Verizon: External/Internal Factors MGT/330 January 28, 2012 Verizon: External/Internal Factors The four functions of management continue to guide Verizon through internal and external factors successfully.

Some of the internal and external factors that Verizon must effectively and efficiently guide themselves through are globalization, technology, innovation, diversity, and ethics.

Agreeing to this theory, a leader with this style of leadership is the efficient leader as the leader can concentrate along the task hand, communicate clear expectation to their followers in order to make decisions effectively (Eberlin & Tatum, 2008; Tatum et al., 2003).

Situational Leadership covers 4 styles of leadership, directing, coaching, supporting and delegating and two types of behaviour being amount of direction and/or support employee needs when carrying out tasks. It also depends on employees’ competence and commitment of which there are 4 levels.
