MGT330: Management for Organizations
Team Management Activity and Reflection
Does a leader tend to follow the normal process as others do or do, they change up the culture to
make it more successful? Think about Jeff Bezo’s and Amazon’s structure as a business in
today’s world. Their structure seems to be linked to a hierarchy structure, as they have leaders
above one another along with front-line employees to manage. Bezos, founder and CEO of
Amazon, “shares with his employees to always think and maintain the Day 1 culture and
continue to launch innovative products and services” (Galetti, Golden, Brozovich, 2019). Some
would say that on day one for Amazon, they wanted a culture and structure that matched that of
an adhocracy one. Adhocracy structure is where everyone contributes a little portion of their
daily job to complete the task or goal at hand. This would be the type of culture I would want to
follow as a newly appointed warehouse manager. Although, there are a lot of details that I would
take into consideration when coming into a new environment such as not knowing the
individuals and their work ethics, this would not be an easy task. In the following below, I will
discuss how I would utilize the five management functions; planning, organizing, staffing,
leading, and control to help ensure another business unit and its structure are a success for
Amazon.

Planning
First is the planning portion for a newly appointed leader. What does the planning part consist of
when you are a new manager? In this situation, I want to make sure my employees are still
following the mission statement of Amazon which is to be the Earth’s most customer-centric
company, where customer can find and discover anything, they might want to buy online. I
believe this mission statement is the same for the warehouse also because if there were no
individuals to help pick the orders, the customer would not receive their product on time, then
the company would get a bad review and therefore would not have any customers. In order to
achieve this goal, strategic planning needs to take place. Strategic planning is a purposeful effort
direct by management within an organization, which when conducted effectively, draws on the
knowledge, skills, and abilities of employees at all levels of the organization” (Baack, Reilly, &
Minnick, 2014). Planning is an important part of a leader because this can give you a base or
foundation to start on when it comes to the preparation of certain goals to help the business be
successful. “Bezo’s likes to follow a concept called the “flywheel” which entails a virtuous cycle
of the three main goals at Amazon” (Dumaine, 2020). As a new manager, coming into an
environment I am are unfamiliar with, I want to lean on some of the disciplined employees at
that location to get a sense for how the culture and the workflow is completed daily. With
incorporating the feedback from those leaders on site, I will also analyze each business unit
within the warehouse as this will help my finding where costs are, how much product we are
producing, our production as a warehouse, the quality of the products and more. All of these
items put together can help keep me organized along with starting to build a strong culture.
