Jeff Reynolds
B. Statement of the problem
The attitude that the vice president, Nick Smith, acts in front of his people.
C. Objectives
To be able discern on what would be the effect of the vice president’s rude treatment to one of his people
D. Areas of consideration * Individual conflict between the product manager and the vice president * The attitude itself of the Nick Smith * the managers perception towards their vice president
E. Alternative courses of action
* Nick Smith, the vice president, should act gently towards his people.
Advantage – this would create a harmonious relationship between the vice president and to the managers. The managers would be highly motivated and they can excellently preform their job because they could feel no pressure from the vice president.
Disadvantage – the people in the company, especially the product managers, would might took advantage of the vice presidents gentle approach to them. If he will act as what he showed to Brewster, the people might refuse to cooperate with him.
* Nick Smith should apologize to Tom Brewster
Advantage – this would make him more as a leader because he respects his people humanely.
Disadvantage – it will make the people think that it is fine to act as stupid because the vice president will ask an apology to them. This would result an unproductive decision making in the future.
F. Recommendation
My recommendation into this problem is that the vice president, Nick Smith, should treat his people gently in a way that respect as the vice president of the company is still there. Having a harmonious relationship with your people can create exceptional strategies and more sound in decision
