Lisas problm is that she does not contribute enough. She is to “shy” and passiv acoording to the text she try to act like a learner. But she have to stand up for herself und share her thoughts with the others so they can see she try everything to get involved. She really needs to contribute! It all comes down to teams, teamwork, individual and group decissions.

That is how they can become a team (Book p. 307)
Do you agree with what was done regarding the problem? Why or why not?
I don’t agree with what was done regarding the problem. They have to work together as a team and seperate Bentons from Scovilles responsibillity is not making the situation better. Linton is responsible to create a effective work team. The first thing is that the team needs team viability so that everyone is satisfied and willing to contribute. (Book p.309) But Linton make the typical management mistakes that were listet in the book: hostile enviroment for the team, no longterm commitment, since the teams do not work together the lessons were not trandferred to others, Inadequat team skill training (Lisa gets almost no training) and a lack of trust. (Book p. 314, Figure 11-2). Linto is a directive decision maker. She wants to have everything under control anf focus on facts.
Linton should focus on on developing a team or they will all failshe also have to look at Scovilles behavior. He can not act like he is god and everthing he do is right.Lisa should try to to contribute more and get from a passiv learning part to an active working part. That is what she was hired for.
If you were in charge what would you have done diffrently?
If i were in charge i would try to get Lisa a more realistic expectations cause from the the recruting program she get so unrealistic expectations that it was clear she will be frustrated.
I aslo would be more
Michelle Alexander depicts the grim reality for many young African American men in today’s society in her book the New Jim Crow. The harsh reality for many of them is that they will never be able to fully participate in mainstream society and receive the benefits and basic rights that are taken for granted by the rest of the nation. Her findings show that existence of the Jim Crow laws have yet to fully disappear from society like many believe they have, when it fact, the restrictions of the Jim Crow era have merely been reinvented in the form of the United States’ federal justice system. Today, the United States
He is in a huge dilemma and feels he might be held accountable for the current problem.

Therefore, all these incidents summed up, and lead to the present problem.
The initial gut reaction to the quality of Bridget’s assignments is shock and slightly insulted. Considering her performance previously in the class, the actions of Bridget would leave one assuming it was done out of desperation. What is believed could possibly account for her action are several situations. These situations could include, but not limited to, lack of time management, lack of understanding, fear of the grade she is accumulating due to the previous mediocre quality of her work, or also simply not wanting to do the work. Additionally, there could have been a family situation that resulted in Bridget not be able to complete the work. For these reasons continually genuine purposeful interaction with the students is essential. By the second week of the course a call would be made to Bridget to engage her in a conversation about the quality of her work and how to best support her to improve. As the adjunct, through this type of interaction it will be easier to determine the intention of Bridget.
Many of the problems that Carl has found concerning the new employee orientation could have been avoided. Carl is a recently hired employee himself. He should have kept up with the progress of the new employee orientation and checked on the files for the applicants. ABC, Inc. should also have made sure that their new employee was capable of doing his job efficiently. If Carl had stayed on top of his project, the problems that he faced would not have occurred.

In “The Author to Her Book,” Bradstreet is awash in indecision and internal conflicts over the merits and shortfalls of her creative abilities and the book that she produced. This elaborate internal struggle between pride and shame is manifested through a painstaking conceit in which she likens her book to her own child.
How do you think Sandy feels? Will she be motivated to improve to improve? Is it enough to know you are not going to lose your job?
The third team problem was that norms and values were not identified. Their main problem was the repetitive decision making process with no consensus.The objectives of their meetings where not stated nor was there proper time management. Henry should prepare an agenda of objectives and communicate them clearly to the group prior to the meetings. He should appoint Dana as minute taker for the meetings to ensure schedule is followed and necessary post meeting actions clearly stated and executed.
Lisa Benton is that she appears to be unhappy with her current work position because she is bored and lack of responsibility; also she is frustrated with her relationships with her boss Deborah Linton and her colleague, associate product manager Ron Scoville. Benton is also her concerned about her less-than- promising performance review and her future with the organization.
I see the problem as this: A blatant disrespect displayed by a few of the managers, specifically the most recent Mr. Franklin who was the manager in charge of Marsh when he was asked to resign. Franklin constantly hounded Marsh, saying that he portrayed poor work habits and was disorganized and
The major issues in this case start with Anne not being familiar with the intricacies of politics, culture and communication in Jordan. She took a position in a foreign company in a culture significantly different from her own and did not take the time to properly familiarize herself with the host country. That is the root of the problem, but it continued to compound at her work when she did not do her part to clarify her role in the organization, ExportJordan. Anne also did not clearly understand the role of her co-workers and was not aware of the undercurrents of the situation and what was happening around her. She publicly demeaned her male assistant by giving him a derogatory nickname. She failed to notice the absence of her female coworker until someone mentioned it to her. She failed to realize that not everyone in the organization was there to further the cause of women becoming entrepreneurs and entering the business world. Nor did she seem to understand that Jafar’s influence extended beyond the company and that it unwise to anger him. The biggest problem in this whole case study is that because Anne was not culturally aware she misunderstood everything that was happening around her and her ignorance not only endangered her, but everyone she was attempting to help.
During the duration of the video, there were many times where Rosa, Simon, and Cheng showed a lack of professionalism, interest, respect, and vision. They were assigned as a task group, where they were put together to carry out a specific project that needed to be completed. The execs seem to trust these individuals due to their previous work experiences and the successes at Wolinksy & Williams. The problem is they seemed to be not bought in to their job responsibilities. Rosa, Cheng, and Simon continued to disrespect Joseph and had many excuses as of why they can’t do their job and why the project won’t work. This is very concerning especially looking from a managers’ lens. Realistically if this occurred, Joseph should have brought this issue to the execs, because if not, it looks as though the job won’t be completed, and if it does, it won’t the best quality of work than can produce if everyone was actually invested in the project. Rosa, Cheng, and Simon do not represent what an ideal employee (Senior Architect, Junior Architect, Architect) should conduct themselves
Though the issue looked like personal conflicts on the face, it actually stems from the friction between two departments fundamentally different in their working methods and thought processes. The fact that the two managers, Ellen and Ronnie, with different working styles leading these two departments has only compounded the problem. Ellen’s complaint was that Ronnie’s team is not sending their timesheets in time, which is leading to late payments from the insurer and shortage in cash flow. Even Ronnie acknowledges this but the solution appears to be different in each other’s minds. Ronnie is adamant that they just need more time, while Ellen is saying that genuine effort is required, not just time extensions. As much as
To be an affective sales manager at Phoenix, Mrs. Richardson needed to be able to bring together this group of insubordinate employees who seemingly did not work well as a team. Of these employees, only a few had been meeting or exceeding expectations of the organization. More so the attitudes of the employees were so far from acceptable that there is question as to why they held the positions that they did. Alex Hoffman, top sales representative, showed little respect for Mrs. Richardson, however as he consistently brought in sales he was not a candidate to let go. Although, Mrs. Richardson still should have had a discussion with Mr. Hoffman about his actions and the fact that when other employees perceive his disrespect then they may in turn do the same. On top of that, Sarah Vega continuously showed up for work late and even missed one day per week on average. These actions are unacceptable in the workplace and worthy of termination. A third employee, Chelsea Peterson, showed absolutely no respect for her new sales manager. These sorts of actions do not deserve to go unnoticed or unpunished. Melissa Richardson should have scheduled a mandatory meeting for all employees in order to lay down the law. She needed to tell them all together as a team exactly what her expectations for
