Grueber main responsibility was to communicate the company’s information to the investors; action that was not performed well after the company went public on February 18, 1998. Grueber is the new leader of the IR department. “A leader guides others to explore and discover new things. This is done by touching on many of the concepts covered in these essays and in my book: getting people to be curious and ask questions; getting them to review results skeptically; getting them to think inno- vatively and not along the well-trodden paths that others have already followed; getting them to operate without disciplinary or interpersonal barriers; getting them to be thorough and meticulous; and getting them to aim as one while thinking as many” (Fetzer 2005) I believe Grueber should have asked for more communication between management and their constituencies. The Company were not used to sharing their strategic vision with public.
1) I think one of the mistakes Livingston made was to assume the source of the company's problem was the old computer financial reporting system. The old financial reporting system is only part of there was no collaboration to determine if the MCCS was the core problem of the company. Livingston made the determination that the MCCS was the root cause of losing contracts without other input. I would have gathered my team and perform an impact analysis to determine if there was any hidden problems with the current system that could be fixed in a faster cheaper way. Another issue is earlier on the meeting the MIS manager stated that he guessed the feasibility study would be the first step in the design, development and implementation of the new MCCS.
The MSCC routinely hired a contractor, Nolan Vassici, to maintain their current systems and develop custom software as needed. In 2004 Leon Lassiter along with Simon Kovecki conducted an analysis of MSCC’s current information system and the future needs of the MSCC. In 2005, MSCC reorganized and computer operations were reassigned to Jeff Hedges. Fearing Hedges did not have the time or interest to devote to computer operations, Lassiter requested information and quotes from several companies specializing in sales and marketing software. Lassiter decided to use a smaller new company called UNITRAK.

Different issues will occur that will keep Huffman from reaching higher goals. Huffman’s employees worked hard to keep pace and maintain a stable trend that has been set by Huffman’s competitors. Huffman is unsatisfied with overall results that his organization has not been able to rise above the competition, but to remain at the competition’s side.

Without it, confusion could easily arise, which leads to conflict and reduced productivity. My current work performance is clearly based on my resistance to change. My resistance was a direct result of feeling that my organization did not care about me or my input. After taking this course and getting a better understanding on how organizations function I can now make an informed decision
