    For some reasons, the managers’ positions have been seen in a negative way for many years. However, this does not change the essentiality of this position in any organization, especially in business set-ups. There have been a constant confusion between the role of leaders and managers, and what should be clearly established is that these two roles do not share the same meaning. Being a manager does not guarantee that one is already a good leader. However, leaders can be effective managers. This only means that in order for managers to be effective and avoid negative feedback, they should have sufficient knowledge and skills on leadership. Aside from this, managing and leading a company will also have different impacts on the organization, as well as business outputs (Treacy, 2006). Not all of the renowned managers are great leaders, but these two cannot be separated. As a matter of fact, so many supervisors, administrators, and other high-ranking officials in different organizations have been performing their role without being good leaders themselves. It is just that their positions open better opportunities to be leaders. A manager can truly rise from other managers if he or she manages to be an efficient manager and leader at the same time (Bateman & Snell, 2009).…

    With typical industry margins between 4 -7%, many restaurant companies must closely monitor costs in order to remain profitable (Nessel). Since salaries consist of the second largest cost within this industry, employee management becomes quite important. One aspect of employee management is turnover. Turnover costs for one employee are estimated to be 30 – 150% of their employee’s annual compensation (PeopleLink). Table 1.1 (See Appendix) are examples of both direct and indirect costs associated with high employee turnover. Because of these costs, organizations such as the Hard Rock Café, place a large emphasize on maintaining a low turnover. By incorporating efficient Human Resource strategies, the Hard Rock Café is able maintain a turnover rate that is half the industry average of 140% for hourly positions and 40% for management (Deitch). These Human Resource strategies are outlined below.…
