2MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
Introduction
Real time business in Australia is one of the leading organizations in providing
management software and service. However, in the recent time, they are facing various issues in
their internal management. This is due to the reason that the organizational structure of them is
not effective and do not have the capabilities to motivate and engage the employees (Lazaroiu
2015). Employees are facing several issues in the organization. I as an existing employee in this
organization am also facing various issues due to the ineffective organizational structure and
human resource management.
This report will analyze about the weakness and strengths of the organization in relation
to the various aspects which are being considered by the organization. SWOT analysis will be
performed in order to determine the effectiveness of the existing organizational culture and
structure of the organization from the perspective of mine as an employee. Self evaluation will
also be done to determine my effectiveness as a manager.
Evaluation of naturally occurring data
Conversations among the employees and in the internal organization, emails between the
internal stakeholders and the organizational artifacts are the key source of garnering data from
the employees (Rafaeli and Pratt 2013). This data can be used as the tool to determine the
effectiveness of the organization. I being manager also used this tool to determine the
effectiveness of mine among the employees. The data that are being collected from the email and
conversation helps in identifying the trend of the requirement and expectation of the employees
and their current state of mind (Herring, Stein and Virtanen 2013). Data gathered from these

3MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
sources portrays that the approach of the employees towards me is mostly formal and official
mode of communication. Employees do not have the confidence that I as a manager can come up
with any rational solution to any issues. Rather than they feels that I gives more value to the
feeling rather than to the thinking. Moreover, the organizational artifacts also help in determining
the state of mind for the employees. It is being identified that the employees are less interested in
organizational artifacts. This is due to the reason that the organizational pressure that they have
in their mind is acting as a distracting factor for them. Thus, my effectiveness as a manager will
be questioned about my ability to effectively manage the employees.
SWOT analysis
Strengths
I have identified that my strengths as a manger is the effective management of diversity
and sustainability in the organization. This is due to the reason that the Real Time Business is
having diversified workforce which constitute of employees from different social and cultural
background. According to the data gathered from the employees, it is been seen that, maintaining
the diversity among the employees is enhancing the organizational performance and
competitiveness among the employees. Thus, it can be considered as my strength that I am
effectively maintaining the diversity in the organization. Having the characteristics of ISFP type
of personality, I tend to give more value to the feeling. It helps in enhancing the sustainable
development of the organization as well as the employees. According to me, organizational
development should be sustainable in order to enhance their future potential. Moreover,
sustainable development also helps in increasing the level of motivation and engagement of the
employees. The working environment can be managed more effectively.

Weaknesses
One of the key weaknesses being identified of mine is the valuation of feeling more than
that of the thinking. This shows that, I being a manager give more value to the emotions than to
the rationalism. This will have negative impact on the organizational effectiveness. This is due to
the reason that the decisions being taken in the organizations are based on the rational values
rather than based on emotions and feelings. This also may cause personal influence in the
organizational decision. Another weakness being identified with me as the manager is
introversion. According to my type of personality, I am more introverts in nature which can also
pose challenge to the organization. A manager should be extrovert due the reason that he has to
communicate and coordinate with every employee in the organization. Thus, being introvert will
only increase the gap between the employees and the managers in the organization. It will create
adverse impact on the performance of the employees. Moreover, employees will also not feel
comfortable in communicating with an introvert manager.
Opportunities
One of the key opportunities for me as a manager is the trend setting abilities of the
people having ISFP type of personality. According to this type of personality, ISFP people have
the ability to set trend and they are highly competitive. Thus, me belonging from this genre, will
create positive impact on the organization with my degree of competitiveness. The trend setting
characteristic of mine will also help to determine the future potential of the organization.
Determination of the market requirement and business scenario will be more effective.
Moreover, effective determination of the cultural elements in the organization will also help to
increase the competitive advantage of the organization. This is due to the reason that this
organization is having diverse workforce and having employees from different social

5MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
backgrounds. Thus, effective determination of the cultural aspects of the employees will help to
motivate and engage them in the organization. The teamwork will further get enhanced due to
the mutual cooperation and understanding. This is due to the reason that, I being a manger and
belonging from the ISFP type of personality believes in trust and honesty. Thus, this can be used
as an opportunity due to the reason that the initiation of the mutual trust and cooperation will
help to enhance the effective working environment in the organization.
Threats
According to me, independency and freedom is more preferred compared to following of
rules and regulations. Thus, in the corporate organization, this aspect can pose as a threat. This is
due to the fact that corporate organizations operate with having some rules and regulations that
should be strictly followed. However, being a manager, if I cannot bind by the rules then
employees will also not be motivated to follow the organizational rules. This will have negative
effect on the performance of the organization. The ethical principles being followed by the
organization will also get affected due to this. Another threat identified is my lack of
effectiveness in initiating the change in the organization. The present business scenario is rapidly
changing and evolving and business organizations should also adopt the change accordingly.
However, as I am more inclined towards the personal feelings and emotions, thus it will be
difficult for me to implement the change in the organization. This is due to the reason that in the
implementation process of the change management, various employees will have different and
diversified opinions and managing all of these will be difficult for me if the emotions of the
employees are to be considered. Thus, the organizations will face lack of updated approach in the
market and will negatively affect the business portfolio of the organization.

6MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
Moreover, due to the reason of me being an introvert, the communication policy of the
organization will also get affected. In the present business scenario, communication is one of the
important aspects to be considered in enhancing the performance of the organization (Guffey and
Loewy 2012). Thus, due to the fact that I am more introverts in nature, it will be difficult for me
to effectively communicate with the employees and other stakeholders in the organization. The
mechanism of getting and giving feedback from the employees will get adversely affected.
Hence, the effective communication process will be hampered.
Critical analysis of placement in the organization
In this organization, I was first employed as an employee in the personnel department and
afterwards, I was promoted to the post of human resource manager. I was employed in this
organization after going through the interview and selection process of them. In this process, I
was examined thoroughly about my skills and qualifications possessed by me. Accordingly, they
have designed the job responsibilities for me. As a primary employee, I think I was rightly
placed in the organization. However, after promoting to the post of the human resource manager,
I think I was misplaced according to my skills and leadership qualities. They should have
considered the personality aspects of mine before promoting to the post of human resource
manager. I am more introverts in nature and the job responsibility of mine requires effective
communication with the employees. Thus, dissatisfaction was growing with me and the
employees. Due to my lack of communication skills, the employees did not able to effectively
communicate with me regarding their issues and opinions and on the other hand I was also not
able to convey my vision to them due to my lack of communication skill. According to me, jobs
related to managing human resources, which do not require direct handling the employees should
have perfect for me. I possess the required qualification and knowledge to effectively manage the

7MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
human resource in the organization except the communication skills. Thus, according to my
skills I was misplaced in the organization.
Analysis for self improvement
Having analyzed the shortcomings and strengths of mine, it can be concluded that the
there are various areas for improvement are being identified which I need to fulfill. One of the
key areas for improvement which I have identified is my communication skills. The lack of
effective communication skill of mine is affecting the management of the human resources in the
organization. Thus, I should have to go through some sort of training to enhance my
communication skill which will help me in managing the employees more effectively. Another
key issue being identified with me is the nature of mine of being introvert. This shortcoming of
mine is creating barrier in expressing myself in the organization. Thus, employees are also
feeling uncomfortable to discuss with me for their issues. Thus, it is of urgent requirement for
mine to opt for a counseling course in order to overcome this barrier. Another issue that is also
important to be consider is my non-adhering with the rules and regulations of the organization.
Though, according to my type of personality, it is natural that individuals will be more inclined
to freedom.
However, it should also be considered by me that in the organization and in managing the
employees in the organization, this personality type will not be acceptable and applicable. Due to
this reason, the motivation level of the employees will get affected and they will also start to not
follow the organizational rules and regulations. Thus, it should also be rectified on an urgent
basis by me. According to me, the probable solution for this issue is to revise the various rules
and regulations in the organization and identifying the advantage of having those. Once being

8MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
identified the advantages, I think it will be easy for me to accept the regulations in the
organization. The inclination of mine towards the emotions and feeling for the employees should
also be rectified by me. Though there will be no serious issue or consequences for this in the
short run, but in the long run the organization may face serious issue. This is due to the reason
that, business organizations should adopt the change in the market scenario and accordingly have
to change their organizational culture and practice. However, there may be various opinions both
positive and negative of the employees regarding the change which should be managed without
any emotional influence or feelings.
Thus, skill development course regarding the leadership qualities will help me in filtering
out these aspects and will enable me in managing and implementing the organizational change
more effectively. Thus, it can be concluded that, the above mentioned rectification options will
help me in overcoming my shortcomings which will eventually help in effective management of
the human resources in the organization. Moreover, these rectifications will further help me in
enhancing my satisfaction in the workplace. This is due to the reason that the barriers being
faced by me currently is affecting my job satisfaction along with the employees’. Thus,
rectification will help to overcome these barriers.
