A good leader should know when to kneel down instead of trying to put everyone and everything under him. If Creon could have shown humbleness, generosity, and thoughtfulness he would have been a better leader who could have earned more respect and love from the citizens. Creon is to narrow minded and cannot appreciate problems from many different points of view. Creon’s weaknesses of excessive pride, cruelty and narrow vision eventually result in the death three innocent people and his terrible regret when he realizes that he has nothing left. Moreover, King Creon doesn't talk about the same types of gods and laws as his family and people.
He was also given a gun but he refused to use it to stop the violence. He believed he should have used Martin’s letter to prove that the three men did not kill Kinkaid. Mr. Davies took a leadership role to argue that the three were not guilty and he thought it was his responsibility to convince everyone of their innocence. The difference between leadership and responsibility is Mr. Davies believed that because he assumed leadership it was his responsibility to finish the task successfully. When the men were hung, Mr. Davies thought he had failed at his responsibility and was a poor leader.
Even though he tries to communicate the issues with each employee, when they try and explain why, he does not take interest in what they have to say. It shows through his actions that he feels that he doesn’t need to deal with his employees personal problems. It is apparent that Alan O’Connor does not enjoy doing the performance reviews. Alan O’Connor’s behavior is very monopolizing because he only focuses on what he is saying, and not so much on what his employees are trying to communicate with him (Wood, 2012 pg.153). 2.
In our opinion this problem has two main root causes. The first one is that managers do not want to upset employees and the sense of teamwork and egalitarianism, so they give medium ratings to everyone. They might believe that a medium grading does not affect neither positively nor negatively employees’ performance. We believe that the other cause could be the lack of clarity in the rating levels description. The fact that the grading system is not clear for managers hampers a precise evaluation of all employees.
The last issue we found that was a small issue was that Nick does not clearly see the end result. If Nick were to realize the end result and start working backwards by prioritizing what needs to be done, when it needs to be completed and also how these steps are going to be completed once Nick lays out all the plans for the project it will be easier to communicate with his team what to do and when it needs to be completed so that the whole team is on the same page. We think that this will also be resolved by breaking those other poor team habits such as the communication problems and motivational issues, but once all of these issues are resolved the team can continue to work towards the goal of completing the project for CanGo. Right now, the most obvious thing was Nick getting organized and focused. Interruptions will always be an issue and can probably be avoided.
He doesn’t like to be the only one blamed as he shows here: “(with marked change of tone)… I thought that – for some reason best known to yourself - you were making the most of this tiny bit of information I could give you. I’m sorry. This makes a difference.” He shows that he does not mind if he doesn’t have to take full responsibility and says that it changes everything. Arthur does not like to take all the responsibility. Also, he is afraid for his family here and their reputation.
Why is the lawyer so concerned about the change in his behavior? The lawyer does not even want to fire Bartleby even wants to keep him on the staff. I researched this information further to find out, why was the lawyer keeping him on staff if he was not doing his job? The lawyer felt that if Bartleby was employed by someone else he would become mistreated. The fellow workers were upset by his refusal,
In order to more effectively contribute to the organization, I would like to spend some time researching techniques to connect on an emotional level with the team. The fact that they retain such a lack of empathy in their business life is confusing to me as they are largely family men. Having not observed their familial relationships myself, I can only surmise that they interact without empathy in their personal
Poor decision making in the workplace can be contributed to several factors to include; not realizing when and why one needs to make a decision; failure to remember goals. According to Business Law, “while confidence is a personal trait essential to success, overconfidence or over optimism is one of the most common reasons for bad decisions.” Failure to understand an issue and failure to commit resources and act on the decision that was made is also a common characteristic of a poor decision maker. Within the workplace most managers are paid to make decisions that will have a great effect on the company and the employees, but most managers are Decision Making and Ethical Behavior 2 unable to make those decisions that are ethical and sound decisions
At first glance, both Francois and the sales staff are not working in harmony or synchronized together. Indeed, leadership is a relationship based on mutual exchange between leaders and followers (Iszatt-White & Saunders, 2014:107). Knowing that the new manager lacks in product knowledge of IT industry and managerial experience, the team are sceptical about his arrival and they don’t necessarily look up to him at first. He still manages to learn quickly the product range and manufacturing processes but his acceptance among is still unproven. Thus, by applying Hogg’s social identity theory, we see from the follower’s perspective why they have a hard time with Francois.
