What are the major barriers related to employees and managers when you implement centralized management from decentralized management? Consider communication, job structure, capabilities of employees, etc.
The main barrier of a decentralized organization is that you lose control over the day-to-day activities of your company. Maybe “lose” is too strong a word, but you are ceding authority to your managers, which means that you trust their instincts, skills, and talents. However, that can backfire, if your managers aren’t up to the task, which can cause conflict between managers and staff, and between you and your managers.
Another barrier is that your managers may have a different agenda from yours, which can create a schism between the goals you want to advance and the goals they want to advance. For example, a mid-level manager may be more interested in growing his department than in meeting performance standards.
