Introduction The success of any organization is directly influenced by the management strategies that the organization utilizes. The importance of sound human resource management can not be under estimated. Organizations with a vision for both short term and long-term success attach great importance to efficient and effective management strategies. Unfortunately, The Den appears to be stumbling in the dark without these strategies. The organization is ailing badly and immediate attention is required for it to restore the trust of its employees, clients and funders. Most of the problems that Den is experiencing are directly attributable to poor management strategies to a point where its employees are skeptical about its future. When the staff is appreciated, then their output increases and the clients are satisfied. Satisfaction of the people that an organization serves is the most important ingredient of success. This satisfaction can only be realized if the staff of the organization is satisfied. Furthermore, The Den relies on funding to meet its staff and running costs therefore presenting a challenge for the organization’s management to please the funders. Therefore, the new head of center will adopt a strategy that seeks to guarantee client, staff and funder’s satisfaction through engagement of the staff.

It will demonstrate that The Den Arts Center is committed to staff empowerment as well as the achievement of the organization’s objectives. The Den seems to have lost focus of where it is going. The organization seems to be undertaking projects without a clear vision of the future. Strategic planning is a requirement for any organization whose management is objective. In this breadth, the organization will adopt a strategic plan on human resource management by setting goals, strategies and stipulating the resources needed, the performance of employees will be appraised and finally the degree of achievement of the organization’s objectives will be reported (Paauwe 2009, p 23). Members of staff are expected to deliver and explain the reasons for their failure in event that they fail to meet the expected results. Every employee will be required to align himself/herself with the organization’s objective (Becker and Gerhard, 1996, pp. 79-80) Achievement of the organizations objective will obviously co
