Document Summary

Beyond simply telling workers what to do there is an ongoing posititve interaction betqween management and employees. The quote this company tries to address and acknowledge social needs its not autocratic; try to make the environment fun . The fact that management shows attention to the employees and recognizes their needs is an effective way to manage. The workplace is a social system and must be treated as such is evidenced in the fact that kicking horse offers lots of social activities like the ski trips. Leadership roles are given over to employees (eg. when managers are away staff can take over) Self-management: the specialized nature of the roasting work gives the employees a certain level of autonomy ie they have a lot of control themselves over their work. Management considers employees as key to their success and treats them as success so its more about working as a team with employees rather than controlling them.
