Another type of democratic leadership which Coca Cola can use is being Consultative. This means that Coca Cola mangers would ask for their staff opinions on how the business can improve in many ways before making the final decisions. The team is encouraged to say what ever they want about the business improving which is taken in mind to the final decision. After Coca Cola have taken in their staff points, the leaders would than make up a final decision which would involve what the staff had to say, their views. However, being consultative would mean that decisions would take longer as Coca Cola would ask each and every one of their staff of what they think could be done to improve the business and the working environment. As well as persuasive leadership being consultative makes the workers feel more involved and motivated in the business and its decisions made. Coca Cola being consultative give s the leaders a chance to see what the staff really thinks of the business and how well it is doing to attract consumers and how well it is doing to motivate and help staff get the best.
Coca Cola also have a culture which is important to the business. The culture of their business has significant influence on their staff and organizational life. All of Coca Cola’s staff loves their work, however they can get some staff that dread the thought of work and find every day stressful due to the culture of the Business not being good. These differences are due to Coca Cola’s culture and culture is important because it can affect many people and things to do with the business. If the culture of the business is not good, it can affect the number of absenteeism and punctuality. This means that if Coca Cola had a hard and unfriendly culture it can force their staff not to come to work because they might be picked on every day by other staff members, or they might not like the work they are given so they either come in late or take a day of work. This would result in the business losing out on work, and have less time to call in for a replacement.
The culture of Coca Cola could have an affect on industrial relations, between managers and workers. So if Coca Cola didn’t have a warm and genial culture it would cause more disagreements between staff and managers and staff would not be motivated to work, for example, staff may have to cut down on rest days, this could cause arguments as all staff would be tired from working everyday and would not have time to recover or spend it with their family. However, if the company had a warm culture then the managers and staff would get very well as staff would have less stress to compete with and would have a friendly environment to work in without having someone constantly shout out at you that the competitors are not far behind.
Uniform is another important part of the Culture for Coca Cola. All members have to wear uniforms to show everyone that Coca Cola is all about cleans and healthy environment and culture. Wearing uniforms gives the impression of a more professional environment. If the staff didn’t wear any uniform than it would show that the culture of the business is rough, unclean and shows others that anyone can go in to the company acting as an employee. The uniforms give identification of the business and identity of all the staff working their.
The strictness of the business can be affected by the culture of the business as; the business should have some rules and regulations which staff needs to follow. If there were no rules than all the staff of Coca Cola would have freedom to do what they like to the business and its products. This would show that the culture of their business is poor and has no care for the working conditions and the business.
Other factors which can affect the business due to the culture of Coca Cola are the atmosphere inside and outside the business and between the workers, do all the workers get along and have no problems. The level of discussion can also be affected, if Coca Cola don’t alert their staff with information about he company what they are planning to do than it will de-motivate them from working and would feel that there is not trust between managers and staff. This could result in staff leaving and working somewhere else. Lastly ethnic minorities can affect the culture of Coca Cola because, if Coca Cola don’t employ different people and they only employ certain employees than the culture of the business would make consumers and other people think the company is only trying to attract certain people and they don’t care about he rest which would result in them losing out on money and selling less product as not a lot would be sold.
