Leadership Styles (HR. Department)
Nishat Linen is the best business group working in
Pakistan. The leaders and managers of Nishat experiencing the democratic
leadership style in workplace as they are supportive and helping the
subordinates as per their problem concerns. Moreover, the company's leader
believe that they are honest with their job and subordinate and in return, the
subordinate do the same with them.
On
the basis of The different interviews which we have collected from the
different executives of the company we concluded that their leadership styles
are on situational basis usually they use democratic leadership styles but when
the situation went out of control they also use autocratic leadership. We also
did some random interviews from the different employees of the company
regarding to the behavior of their top management they answered.
1- Employee
The behavior of my supervisor is
quite helping and friendly I ask and share every type of problems with him and
he guided me very well, some time on my mistakes he called me in office and ask
me the reasons of the mistakes and told me the solutions.
2- Employee
I
am working here from last 3 years , in these 3 years I learn a lot of things
from my boss, he told me how to handle the pressure situations , I also learn
helping to others and be honest with the job from my boss,
From the
interviews we collected from different executives of HR department we came to
know the issues which they currently dealing are
·
Privacy of Data
·
Conflicts among employees
·
Job setting
Conflicts
mostly occurred due the variation b/w bonuses they give to the employees, for
example some time employee made assumptions that I am doing more better than
other so therefore I should receive higher bonus than others, another issue is
job setting of the employees which came from different backgrounds either he
can be suitable for the place or the post which we are offering him, sometimes
employee get bored from the same job during long time than this became also an
issue to rotate their jobs.
3B. Areas that should be improved
According
the data we have collected the areas which should be improved are.
·
Employees
Empowerment
·
Communication
Hierarchy of the Company
·
Promotional
Strategies
Employees
Empowerment
Through the random short interviews
with some employees in HR dept. we came to know that employees are just do what
the higher authorities asked them to do. They cant do anything according to
their understandings.
Communication Hierarchy
of the Company
|
|
|
|
Another thing which we noticed is
the communication hierarchy of the company , there is indirect communication
b/w the employees and the top management of , if one employee considered
something negative for the company or some unjust behaviors than He can’t talk directly
to the top management of the company, if he has some issues than he has to
follow the following hierarchy of the company.
 |
Promotional
Strategies
We
asked this question from the different employees in HR dept. and the answer we
got same that the promotions are be done the basis of favoritism if you are more close to your
manager than you get early promotions
