Continuing from the previous assignment, it is now important to  consider your approach to leading and managing your HR project. Tightly  structured projects tend to restrict cross-organizational communication.  As such, objectives originate at the top of the project and are  subdivided as they are passed down, resulting in little opportunity for  creative contributions. Effective leadership and managing of the project  can greatly improve communication and team contributions.

1. Review and understand the types of project manager power  listed and defined in the textbook, select and define any two you feel  would be relevant to your current project, and explain why. Be specific.
2. Identify and briefly discuss a minimum of four outcomes  (possible issues) resulting from managing projects, and address how you  might resolve the issues. Be clear with your rationale.
3. Discuss some increased challenges a project manager may face  when leading virtual or global project teams. Recommend a few strategies  to deal with the challenges.
4. Identify and explain your overall plan for communication  management during the project. The plan must be comprehensive and at a  minimum address structure, purpose, method, and timing.

HR Headline: Pay for Performance Remains Controversial

“Pay for Performance” has made inroads in business, but has remained a hard sell in public school systems. There are some successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to student test scores. For example, in Minnesota, some districts have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60% of all pay increases on performance. In Denver, unions and school districts designed an incentive program where teachers receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning national teaching certificates. However, some plans have not worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans – if employees don’t buy into them, they will not work.

Your paper may be based on a business entity of your choosing from the public or private sector and must answer the following Research Questions:

1. How could an organization measure the effectiveness of its pay-for-performance plan(s)?

2. From an employee’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?

3. From an employer’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?
