Q. Management
is situational, Management is
universal, Explain how both of the above are true?Situational management: A situational manager adapts his management style
to the changing needs of a business or to changing requirements of customers.

Teamwork: Getting input
from the clerk as to the current volume of inventory in the warehouse. Also,
only accepting a token delivery, allowing the manager to follow on with a more
substantial plan, which would also secure her credibility to her customers.Decisiveness: The ability
to assess the situation and determine how much volume to accept.
Restraint: Only accepting
enough incoming inventory into the warehouse to keep the customer satisfied,
while allowing the manager to arrive and take charge of the situation.Time
Management: Choosing which steps to follow in a logical sequence which allowed Jan
to completely investigate the situation without making the customer wait too
long for a call back.
Customer
Service: Jan responded to the customer in a timely manner as promised, while
upholding the company’s reputation of being responsive to his needs.Interpersonal: Jan did not
draw any personal conclusions about the missing manager. She looked at the
situation for what it was and called on the clerk to assist in managing the
situation. This went a long way towards helping the clerk realize the respect
and esteem Jan had for him. Once she had an action to resolve the problem
developed and implemented she called her boss and gave him a brief overview of
her actions and the customer's response. Jan's restraint also showed respect
for the manager and his position.
