Internal Weaknesses and Strengths
Wells Fargo leading aspects has shown they are strong and manageable. One of the factors of management that has caught my attention is how transparent they are. According to John Stumpf, CEO of Wells Fargo, if an employee wants to say it, just say it! Stumpf said that managers have learned to disagree without being disagreeable. The fact that they care for their customers so much, they tend to likewise care for their employees.
Leading is probably the pinnacle of Wells Fargo. When it comes to leading it shows how employees are being taken care of by its supervisors. Wells Fargo controlling aspect is probably one of the internal weaknesses of the company. Wells Fargo has made some bad profits. In August 2010, the New York Times has reported that a federal judge ordered Wells Fargo to pay back its California customers $203 million. The judge found that Wells Fargo has made a disorder in the way transactions were made. Instead of receiving the transactions in the order of which it was received, Wells Fargo has the smallest to largest. The judge wrote that Wells Fargo has made those profits by maximizing the amount of profits and squeezing as much as possible. Another aspect of bad controlling of Wells Fargo is bad mortgages. Wells Fargo is being investigated by 50 attorneys general over shoddy foreclosure practices.Its shoddy practices were robo-signing mortgages. The planning aspect of Wells Fargo is outstanding as I see that they are innovative the banking industry into new technology.

...he black in financial statements, they need to work on their strategic plans and controls. They need to deal with their mortgages more ethically and more responsibly. Instead of owning the ignorance of their own customers, they should be more communicative towards them. This will also save them a lot of money on lawsuits and attorney fees. My other opinion as well is that they need to continue in whatever they are doing to be innovative. As history has shown, they are innovative from the beginning. Since they have opened in the 19th century, Wells Fargo has been open to new ways to make business. For example, Wells Fargo has started with a simple mission as delivering new services such as the pony express to now with online banking and mobile deposits. In the next chapter of this capstone research paper, we will discuss recommendations for Wells Fargo stay on top.
Prior to Fuller’s transfer, management at the Carson’s location was poorly run using the classical approach. While this approach can be successful, management has to find a good middle ground between caring for the company and caring about their employees. A traditional classical approach recognizes that there are five important factors to running a successful business (Miller, 19). According to text, these factors are planning, organizing, command, coordination and control (Miller, 19-20). These factors can be seen when you look at Third Bank as a whole. In the study, the CEO saw the issues in his company and put a plan together to improve. He had meetings with management, like fuller, to organize a solution. He then commanded all locations

The ideal is to pair each teller with an assigned banker. If successful the process will create more efficient teamwork and sales. With a banker personally working with a teller, the teller’s customer would never have to wait, in result more sales. In the past, tellers would walk over a customer for a sale, but when the customer notices they have to wait, they will then change their mind. This we will be prevented with the "Buddy Banker" system. Furthermore, This is the one of the most crucial aspects of promoting employees’ sales involvement within Wells Fargo. This will allow Wells Fargo to completely start the involvement that is needed in sales and teamwork. A proposed course of implementation is to have each employees draw numbers. If their numbers match, they will become
In the late 1800s' economy there were many Americans who considered themselves to be business affiliated, but really didn't understand the full meaning of a business or knowing any financial obligations within a business. However, there was one peculiar man John Pierpont Morgan also know as J.P. Morgan who stood out to be a triumphant entrepreneur of many Americans in the late 1800s U.S. Economy.
The banking industry is under pressure in today’s business climate. Banks have been through big changes. There is opportunity, but there is also increasing competition. To be the preferred bank means changing “good enough” into a unique value proposition. And that means changing the way people have always done things, change on this level requires cutting edge technology. Change cannot be achieved with a simple directive or surface adjustment especially within the banking industry. It requires an innovative rethink of the entire system, in a strong partnership between bank leaders and their change agents. New systems and policies must support the strategy to be successful. The real test of a good strategy implementation plan is whether the people understand the strategy, are motivated and enabled to implement it, and actually start achieving its goals.
Another point can be the innovational shopping techniques put forward by the CEO, like the self service checkout stations which tries to provide some form of quality service for the customers.
John Pierpont Morgan is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern United States economy. He was an industrial genius that is accredited with the founding of many companies including General Electric and AT&T. However, Pierpont is looked upon as a saint and demon the same. He received a honorary degree from Harvard university that read: "Public citizen, patron of literature and art, prince among merchants, who by his skill, wisdom and courage, has twice in times of stress repelled a national danger of financial panic." But Robert LaFollette, the Wisconsin progressive, saw him as "a beefy, red-faced thick-necked financial bully, drunk with wealth and power." Despite conflicting opinion on his persona, his influence and character shaped the business world more so than any other person at the turn of the century. Morgan was a banker, railroad czar, industrialist, financier, philanthropist, yachtsman, and ladies' man. He was king to a handful of millionaire barons who controlled the country's wealth in an era of little government regulation.
The problem entailed Vanguards ability to increase future customers without increasing costs. Markets are ever-changing, and the ability of companies to adapt to these changes is the key to survival. One company mentioned specifically in the case was Citigroup. Their ability to adapt to market changes and become a giant in the investments segment as a “one-stop financial supermarket” is a prime example. Should Vanguard take on this type of adaptation or stick to their current business objectives?
The 2013 article reported that Wells Fargo had an unhealthy “pressure-cooker” sales culture. At the time of the report, Wells Fargo was the United States’ leading bank in add-on services. The promotion of add-on services is an activity known as cross-selling. Wells Fargo noted its ability to cross-sell in its earnings reports. Proficiency in cross-selling led to increased profits and customer loyalty. However, there was a dark side to this success. Pressure from management to meet sales quotas led to lowered employee morale and opened up opportunities for customers to act unethically. Several branch managers and workers for Wells Fargo from different regions unveiled the stressful environment of the bank. One branch manager from Florida admitted that regional bosses would hold hour long conferences to monitor progress towards daily quotas. Employees who did not meet their quotas were threatened with termination. Wells Fargo’s bankers were often told “they would end up working at McDonald’s.” Another employee reported that management would coach employees how to inflate sales numbers. This employee admitted to giving customers unneeded accounts, but he claimed it was never without authorization. However, he pointed how other employees would open up duplicate accounts for customers without their knowledge and assign them credit cards without their consent. This

In summary the five management functions were used at my time with Comcast Corporation. Each function is crucial to the success of the organization, its employees and their relationship with management. By all means “the linkages between the five management functions make them inseparable activities. Successful managers understand the links and carefully follow through on every aspect of the management program” (Baack, et al., 8.2). Without the influences of the management practices I mentioned, Comcast Corporation would not be a successful organization and I would not have had the joy of furthering my career there. It is important to work for a company that believes in its employee’s success and job welfare while operating under the management practices of planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling.
The company promotes an aggressive strategy that they believe is the basis to accomplish their vision.
