SLP Assignment – Organizational Structure and Culture
In my point of view, Gallup goes in hand with what I just learned and experienced from my former workplace. According to (Gallup, 2008), he states that there are no great companies, there are only great people. My colleagues were more vigorous, but it did not come alone as the team leader was business-oriented. The general performance rose the company to global standards. The club culture, according to McNamara, (2000), urges employees to fit into the group as it is a prerequisite for success. Employees determine the output of the company, and productive employees generate a pleasing production to raise the standards of the company. (Gallup, 2008) states that a company that focuses on situational factors has a high tendency to grow. On academy culture, according to (McNamara, 2000), the organization should provide a conducive environment for its employees in which they can express and develop their skills. I would confirm Gallup's experience in the field as the best, and it opens up the world of productivity. As a team leader, I would like to urge my colleagues to follow Gallup’s steps. It would make them leave a significant mark behind.
McNamara and Gallup share most of the things in common. They single out employees as the main factor of success in an organization and provides knowledge to employees on how to retain or improve their superiority in the market. We share some things in common as creating a favorable environment of employees by quenching their demands, and this motivates the employees to perform their duties wholeheartedly. As Gallup was undertaking his multiyear project, the key variables were profitability, customer satisfaction, productivity, and employee retention. It makes a difference from my plan as my key variables were profitability, raising the organization standards, and employee retention. I also rewarded my best employees who did what was necessary; McNamara states that rewarding creates motivation.
McNamara and Gallup's managerial skills move me to action, and I fetch a lot of knowledge from their experience in the field. I try to incorporate their skills in my organizations, and approximately 75% work out. It has changed my managerial abilities, and the organization is yielding more before the powers were implemented. My colleagues have praised the growth, but it does not work alone. You must fetch knowledge from the legends of your field. I always encourage my colleagues to read journals on how to be successful in their particular areas.

SLP Assignment – Organizational Structure and Culture
In my point of view, Gallup goes in hand with what I just
learned and experienced from my former workplace. According
to (Gallup, 2008), he states that there are no great companies,
there are only great people. My colleagues were more vigorous,
but it did not come alone as the team leader was business-
2. oriented. The general performance rose the company to global
standards. The club culture, according to McNamara, (2000),
urges employees to fit into the group as it is a prerequisite for
success. Employees determine the output of the company, and
productive employees generate a pleasing production to raise
the standards of the company. (Gallup, 2008) states that a
company that focuses on situational factors has a high tendency
to grow. On academy culture, according to (McNamara, 2000),
the organization should provide a conducive environment for its
employees in which they can express and develop their skills. I
would confirm Gallup's experience in the field as the best, and
it opens up the world of productivity. As a team leader, I would
like to urge my colleagues to follow Gallup’s steps. It would
make them leave a significant mark behind.
McNamara and Gallup share most of the things in common.
They single out employees as the main factor of success in an
organization and provides knowledge to employees on how to
retain or improve their superiority in the market. We share some
things in common as creating a favorable environment of
employees by quenching their demands, and this motivates the
employees to perform their duties wholeheartedly. As Gallup
was undertaking his multiyear project, the key variables were
profitability, customer satisfaction, productivity, and employee
retention. It makes a difference from my plan as my key
variables were profitability, raising the organization standards,
and employee retention. I also rewarded my best employees who
did what was necessary; McNamara states that rewarding
creates motivation.
McNamara and Gallup's managerial skills move me to action,
and I fetch a lot of knowledge from their experience in the field.
I try to incorporate their skills in my organizations, and
approximately 75% work out. It has changed my managerial
abilities, and the organization is yielding more before the
powers were implemented. My colleagues have praised the
growth, but it does not work alone. You must fetch knowledge
from the legends of your field. I always encourage my
3. colleagues to read journals on how to be successful in their
particular areas. If all adhere, the organization will have a
significant impact.
The two sources provide solutions on how to cope up with
managerial challenges. During my first weeks in the position, I
was facing a communication challenge. My juniors understood
the message conveyed but wanted to go against my commands. I
had to outsource my fellow managers from related organizations
who equipped me with enough skills to fight such challenges.
McNamara and Gallup provide education on how to handle the
employees to lower chances of disaster occurrence. I solved the
crisis in the organization by managing all the employees in the
right manner and taking a quick response to the challenges they
face.
Great managers easily recognize challenges which they might be
hindering their operations efficiently. They create a productive
culture that is open to allow employees to come up with new
ideas and opportunities to investigate potential ramifications of
such thoughts unafraid of reprisal or dismissal. They hence
realize smart thoughts are not in every case superbly considered
of executable methodologies.

Assignment
Think about the results from the Gallup Survey for a minute,
and how it compares to the Academy, Baseball Team, Fortress,
and Club cultures described by McNamara in the Background
reading.
Then prepare a 2- to 3-page paper addressing:
· In your opinion, do the Gallup results fit your general
expectations or constitute a surprise in some ways? Interpret the
results of the Gallup survey in terms of your own experience,
either to confirm or to question the results. Compare the Gallup
results and your opinions with the McNamara categories.
· The degree to which the Gallup results and the McNamara
9. information tell you similar or dissimilar things about your
organization.
· Does the Gallup survey and the McNamara categories help
improve your managerial understanding and/or skills? What can
you infer from the results about how your organization’s culture
fits or doesn't fit with you? What (if anything) can you do to
make your interaction with the culture more effective?
· Provide your opinion on whether or not the above two sources
in this SLP 4 help you understand the organization and how you
cope with it. Do they accurately depict what is needed to
analyze a company’s culture?
