My Boss, L.J. Watkins, wants to cut cost because of increased competition from another firm and some changes have already been made. Before these change Watkins Co. had a relatively laid back atmosphere in which supervisors did not frequently push or confront employees that often.

One evening while I was training a new girl, my boss casually supervised me. About a quarter of the way through our shift, I was reprimanded for not cleaning in the mannered routine I was originally taught when hired. I stood my ground and said my way was better and she will see by the end of the night. We finished out the night a bit ahead of schedule, my boss attributing it to there being an extra helping hand.

I will also make sure that I take really good care of my employees to make sure that they feel appreciated so they will stay around longer. Most daycare’s have a huge turnover rate because the employees don't feel appreciated and feel like they are being under-paid for the work that they provide which is another reason why Appletree is not a typical daycare because their employees get treated so

* What is organizational culture, why is it important, and to what extent can managers manage it? * Using examples from the MGT 120 course, describe how the informal organization impacts upon employees’ behaviour in the workplace and critically evaluate the implications of these processes for how managers should manage. * Distinguish between the different approaches to the study of leadership and critically discuss the practical ramifications and contemporary relevance of each of these approaches. * The increasing use of cultural forms of control to manage contemporary organizations may be seen as a systematic attempt by managers to eradicate the influence of the informal organization upon employees’ work place behaviour. Discuss.
How can the role of leadership be best understood in organizational change The role of leadership can best be understood in organizational change as a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Depending on the conceptualisation of organizational change you adopt, the leader’s role could be perceived to be a variety of things, from that of an initiator/visionary, the influencer of culture, a trigger for follower organizational identification, someone who redefines resistance, or a sense maker who introduces new discourses. The most useful approach can be to consider an issue from a number of different theoretical points of view before determining the most effective intervention. Leadership has been conceived of in a multitude of different ways varying from Great man theory (Borgatta, Bales and Couch, 1954; Cawthon, 1996), trait theories (), and style theories (). More recent conceptualisations of leadership include contingency theory (), and transformational leadership ().
