought pizza for the cashiers who stayed to help me out that night. The test revealed that I have a strategy for different issues, but I feel I can only deal with one situationat a time. That is true; I feel my full attention should be handling that problem but even though I know how to handle most situations at the same time as well as handling one, the test talks about how I deal with different personalities good and bad, but I always get them to go along with my plan. That’s also true. I am a person who tries to get a person to see the big picture of the issue before judging the issue at hand.My final thoughts on what I think about management. A company needs you because the world changes and you can't run everything the same way forever. You could take the team members through minor disruptions and get them to improve processes along the way while keeping them happy and satisfied.You can improve your output by engaging the team in the real numbers of the business. You'll quickly surface hidden talents and energy that will make your team stand out.Read “The Great Game of Business “by Jack Stack and Bo Burlingham to learn how.We are in a very competitive economic environment today largely due to the massive impact of communication technology putting the world at our fingertips. In this scenario most of the successful brands and large organizations worldwide are creating fresh milestones in leadership excellence and over the top management, a no bars no boundaries mindset and out of the box thinking has taken business management to an altogether different sphere. Hence, most managements are very much aware of the need to carry the team along with the organization to achieve its core goals of maximization of profits and global growth. They do not want to handle crises within the organization when they have so many to handle externally. Therefore, a leader should have the ability to promote harmony and avert or manage crises effectively internally and externally. I had an opportunity to accomplish this within my project management team in the below example.Strategic means related to strategy in other words it is the identification of overall aims and the means to be adopted for achieving them. It consists of devising a plan for achievement of specific goals and following through with perfect implementation of the plan together with adequate control measures to ensure the goal is achieved. What finally matters is always the goal. Strategic leadership and management both emulate these basic features of strategizing within their jobs. So, a strategic leader whether at top, middle or department level needs to absolutely understand and be attuned to the objectives to be achieved, the plan for the same and how they will manage the people and processes to derive optimal results and what control measures they will implement to ensure success. A leader must motivate his entire team through performance and maintain a human element through inclusion and encouragement for everyone to explore their talents and excel. I have absolute belief that strategy is the most important management tool at the disposal of leaders for successful achievement of goals, and to exceed expectations. Lack of a well formulated strategy to lead and motivate others towards achievement of goals as a unified team, is sure to lead to failure or average results at best. It is like going on a treasure hunt without a map. I would utilize strategy to the maximum with absolute focus on the goal.However, this is when teams are operating optimally with all major attributes required well defined and clearly implemented otherwise the major goal is lost with the advantages turning into disadvantages. It is essential the essence is not lost of proving the united we stand maxim right. Cooperation and collaboration are essential elements of relationships within a team’s work environment and it is essential we understand the importance of these attributes to manage tough situations, meet impossible deadlines, and ensure optimal performance. It is like a support system within our work sphere. Until and unless a team this place this characteristic it cannot successfully operate as a single unit and achieve required goals as clearly defined with simultaneous responsibility and accountability. The basic requirement of optimal efficiency with maximize performance and output and effective growth for the team and individuals with ability to manage conflict and crisis adequately needs to be fulfilled.The disadvantages of working in a team only arise due to ineffective Team Management or failure to implement all the required features within a team leading to inadequate delegation of work resulting in extensive conflict. The job profile and work of every individual within the team needs to be clearly defined or it may lead to an equal involvement and participation of different members which dissatisfaction among employees becoming rife. it may become extremely difficult to achieve consensus until and unless teams are created with extensive evaluation of individuals involved and their suitability for being part of the team. Certain members main constantly try to outshine others and grab all the credit and subsequent benefits resulting in a dysfunctional group with a stressful atmosphere. Every leader needs to be effective in team management to guide, lead support and carry the team along as a single unit towards achievement of goals and subsequent success by displaying all qualities required within the team.Therefore, teamwork is extremely important and required but the management of a team unless it is optimal and efficient renders the entire process ineffective."All the world's a stage and all the men and women but players" is the famous quote of the greatest dramatist of all time, William Shakespeare. It can also be understood to mean that life is but a game. Business in that case is a game with large stakes, with the type of game varying greatly based on the business process. It can be simple Casino games such as roulette or Poker, or tennis rugby and cricket with long-term players playing test cricket matches and the latest type of online games counter strike global offensive and call of duty represented by the new class of leaders in global organizations heading technical and IT companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook and Amazon, where strategy is king and competitive intelligence the mainstay. The rules and regulations can be startlingly similar with a no holds barred approach signified by out of the box thinking and innovative utilization of resources. It also consists of on the spot decision making with ability to think clearly on your feet to search a head achieve the goal while keeping the Enemy at Bay and remaining one step ahead by outthinking and second guessing the strategy of the competitor. With globalization controlling the external environment by building a strong team is the name of the game in business. Every organization having achieved exceptional success in the current scenario has this one common factor of a strong leader at the helm having created an exceptional team resulting in superlative performance and achievements beyond those targeted. Is it any wonder that the business world is witnessing a surge of 20 somethings setting new records of success and achievement in business by simply being good at Counter Strike? Looks like the next generation is set to enjoy this game big time. We are waiting and watching, let the competition continue till endgame.Describe how you will lead/manage your team.Encouragement: -A manager must encourage and praise the employees even in their minor improvements. By praising employees for their effort can create a positive energy among themselves which would lead them to work even more harder for the succession of the company.Decision-maker: -A manager is said to successful if they can make proper decision at the right time. But they are also a great leader of they make decisions by discussing the issues and problems along with the team. Leaders must value other people's ideas and opinions and try to understand other people's thinking and their point of view. This way they can get much respect and be valued among the employees.Feedback: -An honest and sincere feedback is all the employees wants. If the employees get an honest appreciation from their leader then they can be highly motivated to give their best to the company. Then can help to guide the employees in the right path.Team building: -A manager must always make a strong bonding with the team by proper communicating and by showing genuine interest in other people. This helps the employees to feel important and valuable for the company. When employees feel they are worthy enough to be a part of the greater success of the company, then they will also respect and be responsible for their work. ................
