Laing homes has a tall organizational structure in every department of the business because they have their board of directors then they have the site managers then they have the people who work underneath them then you have the people who are low like the janitors.
See in laing homes it take ages to get the information which is done at a board meeting, it take about 1 week for the information to get to the people. This is bad because if there is problem it wont reach some of the people within a certain time.
Laing homes culture as I have said before is all about the teamwork and them working in a family. Their tasks in this family are to agree the best that they can and then they can make more money from the people.
Their roles in the business is to do their job because that’s what they have been employed for and as a result of this they are able to make the people do their best.
The management style of Laing homes is a total quality management style this is because they are able delight the customer. Laing homes seeks to make their family happy when they are working and they also want to make the people who they sell the work to happy as well because then they are able to spreads the word of their company without extra marketing and then they are able to save money.
Laing homes are a democratic style of management.
The management style of Laing homes is that they are a democratic style of management.
Democratic style of management is when this involves empowerment. Individuals and teams are given the responsibility to make the decisions usually within the framework. The team s held accountable if there is a problem that has happened in the business. The whole point of democratic plans is when the manager of the business lets his crew do the work for him and or her so that they do not have to do the majority of the work. But at the end of the day when the work is done then the manager decides weather or no to take the work and at the end f the day it is his or hers decision to make.
In Laing homes there is a tall organizational structure where there are many links in the chains of the business.
What happens is that there is a board meeting between the board directors; there are about 5 board or directors. In the meetings they discuss many things like how to improve the business. These meetings happen once every fortnight. All of the managers of separate departments then call each other and arrange this. There is the finance department and then there is the research and development department then there is the commercial manager then there is the construction manager then there is the marketing manager and when they meet with each other they all report back to each other how they are doing.
Then when these managers meet with each other in the board meetings they then report back to their staff and they then have a staff meeting when they discuss if there are any problems and when they do this is the staff have a problem they then tell their managers and the problem with this system is that it takes 2 weeks to then discuss the problems that the staff have and that is very wrong and that is being very stupid and I disagree with this.
Then there are staff meeting where certain factions of the people then see each other in meetings and they discuss certain problems then there is the informal meetings where if there are any problems between the people then they could sort out their problems of there are problems naturally.
The style of Laing homes, which is a democratic style of management and their tall organization structure, goes quite well together.
Now the links between the 2 styles, which are like each other, are as follows
A tall organizational structure is where there are a lot of links within the business. There are a lot of branches in the tree of the business and then because of this it takes a long time to communicate. Because it takes a long time to communicate it then means that the best style to suit the style of Laing homes is the democratic style. This is because the democratic style is when they are able to ask the opinions of the people within the business and then they are able to then decide if or if not they will listen. At the end of the day it is the manager of that certain department which decides if or if not they are able to go with the flow if you get me.
If it were autocratic then only the manager would have a say in the department and the only say. This style would not suit Laing homes because they have a lot of branches in the department and then because of this they have a lot of managers and then as a result of this they have to have a certain style where they can adapt to manager who manages them. This is why they use a democratic style
Lasses faire is all about the lazing about and laing has a business where they have to make a lot of money and then because of this they have to make it disciplined and the only say. This style would not suit Laing homes because they have a lot of branches in the department and then because of this they have a lot of managers and then as a result of this they have to have a certain style where they can adapt to manager who manages them. This is why they use a democratic style
Lassez faire is all about the lazing about and laing has a business where they have to make a lot of money and then because of this they have to make it disciplined and then that means that they have to make it democratic and not a free flowing thing.
So because of all of this the best type of business is going to the tall and democratic style so Laing has done well when it comes to this type of department structure etc.
The feeling within Laing homes is one where there is a good feel within the business. This is because within each department there is a style where they interrelate with each other where they are able to listen to music and then if there is also a problem within the business then they can talk to the managers and basically there is a feeling where they are able be like a family.
This is well suited to the departments because as Laing is a tall organizational structure as a result of this it is very difficult for the low class workers to get to the top bosses and as a result they have to speak to the low managers so that they can get to the top people. As a result what they do is have a family type of feeling within the business so that they are able to relate to each other because as I have said before it is hard to get to the top bosses.
At the end of the day both of these two interrelate because they are able to do so because as a result of this tall structure they have to have a family style of business so that they are able to speak to the bosses and make it easier to talk to each other so that then they company is able to seek everybody and what they want and what they want to do and that no one feels small within the company and also so that they don’t feel sad if no one listens to them
This is very typical within building businesses to have a democratic style of work. This is because there are a lot of branches in the systems of the building departments in places like barret homes and also wimpy because that’s how the business is like. As a result of this then it is well suited to the business as I have said before at the top these style and types of business is good for the building sites as my reasons have been declared above.
