Leadership in change // Managing employees and business objectives

[NathanG]

Does anyone have some solid answers to these 2 questions ?? (For like a 3-5 mark response). I know the answers but I just suck at getting it down on paper and making it sound worth full marks. 
Any help / tips are much appreciated !

Hey! It seems that the questions are just their 'study design dot-point equivalent'; any chance you can phrase them into examination style questions so I (or others on this forum) can go about answering it. It's a bit vague at the moment

+1 - I am assuming something along the lines of...Describe the relationship between the management of employees and the achievement of business objectives.

Yeah so I've come across questions that simply say 'describe the importance of managing employees in meeting business objectives' and 'how is leadership important in a period of change within an organisation'..
I think half the reason why I can't answer these types of questions is because they're WAY too broad, I could write a whole page on this but sometimes am only given a few lines, any tips?

These questions should not be 10 marks, I would assume only 4, maybe 6 maximum on the exam.

Alrighty, so for "describe the importance of of managing employees in relation to business objectives" I would write something like: 'The managing of employees has a close relationship with overall business objectives. Because employees are the individuals that are ultimately working towards such objectives, through human resources ensuring that employees are motivated (by incorporating motivational theories), properly trained, and that there is an optimal relationship between them and workers, employees will have a high productivity level, exerting more effort to reach departmental objectives, which, in-line, will allow business objectives to be met.

I feel like generally this question will be 2-3 marks.

EDIT: I'll answer your second question! 

So, for the question "how is leadership important in a period of change within an organisation", I would say that 'Leadership is the process of positively influencing and encouraging staff to set and achieve business objectives. Hence, the displaying of leadership skills, such as strong communication with a clear vision, and good listening skills whilst displaying empathy, will decrease the resistance from employees to the proposed change, due to a greater building of trust. Furthermore, leadership will inspire employees to support the change (transformational leadership), and will hence increase the odds of change being successful.'
