Using an informal structure and generally rational tone the writer is opposed to smacking children stating that ‘it does not help’. In a colloquial tone, Thornton begins her opinion piece by justifying her reasons for smacking her children by stating that she does not want a child who ‘disrespects adults’, ‘bites, pokes [their] tongue out’ and a child who ‘keeps nagging to get [their] own way’ which makes the audience feel empathy towards the writer. The writer repeats the phrase ‘I don’t want’ to emphasize her point that she does not want a child who is disrespectful. Repetition is used in Thornton’s argument to capture the readers attention while making her viewpoint clear. The writer goes on to argue that ‘discipline isn't always easy for parents’ and that is is easy to let their ‘little misdemeanors’ go unnoticed.
Because Diana is not that self aware she not only ignored the crucial advice that was given to her to succeed, she rationalized the real reason of her been passed up for the first promotion as simply corporate politics.. Not acting on this advice shows her leadership that she is not that ready for change within herself and to grow to the maturity level required for the multi unit management job. Diana’s self management of her emotions was also very subpar. This is evident in how she perceived of her staff and not caring for turnover and of employees not wishing to work under her management style. She was always dismissing advice under her own “justified” guise that her bottom line financial results ensured her continued success and entitlement for further advancement. Also, bursting out into tears during her follow-up interview and leaving rather than soliciting feedback as to why she did not receive the promotion was a clear lack of her own emotional management.
Micromanagement like this puts employees in a threatened state and unable to perform their best. Additionally, while the reward system may have appeared functional, it ultimately was very poorly designed. Employees felt incentivized to simply “impress” their superiors, which did not necessarily correlate with actual performance. Further, the assessment cloaked evaluations as a part of career development counseling, creating a conflict of interest for the auditor collecting performance information from the employees. Finally, the evaluation system failed to require managers to provide feedback to their reports, inhibiting an environment of learning or growth.

Harassment, after all, rarely goes on in front of those who would take steps to stop it. Other chiefs may be reluctant to deal with sexual harassment at all, believing that writing policies or providing training will increase the number of harassment complaints. But a head-in-the-sand approach is counterproductive: it will only make things worse, and it ignores management's legal responsibility for providing a harassment-free
She was concerned about the accuracy of the work due to the way these readings compared to previous readings. Instead of discussing this with Brigite, she decided to do it all herself and retest everyone. The nurse in this scenario becomes part of the problem; obviously she does not trust Brigite’s ability to do the job right. Passiveness, nonassertive, and avoidance is the form of communication the nurse is using in this scenario. The nurse is avoiding asking Brigite about the readings of the vision tests (Hansten, & Jackson, 2009).

That’s another person’s middle class annual income. Pressure from her boss, who was pressured by his, disclosed to Vanessa that he had been written up because she refused to sign. Instead of seeing it as a part of a business deal, she personalized the situation as she found in her way of thinking that she didn’t need to sign it primarily because it was her bargaining chip over Jerry. She remained adamant using hard ball bargaining tactics which was the reason why the company did not allow her to have privy to management decisions causing much embarrassment. In addition, her performances which were exemplary, what was she really going to lose as she was not winning the war she started?
Case Study 4.1 Diana’s disappointment: The promotion stumbling block Question 1 These are the various factors that I believe led to Diana not being promoted: · Self –awareness: When Diana had not been promoted the first time, she was told by her supervisor that she needed to work on her people skills. During another visit from her supervisor, it was suggested that Diana try to be friendlier and become more approachable to the employees. At that point, Diana should have realized that this is a weakness for her and that her lack of people skills might be the cause of the high turnover in staff she has been experiencing. Since Diana did not take her supervisor’s advice, it would appear to her superiors that she has no intention of changing from her current style of managing; this would cause some concern as Diana would be training new managers. With Diana’s history of poor people skills and large turnover in staff at her own restaurant, her superiors would not want Diana in charge of training the new managers.
