1LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS
As an executive of Shell Downstream, I would try to take various types of financial
assistance for the company. The right of the people must also be fulfilled and the people must
also be allowed to control their own property. The process must be participatory and it must
include various stakeholders. It is also necessary for me to monitor and track the progress and
thus confirm whether the objectives are met. I must also ensure that the investment will continue
to lay a positive impact on the local community of South Africa. It is also essential that there is
sustainability in providing the required energy for the growing population of the country and
their safety. It is also necessary for the company to deliver the energy safely and to protect the
environment. This will help in protecting the contractors, employees and the local communities.
The radical economic transformation will also turn the investors of the company (Yulk 2005).
Shell Downstream is trying critically to achieve radical economic transformation. As an
executive of the company, it is my responsibility to entrench the overall policy of the
government and plan the key challenges of industrial and economic growth. This will help in the
removal of poverty, unemployment and inequality among the people. This is important for the
inclusive growth of South Africa. There must be new initiatives which are regarded as part of the
various concentrated efforts and this is necessary to shift the productive base of the economy for
the creation of decent and sustainable jobs. There must be upscale efforts for the inclusive and
the shared growth and this is necessary for the control of management and transformation of
different kinds of ownership. Shell also needs to restructure the business and change it so as to
gain the position in the market. It is trying to retain the position of largest chemical and energy
company and this is offering an adequate return to the shareholders in an increasing pace
(Bryman 2013).

The radical economic transformation will help me in putting the coherent initiatives in a
similar way and it will also help in shifting the productive base of the economy to much higher
level of investment. There are some steps which are needed to be followed and this will also help
in reducing the corruption. The social investment opportunities of Shell will also provide the
people certain development programmes and this has helped them to combat unemployment and
poverty levels. This has helped in improving the safety measures of the children who are
travelling through different modes of transport. It is my duty as an employee to co-ordinate and
collaborate with the other partners and thus this will help in the assistance of the children. It will
also help in creating more employment opportunities such as direct employment or through
various supply chain activities. It will also help in providing additional training programme and
thus help in stimulating the business. Thus, it can be said that as an employee it is necessary and
vital to provide proper medical training to the people. The challenges must also be met in
assistance with the partnerships from other organization (Storey 2004)
