1.1 Introduction
A good management structure is key to the success of any business. For a business to
maximise profit or have success whatever it is they hope to achieve they must have a
management team that can provide each part of four functions of management, planning,
organising, controlling and leading. These four functions are essential for a business to be
profitable and to last, if one of the four functions is missing it can cause internal issues
within the business and lead to poor productivity by staff and as a result a loss of profit.
3.2 Conclusion
While Uber is a successful multibillion dollar company it’s founder Travis Kalanick’s lack of an
effective leadership style and childish inappropriate behaviour could start hurting the company’s
reputation, the motivation of employees and the management team and in turn the profit and
longevity of the company. Transactional and Transformational leadership would both be effective
leadership strategies to keep the staff and management team happy and motivated and from there
the success of the business would continue to grow at the astounding rate that is has since it started.
