The organisational structure that the company follows is the matrixstructure which perfectly aligns with the leadership style that has been mentioned above. Teamwork is given precedence instead of personal focuses and people who are a team player learnsand grown in the business (Terera & Ngirande 2014).

The matrix structure can also give rise to internal conflictsand issues. Internal complexity in this organisation structure has high possibility.
