Any organization hoping to operate for the long term must ensure it has functional and efficient risk management processes. This would go a long way in reducing disasters and strategically protecting the company's critical assets. Processes must assume their roles and ensure that they function throughout the postulated lifespan of the organization (Haddow G. et.al. 2007, p.496). The processes should have the four phases of disaster management, namely; Prevention or mitigation, preparation, response, recovery or reconstruction. Additionally, the company should form a risk recovery steering committee within the organization. The committee will be made up of representatives from all sectors of the organization and will include senior executives and company representatives. This would ensure that business continuity needs are met and ensure project support from the entire organization from its inception. The committee should oversee the implementation of risk management policies. You also need to reevaluate the leadership skills used by the organization. The world as we know it today has embraced democracy in all its spheres. Despite the capitalist notions in the world economy in today's world, most organizational leaders must appreciate the fact that having democratic leadership improves employee morale thus influencing their production to higher levels. CoalBlack's leadership should therefore make pragmatic changes from its current state to one that places emphasis not on getting the job done but rather on how to best do it. This would thus open the organization to dialogue between the management and employees and thus improve their relationship. ultimat...... middle of paper...... hand leads them to not be able to lead the organization towards positive change but rather add to its liability risks. It is therefore safe to say that CoalBlack is in desperate need of new management that has pragmatically different operating methods than the previous one. The new management would require my observation so as to make the most necessary changes in the highlighted areas, among others that need change. References Becker, G. S. (1964). Human capital.
