Nowadays many various leadership skills exist, such as organisation, goal setting, control, situation awareness or decision making, which have to be considered within an organisation. This assignment concentrates on the skill control. Control in modern societies and organisations is very important because 'it requires the ability to dictate all activities, and it seeks to preserve stability and predictability' (John Hagel and Brown, 2002, p.1). As Lenin quoted 'Trust is a good thing, but control is a better one' (Lenin, Werke, 1971, p. 358). This quote is controversial as it can be misunderstood. Control is not the only aspect but it is rather the combination of both, trust and control, which lead to an effective result. This work will give a review on the theoretical part and distinguish the terms control & command and control & trust. Moreover rewards and sanctions will be described in detail. Additionally the games will be discussed and evaluated according to the previous theories. Own examples can be found in grey boxes, which give a deeper insights on the topic.
