ASSIGNMENT QUESTIONS
Aretha has decided that she wants another person's perspective on the issues that she faces. She has asked you, a respected colleague, to answer the following questions to help her get that needed input:
Does the cultural and age diversity present in HOC's top management team impact its functioning and effectiveness? Answer and explain why or why not?
Does HOC's top management suffer from groupthink? Explain in detail. Be sure to give examples from the fact pattern to support your ideas.
Identify the primary sources of stress that the associate members of the design team are experiencing. Explain how some of these stresses have led to the turnover and lawsuits. Are there differences between the understanding of senior client managers and associate members as to how the work should be conducted and what should be expected from the company? If so, why? If not, why not?
Based upon our week 6 learning materials by Katzenbach and Smith, are the HOC design teams high performing teams? Why or why not?
What type of organizational culture has evolved at HOC, and how does it affect both job performance and commitment?
Based on your findings above, Aretha would like you to give her three recommendations on how to transform HOC into an engaged workplace in which employees are committed to job performance and the organization. Explain the justification for each one.
Suggest the best way Aretha should communicate the changes brought about by your three recommendations. Be detailed, explain how, what, when and who should communicate the change?
