and poor organizational performance, and the person to be blamed should be the boss himself/herself.

The last approach is the clan approach, which means the control system is designed in which employees behaviors are regulated by the shared values, norms, beliefs and other aspects of the organization's culture. This type of system are normally practised by modern organizations such as Google Inc., Microsoft Inc., Yahoo! Inc., Intel Inc. and etc. This system is the most democratic among the three systems. However, a leader who choose this control system should have the abilities to create shared values and norms that can be wholeheartedly accepted by every member of the organization so that every staff will exercise self control and willingness in accepting responsibilities. If errors under this system, again the leader should be blamed as he or she has failed to instill the shared values in the organization.

In whatever kind of control system adopted by a organization to regulated the tasks and duties performed by the staff, the leader should ensure the system is implemented efficiently and effectively so that errors are reduced to the minimal level, or even zero defect. If there is any error committed by the staff, a leader should be blamed and he should take responsibility to rectify the errors and bring the organization back to the right track again.
