Abstract/Contents:Discusses the power structure in golf course management, stating that "Greens Committee members face the...challenge of providing guidance to the golf course superintendent without interfering with his/her managerial effectiveness" and "the superintendent faces a...challenge in working with personnel to provide leadership without inhibiting their creativity, growth and motivation." Describes the optimal role of each, stating that superintendents should "obtain peak performance and articulate a vision for the organization, obtain committment to the vision from all personnel and then provide feedbackand support to enable all personnel to maximize their contribution to fulfilling the vision, as well as their own growth and development" and that the Greens Committee should "work with the golf course personnel...to develop and articulate a vision for the course and then to enable and insure that the course superintendent obtains staff committment...and has...the resources to provide the necessary feedback and support to all personnel." Lists the three tools that can be used to influence other people as power, communication, and decisions. Distinguishes between power and informal power, stating that "formal power is based on the formal position held by the leader" and "informal power [is] based on knowledge, expertise, access to information, personal traits, [and] the ability to rewards and connections."
