Decision-Making and Negotiation Process

 Nojax is presently using a centralized decision-making process, which means that decisions are made by senior management. Senior management then provides the orders to the lower-level managers who pass on the information to the remainder of the employees. Due to the complication of this process, the company should consider altering its decision-making process and see if it enhances productive discussions. Discussions cannot be beneficial if management does not have a good rapport with its employees, and this requires a more individualized approach instead of a powerful approach. Therefore, the hierarchy must develop a level playing field for discussions to be reasonable.

NoJax can enhance its decision-making process in the areas where they are vulnerable by executing a different leadership style. The company should include lower-level employees in the process instead of the current method that they are currently using, which is inflexible and bureaucratic. This process would let every employee have an opportunity to contribute ideas, which in turn would boost the employee's work ethics as they will feel that they have a say in the company and make a difference. The most critical aspect is to make sure that the inflexibility that the company is based on is removed in order to achieve an effective decision-making process.

Management Style 

Each person in management has a leadership style. First, let us address the Department Managers. Alice Bloom has a high-ranking level for extraversion but a low-ranking level for openness. Since Alice is an extrovert, she should concentrate on action-oriented tasks and listen to suggestions from the employees. Next, Janet Johnson has a high-ranking level of extraversion but a low-ranking level of emotional stability. Due to the low level of stability, she is more predisposed to irritability and nervous breakdowns. Janet should avoid settings that would involve confrontations to lessen emotional breakdowns in the workplace. Last But Not Least, Orlando Grant has an overall balanced personality. He possesses traits of extraversion, agreeableness, emotional stability, and openness. These traits will not adversely affect his relationship with employees. However, he does have a low conscientiousness attribute and should interact more with employees on developing some routine to improve this trait.

Next, let us move on to the product managers. The running shoes product manager is Carrie Durant, who has an inclusive level of medium-ranking in her character traits except for agreeableness, which is high. She should utilize her traits to implement new ideas that the employees share with her. Then is Jesse Mercado; she has a high conscientiousness trait and should apply these to completing products promptly and the fine details. Lynn Bryant, who is another department manager, has high-level emotional stability and conscientiousness trait. Due to both attributes being high, she would be a perfect go-to person to take over when emotions are high. Finally, is Anam Basra, the lifting apparel product manager. He has a high agreeableness trait; she should utilize this trait to trust her team's creative aspects and create and implement those new ideas.

NoJax should embrace change within their organization but still ensure that it preserves some of the most critical aspects of its existing culture. These changes can be attained during the hiring process by hiring those people who can offer new, creative, and fresh ideas. Another way for them to reach change is through development in technology and advertising of products. Management should make employees a vital part of the decision-making process rather than exclude them. Management should be adaptable and open-minded during the hiring process and avoid being rigorous on whom they contemplate. Also, it would help the younger associates if they were allocated to an established manager to balance out the department on expertise and current trends. Employees should be inspired to engage in activities that would help the company. These are all conclusive ways to make sure that the management maintains the current culture but, at the same time, minimizes the resistance to change.
