The Anglo-Saxon etymological origin of the words lead, leader, and leadership is laed, which stands for "path" or "road." The verb laeden means "to travel." Thus a leader is one who shows fellow travelers the way by walking ahead. This metaphor of the leader as helmsman is still very much on the mark. Unfortunately, the clarity of leadership's etymology is rarely matched with clarity of meaning. Papers, books, and articles claiming to delineate leadership proliferate, yet their conclusions can be confusing and even as conflicting. Indeed, one of the major scholars of leadership has observed that "there are almost as many definitions of leadership as there are persons who have attempted to define the concept" (Bass, 1990, p. 11). Stogdill (1974), in his Handbook of Leadership, reviewed seventy-two definitions of proposed by leadership researchers between 1902 and 1967. Among the more popular are descriptions in terms of traits, behaviour, relationships, and follower perceptions. The proliferation of literature on leadership in recent years is amply reflected by the increase in the number of articles as listed in the latest edition of the Handbook. While the old Handbook referred to only three thousand studies, which the newest edition cites almost eight thousand (Bass, 1990). Reading through this gargantuan tome is a sobering and often bewildering experience. The naive reader quickly discovers that finding one's way in the domain of leadership studies is like wandering through a forbidding wilderness that offers few beacons or landmarks. Furthermore, as Mintzberg (1982) has suggested, the popularity of leadership research is not always equalled by its relevance: "Even the titles of the theories new no less than  old reveal the nature of their content plodding and detached. Since the beginning, there seems to have been a steady convergence on the peripheral at best, and all too often on the trivial and the irrelevant" (p. 250). Unfortunately, Mintzberg is right on target. Too many of these studies focuses on social phenomena other than their original subject of investigation. Rather than concentrating on what key decision-makers at the strategic apex of their organisation are doing in the context of their work environment, researchers all too frequently draw their major 3 conclusions from laboratory experiments, observations of leaderless groups, or the activities of lower-level supervisors. If leadership is to be a viable area of study and that study is to be of service to a constituency of executives its research focus needs to be closely tied to observations of the behaviour and actions of individuals in leadership positions. Bass(1985)., Mintzberg(1973)., Stodgill(1974).

Detailed Human Resource Planing






When considering detailed human resources planing, employment forecasting lead in to Supply analysis resulting in balance, supply, and demand. What is employment Forecasting ? this will consider several factors including product/service, economics, technology, financial resources, absenteeism/ turn over, growth, management philosophy. Techniques also help in trend analysis, managerial estimates, and Delphi techniques. How does Supply and Analysis help in human resource planing? Mainly it depends on internal and external factors. Internal factors such as  Staffing tables, Markov analysis, skills inventories, management inventories, replacement charts, succession planing.Demographic changes, education of workforce, labour mobility, government policies, unemployment rate focus on external factors. Finally what is the cause of Balance supply and demand? Recruitment explains full time, part time, and recalls of the factor. Reduction of the product or service lead in to layoffs, demotions, termination, retirement.


                   HRM, HRP, HR


Human resources management is a traditional, general perspective lead in to HR in an organisation. HR professionals have historically coordinated company recruitment, hiring, training, compensation and assessment functions. The strategic planning role of human resources emerged in the latter 20th to early 21st centuries as companies became more interested in planning for talent needs in the institution.

HR Management related issues 
The human resources function is generally responsible for overseeing all facts of a company’s employment system portfolio. This begins with the hiring and selection process, carries through motivational programs and training and includes exit interviews or retirement programs when employees leave. Ensuring companies follow all laws related to equal opportunities and fair labour practices and developing HR policies and procedures for employees and managers are key roles in the management function.

HR Planing related issues

Administration and operations used to be the two role areas of HR planing. The strategic planning component came into play as a result of companies recognising the need to consider HR needs in goals and strategies which required by the institution. HR directors commonly sit on company executive teams because of the HR planning functions as it is required. Numbers and types of employees and the evolution of compensation systems are among elements in the planning role. BELCOURT., et al(2010)

Forecasting Stage of Human Resource Management



What does it mean by Forecasting stage of human resource planing. Its mainly depends on determining labour Demand. This might lead in to product, service and demand. Later it will determine labour supply which satisfy internal movements caused by transfers, promotions, turnover, retirement, etc. Also transitional matrices identify employee movements over time. Finally determining labour surplus or shortage became HR stage of  final forecasting.



Before we look at some of the techniques and methods of HR forecasting, lets define some basic terms. First human resources is the department in charge of recruiting, hiring, and training employees. This means they are in charge of staffing the company and fulfilling any employee needs. Human resource forecasting is the process of determining or predicting the needs of the company by means of data and models. Forecasting is used to understand the skills and performance level of the current staff to help identify any gaps where hiring or restructuring needs to occur. By looking at past data and company statistics, the HR department can determine future needs. For example, Laura might look at the trends of past years when the demand for sunglasses increased. If she notices that there is an increase in demand in the spring, she might realise that in the future she should plan to hire more staff at that time. Zeffane, R. and Mayo, G (1994).

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN RESOURCES

                                         

It has been professionally proved that Information and Communication Technology (ICT), such as the Internet, mobile communication, new media, and such in HR can greatly contribute to the fulfilment of personnel policies of the organisation. Technological advancement can have a huge impact on the HR department of an organisation. It allows the company to improve its internal processes, core competencies, relevant markets and organisation structure as a whole which can be lead in to employee satisfaction
E-HRM is the (planning, implementation and) application of information technology for both networking and supporting at least two individual or collective actors in their shared performing of HR activities.
E-HRM is not same as HRIS (Human resource Information system) which refers to ICT systems used within HR departments. Nor is it the same as V-HRM or Virtual HRM - which is defined by Lepak and Snell as "...a network-based structure built on partnerships and typically mediated by information technologies to help the organisation acquire, develop, and deploy intellectual capital.

E-HRM is in essence the devolution of HR functions to management and employees. They access these functions typically via intranet or other web-technology channels. The empowerment of managers and employees to perform certain chosen HR functions relieves the HR department of these tasks, allowing HR staff to focus less on the operational and more on the strategic elements of HR, and allowing organisations to lower HR department staffing levels as the administrative burden is lightened. It is anticipated that, as E-HRM develops and becomes more entrenched in business culture, these changes will become more apparent, but they have yet to be manifested to a significant degree. A 2007 CIPD survey states that "The initial research indicates that much-commented-on development such as shared services, outsourcing and e-HR have had relatively little impact on costs or staff numbers".Bondarouk,Tanya ,Parry,emma and Furtmueller,ELFI(2017).

Human resources management (HRM) plays most important role for an organisation to manage employees to work effective, creative, quality and productivity to reach the competitive advantages over competitor and achieve organisation goals and objectives.
Human Resource Management deals with issues related to compensation, performance management, organisation development, safety, wellness, benefits, employee motivation, employee training and others. HRM plays a strategic role in managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Human resources management is very crucial for any organisation without it they can not reach their goals and objectives. If organisations that have not considered effective of human resources management they will not manage their staff at work effectively and can not examine what they will do to make working people more productive and effective. The importance of Strategic management will draw the picture of further improvement in achieving above goals. Truss,Catherine(1999).

Functions of the Human Resource Management








                           


Main functions of the HR Management:

*Human Resource Planning: The first function of the HR is to know the future needs of the organisation.What kind of people the organisation need and how many of them to be recruited. Knowing this data will reshape the selection, performance management, learning and development, and all other HR functions.

*Recruitment and Selection: second HR function involves attracting people to work for the organisation and selecting the best candidates.
Attracting people usually starts with an evaluating employee brand . Being an attractive employer has plenty of advantages in the institution. A good example of the latter is the tobacco industry which struggles to attract due to its tainted reputation.With a strong employer brand and the right sourcing strategies, you’re already halfway there. Once candidates apply, selection is an HR instrument to pick the best qualified and highest-potential candidates.
*Performance management This is essential in ensuring that workers stay productive and engaged. Good performance in management involves good leadership, clear goal-setting, and open feedback around institution.


                                        
Performance management tools include the annual performance review, in which the employee is reviewed by his or her manager. It also includes 360-degree feedback tools in which peers, managers, subordinates, and sometimes even customers review the employee’s performance. These kinds of tools can be very helpful in providing feedback.
Performance management is also an instrument to close the gap between the workforce you have today and the one you want to have tomorrow. One of the best ways to build your future  workforce is through learning and development.Silva,Marlene Sofia Alves e and Lima, Carlos Guilherme de Silva(2018)
