Solution 6:Manage from the bottom up

Good management structure is very important to the business success. Bottom-up management turns the traditional organization model upside down, it challenges the way of management interacting with employees traditionally.

The young and ambitious manager is motivated by power, reponsibility, and prestige, he is able to accomplish his achievements. Accordong to Herzberg's motivation theory, to improve in recognition, responsibility, work itself, achievement and etc these areas will lead to increase in motivation. Bottom-up management is quite suitable for companies at this moment, it invloves job enrichment and job enpowerment, which motivates staff and also increases productivity,

Usually, the employees' direct manager is the one that has huge influence in measuring the performance of employees. I think every employee can provide strengths for the managers to learn and become better in management. Though there are few drawbacks with this approach, in the long run, the “bottom up management” is a better way to improve manager accountability.

For Bottom Up Management, the biggest disadvantage i think is that the manager is not a subscriber and out of ideas. And the biggest advantage is that he has a total understanding of the whole structure of the company. and the manager will always have the respect of the people below, and also he will have a better understanding of the rick factors in running a business.

Also, i think many banks in the UK should start the bottom-up management, especially those having so many troubles at this time.
