Talk:McDonald's

Semi-protected edit request on 17 May 2024

Using a directive decision-making style can be least appropriate in the McDonald’s workplace due to its limitations in fostering employee engagement and innovation. This style, characterized by quick, top-down decisions with limited input from employees, can lead to several drawbacks.

Firstly, a directive approach may stifle employee creativity and reduce morale. McDonald's employees, particularly those on the front lines, often have valuable insights and suggestions for improving operations and customer service. When decisions are made solely by managers without consulting these employees, opportunities for innovation and process improvement can be missed (Tannenbaum & Schmidt, 1973).

Secondly, the directive style can create a rigid work environment where employees feel undervalued and disengaged. This can negatively impact teamwork and communication. For example, when employees are not involved in decision-making processes, they might be less committed to the decisions made, potentially leading to lower productivity and higher turnover rates (Vroom & Jago, 1988).

Moreover, the dynamic and fast-paced nature of McDonald's operations requires flexibility and adaptability. A more inclusive decision-making style, such as participative or consultative, can better harness the diverse perspectives and expertise of the workforce, leading to more effective problem-solving and a more positive organizational culture (Likert, 1967).

In summary, while the directive decision-making style can be effective in urgent situations, it is generally less suitable for the McDonald’s workplace due to its potential to hinder employee engagement, creativity, and adaptability (Yukl, 2013).

 Not done: It doesn't look like this has anything to do with McDonald's specifically, and is also written in argumentative form, which isn't how encyclopedia articles should be formatted. Tollens (talk) 17:37, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Kroc as founder

The stable version of this article lists Kroc as one of the founders, either without qualification or stating he was founder of the Corporation, for at least four years. Today an editor removed Kroc without consensus to do so. I have restored the version of the infobox that lists the brothers as founders of the original store and Kroc as founder of the Corporation. As this article is mostly about the Corporation, I think that's the right way to go, unless there is consensus to remove him altogether, Lard Almighty (talk) 18:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Lard Almighty If Kroc is going to be listed as a founder on account of his role in the creation of McDonald's Corporation, it would make sense to list in the infobox next to "Founded" when said corporation came into existence. Emiya1980 (talk) 22:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
