Answer the question based on the given passage

Management is a set of processes that can keep a complicated system of people and
technology running smoothly. The most important aspects of management include
planning, budgeting, organising, staffing, controlling, and problem-solving.
Leadership is a set of processes that creates organisations in the first place or adapts
them to significantly changing circumstances. Leadership defines what the future
should look like, aligns people with that vision, and inspires them to make it happen
despite the obstacles. This distinction is absolutely crucial for our purposes here:
Successful transformation is 70 to 90 per cent leadership and only 10 to 30 percent
management. Yet for historical reasons, many organisations today don't have much
leadership. And almost everyone thinks about the problem here as one of managing
change. For most of this country, as we created thousands and thousands of large
organisations for the first time in human history, we didn't have enough good
managers to keep all those bureaucracies functioning. So many companies and
universities developed management programs and hundreds and thousands of
people were encouraged to learn management on the job. And they did. But, people
were taught little about leadership. To some degree, management was emphasised
because it's easier to teach than leadership. But even more so, management was the
main item on the twentieth-century agenda because that's what was needed. For
every entrepreneur or business builder who was a leader, we needed hundreds of
managers to run their ever-growing enterprises. Unfortunately for us today, this
emphasis on management has often been institutionalised in corporate cultures that
discourage employees from learning how to lead. Ironically, past success is usually
the key ingredient in producing this outcome. The syndrome, as I have observed it
on many occasions, goes like this: success creates some degree of marked
dominance which in turn produces much growth. After a while keeping the ever-
larger organisation under control becomes the primary challenge. So attention turns
inward and managerial competencies are nurtured. With a strong emphasis on
management but not leadership, bureaucracy and an inward focus takeover. But with
continued success, the result mostly of market dominance, the problem often goes
unaddressed and an unhealthy arrogance begins to evolve. All of these
characteristics then make any transformation effort much more difficult. Arrogant
managers can over-evaluate their current performance and competitive position,
listen poorly and learn slowly. Inwardly focused employees can have difficulty seeing
the very forces that present threats and opportunities. Bureaucratic cultures can
smother those who want to respond to shifting conditions. And the lack of leadership
leaves no force inside these organisations to break out of the morass.

Q11. Why did companies and universities develop programmes to prepare

managers in such a large number?

a. (A) Companies and universities wanted to generate funds through these

programmes
b. (B) The large number of organisations were created as they needed managers in
good number
c. (C) Organisations did not want to spend their scarce resources in training
managers
d. (D) Organisations wanted to create communication network through trained
managers

Q12. How has the author defined management?

a. It is the process of adapting organisations to changing circumstances.

b. It is the system of aligning people with the direction it has taken.
c. It refers to creating a vision to help direct the change effectively.
d. Creating better performance through customer orientation.

Q13. What is the historical reason for many organisations not having
leadership?

a. A view that leaders are born, they are not made

b. Leaders lack managerial skills and organisations need managers
c. Leaders are weak in carrying out traditional functions of management
d. Leaders allow too much complacency in organisations

Q14. Which of the following characteristics help organisations in their

transformation efforts?

a. Emphasis on leadership but not management

b. A strong and dogmatic culture
c. Bureaucratic and inward looking approach
d. Failing to acknowledge the value of customers and shareholders
