Question 1
A company is a living organism and like the organ systems that make the body work, each division in a company must serve its function well. Having a leader or collective leadership can affect the success of a structure and as a company grows, the divisions and compositions grow as well. This makes a company more complex and consequently more divisions and departments are needed to be supervised. This complexity is a double edged sword which on one hand provides means to expand the company more and on the other makes management a very difficult task. The battle therefore actually is nonexistent to enemy company but within the core of our very own structure. The greater division we have, the more ineffective the company will function. When the structure has numerous divisions, the chain of command is usually overlooked and weakened upon reaching the lower ranks. Having complicated structure disrupts the common goal of each member (Gino, 2016).
Question 2
As a leader of a company, it is common to receive a barrage of meetings and workload which consequently leads to mismanagement most of the time. But the key in dealing with such problem is proper time management and remain composed. Composure and being level headed definitely makes a person make wise decisions and having proper time management keeps him/her on track (Dillon, 2015). Simple things like having a schedule both mental and written, having goal from short term to long term and having reflection and analysis of your daily accomplishments and failures will help you take control of everyday challenges (Bevins, 2013). The key to the success of a company always starts from within; within the structure and within the individual members which constitutes to the entirety of the company.
