Internal Influences - Management

The tone / approach of management team; decision-making processes; leadership styles of executive team; hierarchy / organisational structure.

The way in which a business is managed is an enormous influence on business success (productivity, revenue, profit). 

Poorly managed businesses reduce workplace culture, make bad decisions, and create tension in the workforce - increasing staff turnover.

Autocratic leadership styles, traditional organisational structures (rigid, top-down) and centralised decision-making can lead to poor business performance.

Modern firms are moving toward flatter structures, delegating more autonomy to employees in decision-making, and using team-based structures to lift business culture and performance.
