LB5241 Leadership

Waste management is one of the most relevant problems in any country and effective leadership process needs to be implemented for the formulation of better consequences. The issue of recycling and decomposition of those waste are not happening at all the times, so an impact on the environment and effect on the social-cultural process is there.

In Australia, development of infrastructures and process of innovations are the most important things that determines the right way of progress. Waste can be extracted by any means like the commercial, industrial, municipal, construction and demolition. There are some components, which are related to the human-like paper, plastic, glass, metal and some of the organic things are harmful to the social and environmental aspect (Cresswell & Sheikh, 2013). Through the shed of competing for value framework, waste management has aligned in their process. The process of organisational culture and framework values has been identified in that process.

The major issue, in that case, is the recycling process in Australia. The process of dumped landfills is important in that case and Australia is not able to accumulate more waste through this process. The limits are over and they have reached their ultimatum at that time. The basic issue at that moment is the crisis of recycling in Australia. Waste has been stockpiled and dumped domestically (Theconversation.com, 2018). This is the reason domestic waste setup has reached its mark. In the case of previous years, China has taken most of the solid waste to their nation. Last year, 600,000 tonnes of waste has been exported to China. However, the situation has changed and many of the local councils consider to change the process as China prohibited the process of the waste entrance from Australia (Theconversation.com, 2018). China’s recent ban over imported solid waste is the concern reason in that case and those wastes are stockpiled in the nation. Ipswich government has taken some initiatives to change the waste management process and change some internal procedure to motivate their internal people to deliver less waste at one time (Theconversation.com, 2018). The nation has no more options left at their places and using landfill through those waste is not the suitable option to carry on. There is some environmental problem persists in that situation and that is the reason some effective situation needs to be placed so that Australia will mitigate the process.

The major problem in waste management, are aligned with the social and business understanding that interrupted through the process within China and Australia. The major characteristics are:

• The domestic market of Australia is under the threat and percentage of recycling is less than what has gathered.
  
  
• The cost of recycling is huge and as the amount of waste is more than expected, thus there is a challenge for the waste management operational department in the Australian government (Reed et al., 2016).
  
  
• The process of greenhouse gas is effective in the scenario and in case of long-run process decomposition of these materials will harm the entire nation even in outside.
  
  
• The issue regarding levies is also important in that case and the government has taken some steps to mitigate the waste management process (Brugnach, Craps & Dewulf, 2017).Through the process of implementing the situation can be controlled but before the waste management process has enough difficulties for the nation.

The process of implementation like ‘Container refund scheme’ or ‘re-introduce levies’ to normalise the landfill process is important in that case. The makes the waste business at borders. As stated by Vahdat, Smith & Amiri (2014), the normalising process of landfills is important for the low lands but the development of infrastructure and innovative changes accumulate more waste that damages the situation. On contrary Sekerka & Stimelv (2012), highlights the issue of low lands in Australia and the problem faced by the low lands people in Australia The process of decrease in council taxes will not control the entire process as the regulatory waste increases year after year. In most of the cases, Australia generates 50 million tonnes of waste in a year and 55-60% of the waste is being recycled, so this is a clear intimation that most of the waste is not recycled and they store for nothing. These are the waste that creates problems for the social and environmental aspects. The domestic market is too small to handle the waste and that is the recycling scenario in Australia. The business deals with China has been broken in that particular sector and local infrastructure of the waste recycling process is not copping up with the process.

Competing Value Framework is the basic classification of four cultures. The process signifies the operation process of the organisation and also determines the aspect of employees' collaboration. According to Lindgreen et al., (2012), the basic corporate values are maintained in this framework. There are four basic aspects of judgements like flexibility, stability, internal and external process.

The degree of flexibility is important. The people are the central administration in waste management issue. The organisation is held together by the process of loyalty and tradition. The mutual commitment is strong and some of the basic participation defined in that way. In case of controlling the process, hierarchy culture is the process of controlling the behaviour and government agencies are perfectly suited for this culture. Stability and results are the most important part of this and the execution of tasks is the main motive in that case (Schnipper et al., 2015).  The measurable and achievable goals and objectives are the main concern in that case. Market leadership and engagement of competition is the crucial method that retains in such situation. Success is the only motive of this process and through the customer retention process and delivering better customer service is the satisfying term in that case. In the last section, create something focused and flexible is the key process of this section. The creative work environment and encourage employees with the freedom of services is the main aspect in that process, so the execution of the objectives is relevant in that case.

In case of aligning both cases, the situation of Australia and their collaborative actions are relevant in that case. The collaborative formation of waste management and toxic changes in the environment is the key concern that Australia wants to change their waste management process. However, the process is not implemented in the appropriate way as there are increased number of waste sources that contain environmental hazards. As mentioned by Patterson, Smith & Bellamy (2015), the process of controlling the hierarchy and in the right way for the development of cleaning and recycling waste is the basic stable approach that Australia can take at that moment. The market control in Australia has no such situation where waste cannot be generated. There are so many sources in the nation that evolves more waste that the spaces have. So the change in processing, where the minimal amount of waste can be extracted is the key consideration in that case. The business market with China is also poor as the business dealings are stopped and solid wastes are refused by China. The last section of creating adhocracy creating work development allow employees to finish the work. The process of corporate culture and innovative ideas are important in that case. There is some risk of dumping and landfills as some of the wastes are not solid enough to bear the weight of construction, in such cases innovation is important.

The style of management needs to be changed in such critical situation of leadership issue. Leaders of the government and some of the associate non-government departments need to understand the situation that the nation has been suffering since the waste exchange has stopped. The product development and recycling are not formulated in the right way so this is a kind of situation that associated with the level of execution of the process (Zaman, 2014). The leader has to take some strategic changes like tax implementation in organics organisations where the amount of waste will be extracted. An effective way of using plastic, paper and other equipment that creates the problem. The cheap relativity process is important in that case and there are certain changes in container exchange process or change in bagging system all these are effective in that case. Leaders have to rethink the product demonstration and correct recycle process that engages better refection and infrastructure.

Therefore, from the report it can be concluded that the effective impact of the waste management process in Australia faced some drastic changes in social and business-related cases. The issue can be considered as the wicked problem and change in infrastructural management or change in landfilling or dumping most of the issues are going against the process.
