He would like to ask his sort of girlfriend to marry him but is worried that she will say no and that he does not have much to offer her at present. He worries about what people think of him, even though he is a nice person who thinks about the feelings of others. * Motivation For Therapy Mr. X is a 45 year old estate agent who has been with the same company for eighteen years and has a number of issues. He has reservations about applying for the manager’s job despite a deep rooted knowledge that he can do the job, he has social issues with his colleagues and it appears other areas of his life too. Despite his age he still seems to be under the spell of his mother and appears to pay too much attention to her beliefs rather than his own.
He would like to go for a management job at work but feels like something is stopping him and he would also like to go out with his colleagues but feels that if he changed the day he sees his mother she would not understand. He would like to ask his girlfriend to marry him but is worried that she will say no and that he does not have much to offer her at present. He worries about what people think of him, even though he is a nice person who thinks about the feelings of others. The Initial Consultation During the first meeting with Mr X, I would be aiming to collect as much information about him as possible. I would ask about his health and any current medication.
The reason he doesn’t go is because that is the day he visits his mother in the home she lives in, and she would never understand if he changed the day and would pick on him even more than usual. He would love to go out with them on another night but fear that, if he asks, they will say no. He would love the manager’s job because then his mother would see him as more successful and maybe give him more respect. He has a sort of girlfriend whom he would like to marry but feels he does not have much to offer her at present and anyway she might say ‘no’. He comes across as a gentle man who is very aware of the feelings of others and afraid of what they might think of him.
With regards to him mentioning that he has nothing to offer his girlfriend , and of course again the fear of rejection, we know that he has the resources to fulfil a managerial position however his fear of upsetting others is preventing him from applying. It is also worth looking at why there is this excuse of him not being able to spend time with his work colleagues due to him visiting his mother, is there a guilt factor involved where he feel he should not displease his mother. Is it a question of whether she has an unhealthy hold on him where it affects him to such a degree that he can’t change the day he sees her? Does he already feel inadequate when facing his mother this statement that she would pick on him more than usual seems to suggest that he is avoiding conflict and does not have the courage to stand up to his mother.

Nevertheless, could be really unsocial and unsustainable when it has to work in stable situation, because mainly his peers and subordinates they will not accept or tolerate that style for long periods of time. According to Amok his style could be title as Directive and Pacetting, which means that entails command and control behavior that at times became coercive.

He needs this contract to keep his job but not “coming clean” is jeopardizing his sense of ethics. What should he do? An ethical dilemma is a situation where there is no right and wrong in relation to a decision and therefore a solution is not quickly achieved (Shaw, Barry, Sansbury, 2009). Ethical dilemma can also be defined by a sense of moral obligation. Kent’s situation does consist of several ethical dilemmas as his accomplishments since joining Dura- Stick have been mediocre at best and he fears that his time at Dura-Stick might be limited unless he starts closing big accounts such as the project proposed from Spray-On.
As for screaming at employees from across the room, this is absolutely never okay. I do not understand why anyone would think that treating employees in this manner is alright. The obvious disadvantage to this type of leadership is having your employees transfer to different departments or just leaving the company. It will also have an effect on employee morale.

The protagonist of The Outsider, Meursault, is estranged because he does not fit into the social norm. At the news of his mother’s demise, Meursault does not feel the agony that normal people do when hearing their parents’ deaths. His lack of emotion is further evinced by his sending his mother to the Senior’s House. In Meursault’s psyche, he feels that his mother is a burden to him. He thinks that the Senior House is a better choice for the both of them as his mother would be happier there.
Basically he just wants her to be 'shown off' as little as possible. We could say that this is parental worrying but having the audacity to go to the extreme of thinking of not even giving her a chance to stand on her own feet, clearly eliminates the idea of parental concern. The fact that he states that “The heads are turning like windmills” knowing that those ‘heads’ turn to every woman passing, reflect his jealousy rather than his care. This establishes the idea in the reader's mind that he is 'over-protective' about Catherine in the context of a lover. Having this level of Dominance towards not a daughter, but a niece, is very uncommon in the real world.
