QUESTION #2: (40 pоints). Pleаse indicаte оn yоur аnswer sheet where you are addressing each part (A - C) of the question. You could tell when you received the call from Barry that he was pretty stressed out. You knew from your interactions with him in the past that he tended to be a pretty “high strung” and excitable person when he was under stress. And, based on the conversation with him on the phone, you knew he was under stress now because even though he had just been hired into an important leadership position at a new company, he was facing several significant challenges in the new position. The first challenge Barry faced was that it was only after he was hired into the position that he realized that the reason that the organization was looking for a new manager was that the previous manager was an autocratic person, who tended to get his way by manipulating and bullying employees around and acting as though he was the authority on everything. This former manager was extremely harmful to the organization not only because of the chilling” effect he had on employee morale and loyalty to the company, but also because one of the informal leaders among the employees (Chris) had united a relatively small, but active group of eight employees to try to certify a union. Chris had been with the organization for several years and was respected by other employees because he was a hard-worker, had a commitment to the other members of the team he worked with, and was one of the few people in the organization who had stood up to the previous manager. In addition, based on his brief interactions with Chris, it was also obvious to Barry that Chris did not trust anyone in a management position, and that he intended to move ahead with his attempt to get the union certified. Although there were several other employees (comprised of a group of about 20 employees) who did not actively support Chris’ position regarding the need for a union, the one thing that Barry noticed about this group of employees is that most of them felt disillusioned about their jobs and the organization and they appeared to be “burnt out” by all the “drama” that had taken place with the previous leader. After giving you this background, Barry indicated that he had three questions for you. The first question was how Barry should deal with Chris. Barry said that even though he had contemplated firing Chris, he realized that was not a viable option to the problem because Chris was respected by the other employees in the group and firing him would only sour the group’s attitudes about management even more; and because he might be in violation of rules set out in the National Labor Relations Act. So, Barry wanted to know what you felt he could do to turn Chris around. (In answering this question, I am looking for the advice you would give Barry based on Cialdini’s work on influence and how it could be applied in this situation. In other words, I want you to tell me specifically how you would use Cialdini’s “weapons” to influence Chris. To be comprehensive, your answer should define the weapons, describe why they work, and explain how they can be used to influence Chris in this specific situation.) The second question was how he was going to restore and strengthen the resolve of the other employees that he was now managing. It was obvious from what Barry had learned in his short time in his new job that many of the employees were disillusioned and felt somewhat helpless about the things that had transpired while the previous manager was in charge. As you listened to Barry talk about this issue, you immediately began to think about the things that Kouzes and Posner indicated that were necessary for leaders to do to strengthen others. What are the factors that Kouzes and Posner say are the keys to strengthening others? Based on these factors, what would you advise Barry to think about to strengthen the employees in his organization? The final question Barry had for you is how prevalent you thought the problem with the previous manager was? More specifically, he asked you what you thought the main reasons that most managers lose their job. (Please incorporate a discussion from Van Velsor and Leslie’s research on why managers’ derail to explain possible reasons why the previous manager failed.)
