Inadequate Organizational Structure: The Diagnosis and Cure

        In order for any organization to be successful, it is vital for its operating system to be just as finely tuned as its original plan. The organizational structure of a company defines whether in the end it will be successful or not. Therefore, this aspect of a business is vital to its the longevity and if any part of the combination is incomplete, the business does not prosper. A couple of examples that indicate a failing organizational structure are lack of opportunities for general managers and and intensely antagonistic work climate (Hax & Majluf, 1981). Once we have diagnosed the issues with our system of operation, we need to remedy the situation.

        It is essential, for the group, to emphasis the development of their general managers because the time spent expanding their job’s scope directly impacts the businesses vitality. It should be kept in mind that this is a symptom found primarily in a functional organization. An organization that is diagnosed with this ailment, need to avoid overloading their managers with too many tasks and should give their managers the opportunity to grow as an integral member of the business. By doing so, this empowers these workers to be committed to customer satisfaction and makes them feel like their efforts are of value to the company (Blanchard, 2010). If this obstacle is not curbed and given the necessary attention that it needs, it can be expected that general managers will become unmotivated and, potentially, be the cause of an environment with a lot of tension.

        It can be inferred, now, that if an organization is suffering from a lack of general manager empowerment, it could also be the victim of being an intensely antagonistic environment for workers. This can be extremely detrimental for a business if its staff does not want to go to work because of the atmosphere that is being projected. In order to counteract this ruinous issue, it is important to set up a method for motivating and rewarding workers. Whether it’s establishing an employee of the month, casual dress day of the week, or a bonus based upon exceeding goals, any effort toward rewarding is significant incentive for the highest quality of work to be achieve. The antagonistic environment also is a warning that there may be an imbalance of “structure and processes” (Hax & Majluf, 1981).
