The case of MEAT PACK
Introduction
Meat pack is the company which conducts the overall activities in Australia. Approximately
from 27 years the company has an experience in the meat production sector. The owner of the
company is MR. Bison and the rules are made by him which is important to be followed at the
workplace. So, in this paper the focus will be on MEAT PACK case study in which the answers
will be given in relation to the case study. The answers will showcase the concept of leadership,
performance and culture.
Discussion
 1.) It can be examined that it is important for the leader to emphasize on boosting
the culture so that the employees have the clarity in attaining the values of the company.
This can also help in ensuring that the workers should not be reminded about the
operations which they have been assigned. By considering the entire mission by the
employees it can be simple for them to consider the set values and goals of the
organization (Gordon, 2017). By emphasizing on the case, it can be stated that the
employee will complete the activities which they want to complete so that the entire
operations of the company can be controlled.
It has been examined that there are various types of styles of management that can assist
in realizing the set goals of the organization. But the top management or the managers
should focus on achieving the goals as they are the one who motivate the employees and
help them to perform better towards the set objective of the company (Alvesson and
Sveningsson, 2015).
In the case related to MEAT PACK, it can be stated that Bison need to consider that how
to control the workers and how they should be given direction. For example: if top
management emphasizes on giving motivation to the employees then it can be simple to
boost their efficiency and also they will feel motivated and positive. All these employees
will be aligned towards the organizational objectives.

The employees in the company could not focus on the rights action due to lack of
controlling power, so in this case it is necessary to focus on maintaining the control as it
can help to bring drastic change in the organizational activities. It is the responsibility of
the mangers to critical evaluates the performance so that guidance can be given easily. If
these entire operations take place then the workers will not be able to manage the
operations in an effective manner and also they will not share their ideas and views that
how the organization should attain the vision and mission (Shanafelt et al., 2015).
In the company, the leadership can take place by maintaining the partnership and also if it
is criticized then it can lead to the negative outcome. The focus should be given on
introducing new approaches in the workplace. According to the case, if the changes in the
new leadership style are considered then it can assist to focus on the hand off approach.
Through motivation it can be simple for the managers to boost the efficiency of the
employees towards work and also it will help in considering the hand approach necessary
for the company (Carnall, 2018).
For Bison, if focus is on the hand off approach then it can be concerned with controlling
the members of the team without giving authority to any other individual. In this entire
process he should not interfere in the operations as it can be concerned with the strategic
change. If this is maintained easily then it can be simple to emphasize on the change exist
in the workplace (Bolman and Deal, 2017).
The overall productivity level and the satisfaction level of the customers of the company
should be maintained so that strategic change. Also the customers would focus on the
entire strategic change in the workplace. There are some areas where it is necessary to
bring improvement in the hand on approach as it will help to consider the direct reports
which will assist to search the overall department of the employees who have to face
issue at the time of considering the set targets. It can also be one of the biggest challenge
for Bison as it can be analyzed that hand off approach can be one of the difficult scenario
for the workers to enhance their mindset on a proper way. This can also exist when the
hand of the mangers will not be give assistance at the right direction and also for the
workers it is important to boost the skills. It can be said that it is important to focus on
considering the approach related to management and Bison should have the time bound
actions, as one of the hand off approach as this can minimize the overall functions of the
2

company. The management in relation to hand off focuses on boosting the programs
related to change. In the last day the workers will also emphasize on the goals and
consider the creative approach (Day et al., 2014).
It is important for the management to maintain proper leadership in the workplace as it
can help in boosting the working pattern in the workplace. Hand off style can be related
to the employees in that the workers does not like that their managers should follow them
only at the time of controlling the organizational operations. It can also enhance the
nervousness and can make the people less efficient towards the assigned operations. The
entire activities of the company can only be managed if effective leadership style is
considered (Choromides, 2018).
 2.) By considering the Case study, it is important to give training to the workers as it can
boost the overall skill in context to the assigned operations. By taking help the company
can attain growth in the highly competitive market. It can also been seen that by stopping
the entire activities related to coaching, it is necessary for the senior leadership
employees to work on the strategies which are concerned with the leadership. When the
human synergistic introduces in the companies then it can be evaluated that workers
should have the opportunity to analyze the performance according to the entire rating.
The rating should be given to the employees on the basis of their performance (Fairhurst
and Connaughton, 2014). There are different colors which have different meanings like
red is for defensive, green is passive and blue is related to constructive. Also, the
behavior can be divided into different colors. In this relation the overall culture can be
defined as red.
The bison stated that there are workers in the company who were defensive and also they
are concerned with the consumers. In the relation to this, the change made in the
leadership campaign ensures the overall change it to the blue color so that the plans can
be realized. It is necessary to focus on the technique of change in the structure of the
organizations which can also be horizontal and also in this the involvement is of the front
line workers and leaders who manage the entire activities of the company. It can be
examined that there are workers who are efficient towards the work of the organization
(Eaton and Kilby, 2015). There are also executives who consider the challenges which
can assist in closing the gap between the employees who are talented and potential and
3

they work in a different sector and it can be stated that workers control their operations
by taking help from the leaders.
To be defensive in nature is not considered as the intention of the workers. The challenge
can also be concerned with the lack of understanding in context to the changes that will
also relate with the leadership factor (Hornstein, 2015). Also, if the modifications are
done in the organizational activities, then it can be stated that the main aim is to boost the
productivity of the employees.
There are workers who are not able to evaluate the changes that were necessary to bring
best out of everything. The blue leadership style can be best when the emphasis is on
maintaining the new markets for the METPACK as it can assist in converting the people
into the new customer segments. Blue leadership was not considered by the management
in the workplace. The technique is necessary as it helps the managers in the company and
it also boosts the talent which will assist in securing the cost of coaching (Chatterjee,
Pereira and Bates, 2018).
Leadership is considered as the service in which the workers feel embrace. The leaders in
the company should emphasize on attaining the overall customer base so that
performance can be maintained and boosted of the employees. It can be stated that when
employees offer value to the practice of leadership then they emphasizes on maintaining
the leadership. The employees should take training from the top management in the
workplace. It can be seen that Bison should emphasize on the overall actions of the
employees with commitment and the focus should not on the non-customers of the
leadership (Bortolotti, Boscari and Danese, 2015).
It can be examined that Bison emphasizes on the leadership he defined that the concept in
relation of coaching should be developed between the senior workers. Also in relation to
this, it can be seen that worker cannot work with the non-customers and also it will boost
the market share of the organization. It can be evaluated that blue leadership can be
known as one of the essential aspect that maintains the disengagement of the employees.
Blue leadership style emphasizes on the change in prospective to the strength of the
organization. Also, it does not help the employees to focus their vision and mission and
distract them from their salary. So, in relation to the case, it can be said that the managers
4

of the company were not able to focus on the model and also leadership is changed in
context to the traditions which boost the development.
It has been analyzed that influence of the change also focuses on the actions and activities
in the organizations. There are various studies which state that there should be values,
qualities and characters that can help the leader to be one of the efficient leaders towards
the organizational activities. If the leader is able to give proper coaching then it can also
be considered as one of the characteristics of the leader. There are many changes in
reference to qualities and characters which can assist in enhancing the overall
performance of the employees. This can also be concerned with the senior leaders who
have the objective to consider the coaching programs of the Bison and also they do not
relate with the change that takes place. It is necessary to emphasize on transforming the
behavior of the employees working in the organization so that goals can be attained. It is
important to focus on the overall leadership function in the company as it helps to
consider the right action which will boost the efficient of the employees towards the set
goals.
In the last, it can be stated that it is important to emphasize on evaluating the entire
difference. It can be easy to take into consideration the overall change in the behavior of
the individual as it can enhance smoothness of the activities. It can also enhance the
problem in relation to the changing values, qualities and also various other traits. It will
also emphasize on boosting the behavior of the workers through values (Elsbach and
Stigliani, 2018). It can be said that top management should focus on maintaining the
values in the workplace so that positive outcome can be attained.
 3.) In reference to MEAT PACK CASE, it has been examined that it is necessary to focus
on the strategy of innovation friendly organization structure. This structure can help in
becoming one of the leaders of the market. It also needs to focus on the structure and also
the flat organization in the company boosts to meet the goals and also it relates with the
misnormer. It can be seen that the workers do not shift the responsibility to the higher
authority which means that right decisions can be considered by the company. It can also
been evaluated that there are various advantages in relation to leadership and
management which helps to maintain the flat structure (Kheirandish, Farahani and
Nikkhoo, 2016).

For MEAT PACK CASE, it can be evaluated that the advantage can be related with the
overall structure. In this case, it has been observed that MEAT PACK do not emphasize
on the various levels of management. But this can vary from the tall structure which is
considered by the companies. BISON also tries to manage the overall operations in which
the workers will transfer the information to the BISON. The layer of management has
also minimized and MEAT PACK will focus on maintaining the structure of the
organization. In meat pack, it has been observed that there are many leaders in the
different areas but they only communicate with Bison.
The next benefit for MEAT PACK is concerned with the process of communication. In
this the management of the company who is democratic can offer workers the approach
in context to innovation. The flow of communication should be there so that it can be
easy to convey the opinion with the managers in the workplace. In the tall structure, it
can be stated that communication can be improved. It is due to the reason in which the
effort of the workers helps the decisions and also it gives a platform to the employees to
boost the efficiency in the workplace (Gambi et al., 2015).
By considering the tall companies it can be stated that staff members should focus on the
requirement of approval from the top management (Mendenhall et al., 2017). This also
does not relate with the MEAT PACK as the workers have the power to consider the right
decisions in the workplace. The reason can also be concerned with reporting levels in
which the decisions maintain mobility in the workplace.
When the changes are in the performance then it can be examined that flat structure at
MEAT PACK has trained employees. The employees have high dedication level and they
are also skilled which also boost the employee’s satisfaction level towards the activities.
For example: It is important for the organization to emphasize on offering offers on the
bulk purchase of the meal but if one denies then they are from the different departments.
The strategic development approach can also move to same company for achieving
growth in the highly competitive market.
Conclusion
So, it can be concluded that it is important for the company to focus on maintaining the
change in the workplace so that growth can be attained. Training is one of the factors that
6

should be considered so that competitive advantage can be considered in the workplace
and also it will maintain the structure of the company.
