Identify the extent to which power and authority are delegated in the organisation. Is it centralised or decentralised? Discuss the chain of command (does it has wide span of control or narrow span of control).

Leaders need to motivate their subordinates. Identify and discuss the types of leadership style being carried out in the organization. How are managers or supervisors able to influence and direct workers.

Are those leadership styles effective in influencing the behaviour in the organization? Why or why not.

There are various types of motivation factors that are used in influencing the behaviour of workers in organization. In your chosen organisation, how are managers and supervisors able to empower employees and what are some of the incentives they provide employees which motivate workers to perform?
