system they solved various issues at right time to reduce the impact of it on future development
and performance.
M1. Analyse the impact of the applications of leadership and management theories on the
effectiveness of a large company
The leadership and management theories has great impact on the organisation

3

various leadership styles are autocratic, democratic, participative, transformational, delegative
and many more which the leaders use as per the different situation. The management style

For example, in Premiere Inn during the seasonal time or peak time the leaders and
management use autocratic and bureaucratic style in order to take decision fast without wasting
time or resources for grabbing the opportunity to increase their brand value and customer base.
During the non seasonal time they use participative and laissez faire style by allowing the
employees to take participation in the future planning related to the new invention and expansion

Whereas, in Tesco the management use transactional or transformational style to bring
changes in their organisation system and culture so the employees feel to be valued along with

Transforming leadership style Allow leaders to change their action and behaviour to fulfil the
needs of employees in order to make better connection with them to working as a team to meet
the aim of company effectively. It helps the management to bring harmony in their company as
well as in all department so they work systematically to save cost, time and resources for

Moreover, in Bentley, employers and manager use mix of these style as per the complexity of
task is the project is important then they use autocratic style to monitor the quality of
performance of each employee strictly as well as evaluate their performance with pre-planned. if
they know the employees are expert and specialised in their area so they use delegative style by
distributing the power or responsibility to them so they lead the task and complete it in
innovation manner (Felfe and Elprana, 2022). If the management of All company unable to adopt

which they give more importance to the customers by increasing the quality of their hospitality
services along with the assign the task to employees by making a team of people who have same
interest area to complete the task efficiently (Gürlek and Çemberci, 2020). Sometimes the
employees feel pressure on them to complete the task within time limit. But in recent time, the
leaders notice that they have to change their culture from role culture to people culture so
employees feel freely to work without any burden which effect their mental and physical health
as well as force them to leave the job for better opportunity.
The mission and vision of Tesco

culture of the company. It refers to the flow of communication and information among the whole

work in an organisation. It has been seen that employees are come from different communities
and have different values which create disagreements, conflicts and difference among their point
of view for performing a task. It is the main reason of poor organization culture which impact the
sales and market value of company. In Premier Inn, there is huge workforce which have different

management give more focus on customers’ needs instead of employees needs which leads to
decrease in morale and motivation among employees as well as many workers decided to leave
