Management and Leadership skills are very important to the world of industry. This is a true statement at Dal-Tile International. Dal-Tile is an international producer of tile products for home and commercial use. Dal-Tile produces tile by using a tunnel kiln and or a fast fire kiln. The tile body consists of ceramics, glaze, and quarry and can be used on walls, floors, bath areas and kitchen areas. Also the tile Dal-Tile produces can be used inside or outside and is seen in places such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wal-Mart delis, Home Depot and Lowes. Dal-Tile produces tile in the United States and Mexico and sells to countries around the world such as China. To be able to coordinate, produce, ship, stay financially in budget, employ people and keep customers happy Dal-Tile must depend on its managers and leaders to take control of the goal, job or function that is set for that particular leader or manager. Managers and leaders can be two different people or can be one in the same. Both managers and leaders are working towards accomplishing a goal. More often than not the goals that managers and leaders are working toward are the same. There are times when managers and leaders are working towards different goals. This could happen when a manager is working towards a budget goal or an overall production number and the leader may be working on a daily production number or a cost savings measure.
