2. If you were Mr. Ramchandran, whom would you select as the head of
the Marketing Department? Why?
I think Pramod Kumar would be better option because as he is a leader
who consult his employees before making any decision which is
motivating factor for employees who work under him and this leads to
increase their performance which will then improve overall marketing
department performance. Also Pramod is with the organization for 11
years so he must know the organization better than Rajesh Mehta.
Although both candidates have their own strengths, Kumar’s leadership
style more suitable for a new department that needs to be established. His
ability to consult with others and encourage participation can help in
building a strong team and fostering a positive work environment, which
is crucial for the success of a new department. Additionally, his track
record of improving production in his work force is impressive.
3. Will you give any weightage to the length of service in the
organization? Why?
I would definitely give importance to length of service as employees who
have been with the company for many years have considerable
knowledge of the company’s culture and it’s products and services. They
have experienced many changes within the workplace, and consequently
understand what works and what doesn’t. In performing their job duties
day after day, they develop a strong knowledge base, which results in
higher productivity because fewer mistakes are made. Length of service
in the organization can be a factor to consider when making promotion
decisions, but it should not be the only factor. While long service in the
organization may indicate loyalty and commitment, it does not
necessarily mean that the employee is the most qualified for the position.
Factors such as job performance, leadership skills, and relevant
experience should also be considered.
