Management approaches and Leadership
The management is required to focus on effective monitoring and guiding the employees
within the organisation so that their needs and requirements can be effectively analysed and
accordingly strategies can be developed so that their interest can be aligned with the strategic
goals. The employees require that the leaders or the managers provide them with guidance
and motivation according to which they will be able to perform within the organisation. The
managers effectively focus on adapting management theories and approaches so that they can
manage and guide the employees within the organisation and can achieve strategic goals and
objectives (Mone & London, 2018). The report is effectively focused on analysing the
management theories and approaches that managers or the leaders within the organisation can
adapt and lead the organisation towards the achievement of the goals and objectives, along
with analysing the strength and weakness of the management approaches.
The managers within the organisation are required to be focused on developing strategies and
policies through which they will be able to motivate and guide the employees to work
towards the organisational goals and objectives. The managers utilise various tools and
techniques including rewards, trustworthiness and goal-directedness so that the employees
can be influenced to work actively and the managers can control and supervise the activities
of the employees within the organisation. To achieve the employee efficiency the
management focuses on establishing leadership within the organisation and undertakes
certain approaches to achieve the goals and objectives (Cho & Perry, 2011).
The managers are the key individual within the organisation responsible for the
organisational development within the industry. Therefore, the mangers effectively focus on
adapting management approaches within the organisation so that the leaders, as well as the
employees, can be provided with guidance and the goals can be achieved. The management

theory of administrative management is adopted by the organisation so that the activities can
be effectively managed, as the theory effectively suggests that the managers are required to
focus on their responsibilities which include effectively forecasting the needs and
requirements within the industry, and accordingly develop plans within the organisation,
depending upon the planned activities, it is required that the activities are organised, along
with commanding the employees and controlling them (Calás & Smircich, 2019).
The administrative theory of management results in providing the employees with effective
guidance and the issue of the laziness within the workers or employees can be avoided, also
the theory includes that the management is required to continuously monitor and supervise
the employees so that their effectiveness can be ensured. The administrative management
theory is based on the application of human principles and the organisation’s experiences
within the industry; as human nature cannot be predicted or controlled, also the industry is
dynamic therefore the forecasting may result in negative impact over the organisation. An
analysis conducted by R. Edwards reflects that the administrative management theory is
effective for managing employees and activities within the organisation, but certain other
approaches are being followed within the industry (Edwards, 2018).
An analysis conducted by P O’Neill, A Sohal, CW Teng reflects that apart from the
administrative management theory the organisation can effectively focus on the quality
management approaches so that the organisation’s commitment towards the quality
management and financial performance can be achieved. As through maintaining effective
internal and external quality the management is able to manage the activities and the
employees are able to achieve their individual goals and objectives, which ultimately results
in improving employee performance within the industry. Also, the quality management
approach has a certain limitation in terms of the focus on the organisational profitability as
due to high quality the firm’s profitability decreases (O’Neill, et al., 2016).
