MANAGEMENT
CVF framework comprises of four quadrants: flexibility, external orientation, stability
and internal orientation. The quadrants of the framework consists of a particular culture,
which are clan, adhocracy, market and hierarchy. Adherence to these culture types seems to
be fruitful for the managers in terms of selecting the appropriate values, skills, abilities and
competencies needed for creating a culture of leadership (Tong and Arvey 2015). In this
context, mention can be made of the clan culture, which is relevant for the managers to
induce collaboration into the workplace performance.
Along with this, mention can be made of the market culture, which the managers can
adopt for preparing the employees for the competitive culture. Within this, one of the
important aspect is that of the goal achievement, which drives the employees to the path of
leadership. Motivating the employees is assistance towards ensuring the fact that they take
proper decisions to secure their future in the workplace. In this aspect, Watts’ arguments
develops a comparative study for reaching to the appropriate skills, competencies and
abilities needed for ensuring personal and professional development (Youtube.com 2019).
As per the arguments of Tong and Arvey (2015), the managers can articulate their
management style. This approach would be effective in terms of knowing the strengths,
competencies and abilities of the employees, indicative of the assistance towards executing
the task allocation.
