Suppose you are on the controller’s staff at a large company. You have suggested assigning responsibility for the company’s equipment to specific individuals. One supervisor has objected, saying it is a waste of time. Defend your suggestion to the controller and to the supervisor.
It is important to assign equipment to specific individuals. It
demonstrates the effectiveness of the managerial to distribute task
based on the specific capability of the employees. However one of
the supervisors has objected this fact. This signifies that he is
not intended to specify jobs according to qualifications and
specifications.
Distributing equipment based on the capabilities of the personality
should be the ultimate focus of the managerial. Inefficiency in the
equipment distribution is a hindrance to the progress of
organizational tasks effectively. Thus, the objection of the
supervisor saying it is a waste of time opposes the organizational
aim of a quality outcome. I must suggest to the supervisor and
controller to assign responsibility for the company’s equipment to
specific individuals through the below-mentioned points.
• Assigning responsibility to the specific individual promotes the
possibility of successful outcome more effectively
• Providing equipment to the persons who are efficient in handling
strongly ensures a successful outcome
• It authenticates the ethical criteria of equipment distribution
according to the qualification and capability of using specific
equipment.
• It is not a waste of time, instead, it helps to conduct
organizational tasks effectively as all the equipment can be
handled efficiently by equipment experts.
Thus, it is important to assign responsibility for the company’s
equipment to specific individuals.
