Interview on Changing Management Strategies
Interview on Changing Management Strategies
This paper focuses on a phone interview regarding the change of management strategies in an organization. I selected a company named XYX and requested an interview with one of the company’s manager on this topic. I asked three questions to Mr. X in order to help me understand what the impact of changing managerial strategies are to an organization.
My first question was, “have you ever managed a group or team in the changing of initiatives in your organization and what where the advantages?” Mr. X stated that “change is very important for an organization. When times change, so do industries.” Mr. X had to update their company strategies in order to keep up with those changes and to be more effective in achieving their organizational goals. Sounds like Mr. X went from using an autocratic style of leadership to more of a democratic Style.
Per the second question, “what are the objectives and purpose of these changes in managerial strategies?” Mr. X explained that changes in managerial strategies are important because they will help makes an organization focus on their current situation, operations, and the performance of its employees. Changes in managerial strategies also help to achieve the objectives and goals of an organization. When an organization changes its strategy, the structure must change as well (Robbins & Judge, 2019).
The third and final question, “what was the biggest challenge in changing managerial strategies?” He told me his biggest challenge faced was the lack of rapport between his employees and senior management. This relationship is very important in order to fuel the need for changing strategies and managerial functions. If there is a large power-gap amongst both parties, then this process will be difficult to apply in an organization (Watson & Harris, 1996). Company XYX’s power-gap can be reduced by motivating and encouraging their employees to communicate with their managers.
