Improving the performance of corporate leaders: Theoretical and practical consideration
Subject. The article evaluates the performance of corporate leaders in today's economy. Objectives. I unfold principles for evaluating the performance of a business leader, and review the substance of corporate governance and distinctions in managerial approaches that exist in a transportation company. Methods. The study relies upon the process-based and systems approaches, economic and mathematical methods, statistical methods for data processing and comparative analysis. Results. I analyzed types of corporate governance and notes that the entity should primarily ensure a growth in the productivity and financial result (profit). Therefore, as for the substance of corporate leader's performance, it seems to ensure the relationship of all management elements. Hence, I review a closed chain of the business leader's governance ensuring the working process and comprising five phases. The article outlines an algorithm for evaluating the performance of managers, illustrating the case of a transportation company. Based on available theoretical data, I determine that the microanalysis seems to be an option to improve the performance of corporate leaders, since it detects challenges at the initial phase, examines the management process and finds methods to eliminate any issues. I analyze how the organizational culture is examined, and conclude that the organizational culture in the transportation company is developing, thus ensuring the effective performance of the company. Conclusions. The substance of management translates into its functions and tasks shaping the specifics of the working process. A corporate leader deals with a big deal of functions, managing the staff, establishing the cooperation between corporate departments, collecting and processing the information for tasks they have to handle. The microanalysis and the implementation of the corporate governance mainly serve for raising the performance of corporate leaders. The findings can prove useful to various entities.
