The paper seeks to elucidate in detail the implication of managing the organizational
scenario by walking around and thereby assists in the development of the organizational
culture. As the name suggests MBWA is a style of management whereby the style does not
follow any particular structure and it requires the random intervention of the managers in
checking around several aspects of the organization including the ones of equipment, workers
and the workplace in general.
Such randomness in the managerial scenario allows the managers to break out from
the structural aspect of the managerial process and indulge in a much informal survey, in
order to grab them in their spontaneity. Such method of managerial style allows the leaders to
develop an understanding of the moral of the organization along with the ones of the
employees. The method is much spontaneous and opens up the opportunity for a continuous
evaluation of the scenario in contrast to the employees waiting for the intervention of the
managers. The term had been brought into practice by Tom Peters. According to his
observations, frequent communication from the managers allow the employees to perform in
a way better than those where the interaction between the leaders and the managers have been
limited (Obeidat, 2017).
The aspect of listening is given importance in this form of managerial measure. Such
interventions also allow the managers to build their competence with their employees as well
as with their issues. It also assists them in managing the conflicts in the scenario. The
approach proposed by Peters were extensively used by David Packard and Hewlett. Such
style assists the leaders to become more approachable to their subjects as it eliminates a sense
of being intimidated by the managers and distance themselves thereby enhancing the
hierarchy of the organizations. The communication therefore can be facilitated with this style
of management and thereby allows the formation of a network of trust among the leaders and
