Organizational management
It’s the desire for every manager to see their organizations grow and improve as well.
Although the ever-changing environment challenges this, for success, the manager has to lead his
or her team to adapt and cope with favorable and unfavorable environment affecting the growth
and development of the organization.
As the manager of my firm, I must make the future of this organization better than the
past. I have to cope with the challenges that may come my way by using certain approaches to
address these challenges. As a manager, from the past experience, some of the challenges that we
have been facing include,
 Challenged when creating an ethical organization
 Challenge to foster the spirit of invention and innovation in our organization
 Challenge in leveraging culture and diversity.
Strategic objectives
To be successful I am driven by setting objectives and vision of leading an organization
that considers ethics, respect for cultural difference and diversification and ensure that every
member of our organization is thinking in line of always being inventive, innovative in ways that
will help us come with solutions to situations and technicalities.
Approaches to apply
a. Creating an ethical organizational that recognizes the existence of different cultures
and diversification.
Ethics has been a major noted challenge within our organization. Ethics should make us
unique. The relationships between ethics, culture, and diversity have both positive and negative
effect on the organization. The most appropriate technique to help deal with the situation would
equip every worker with the desire to treat fellow employees in the right way. This should flow
from the managerial positions to the lowest position in the organization. It doesn’t matter which
race, age, gender or belief a worker has, and there is the need to balance all needs of our workers,
stakeholders, and customers a way of portraying a positive ethical dimension in a management
role. Since ethical values are determined by several factors, we have to create a culture in our
organizations that are not compromised and at the same not flexible to prevent unethical
misconduct. Some of the ways to cope with this challenge are the use of certain strategies. They
include;
1. The utilitarian approach
This is a strategy that will help me deal with shaping ethical decisions made within our
organizations. Considering this strategy, the best way to overcome the ethical dilemma is
considering the consequences of all actions that every stakeholder within the organization will
undertake. For the future prosperity of this organization, it is very important that every
stakeholder and every entity’s interest is considered equally during decision making. When
choosing options, considering the most ethical option that can produce the best balance of
benefits than oppress to most stakeholders or entity is what I shall consider. (Capsim, 2018)

2. The rights approach
To cope and manage our organization for the future as a manager is very important that I
ensure more respect for human dignity. Managing my leadership ethics will also make the
subordinates copy the same virtues. As the manager, I should better and ensure that every worker
is free to make choices, treated equally and can choose freely on how they are going to live
holding the organization code of conduct constant. My management should not interfere closely
with one’s belief, religion or personal way of life. This strategy will help solve issues related to
unethical practices. (Capsim, 2018)
In addition to that, culture has been another challenge related to ethics, which has been
affecting our organization. For the better future of this organization, it’s very important that we
adopt a positive organizational culture as well as a national culture that will influence positively
on our productivity. To create a positive organizational culture, the following approaches and
strategies will be of help:
1. Determination of the organizational values as a team. Involving all stakeholders in the
review of the organizational values over time creates a strong and positive organizational
culture where all stakeholders are motivated towards achieving a common goal.
2. Positive communication: creating a culture where employees, staff, and all stakeholders
can communicate effectively will help solve the challenges of unsupportive relationship
culture.
3. Employee feedback will help me solve a challenging case, where after a performance
review; the employee could not know the areas they need to work on. With a culture of
constructive and timely employee feedback, then the organization will have a prosperous
future. (Schein, 2004)
Lastly, it’s very important to uphold the existence of diversification. My thoughts as the
manager should be diverse along with ethics and culture. The workplace diversification in the
future should not only be limited to gender and ethnicity but more of age, race, gender,
personality, and ethnicity. These factors when considered will help me play a successful
management role for the better future of our organization.
