]]> 2025-07-08 14:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513798099 Autocratic https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513798574 +Works well for employees who like clear guidance and step by step processes

+Can be more useful for junior staff

+Provides more structure and clear expectations

  • Lower employee power/authority

  • Can be demotivating for certain staff

  • Personalities can clash

]]> 2025-07-08 14:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799037 Leadership https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799223 Democratic - current employees have expertise in the Stylist Standard business so should be involved in decision making processes

]]> 2025-07-08 14:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799223 Leadership https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799254 Collabiration will be extremely important due to the knowledge or lack of from the Trimayr managers

]]> 2025-07-08 14:20:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799254 Maybe a mix of styles would be best to accommodate all employees https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799835 Laissez-faire probs not best if underperforming.

  • Mix of autocratic and democratic leadership might motivate employees depending on their preferences and personalities

  • Assess which employees respond better to which style and go from there

]]> 2025-07-08 14:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513799835 Staff survey to find out what's gone wrong - are they unhappy with culture, pay, benefits https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800358 2025-07-08 14:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800358 Away days for team engagement, reward and recognition, training opportunities, fact finding to address lack of engagement. https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800419 2025-07-08 14:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800419 https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800425 participative style - work with the 3 managers of Stylist to gain an understanding of the processes involved in the manufacturing side of things as Trimayr's managers don't have this knowledge

]]> 2025-07-08 14:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800425 https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800596 Unlikely to work to take a commanding / autocratic approach - people don't have existing relationships with the managers, unlikely to respond well to force. Need to take a more communicative / democratic approach to build relationship and understand individual needs.

]]> 2025-07-08 14:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513800868 Team Engagement https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801150 Try and get the staff on notice period to change their minds

]]> 2025-07-08 14:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801150 Team engagement https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801186 Perhaps there were bonus structured incentives at the Stylist's Standard prior to acquisition that are no longer implemented at Trimayr. This could be why performance has been deteriorating, as Trimayr is not actively engaging the team in the most effective way. Additionally, the increased level of staff handing in their notice is a concern and perhaps responses a change in the leadership style, to be more similar to how things were run prior to acquisition. It also doesn't help that the staff they have seconded do not have expertience in manufacturing and thus the three managers from Stylist's Standard may be dissatisfied with their team members and perhaps Trimayr has not kept them up to date with developments regarding the new hires coming in/are not including them in this process - where their expertise and input would be vital given they will be working with them day to day.

]]> 2025-07-08 14:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801186 What's causing low performance - any change in BAU operations or is it purely management/people based? https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801299 2025-07-08 14:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801299 Leadership Approaches https://padlet.com/kaplaneducation/zzwv6vgr9wct7sjc/wish/3513801427 Authoritative - may struggle with this approach. Need to utilise expertise around them in product manufacturing (i.e. remaining Stylist Standard's management and staff) and be opening to learning new aspects of the role.


Transformative and democratic - would make more sense to take a transformative approach - attempt to have new skills, both for themselves and staff, and boost morale by taking on ideas from those around them. Based on recent high staff turnover, it will be important to keep morale high especially for new management coming in.


The management need to work closely with those with the expertise, displaying a flatter hierachy/organisational structure for the time being.
