A month ago, the company's GM told one of the line managers to produce an extra 15,000 units of a product so that there wold be inventory in stock for the next time the item is ordered. Last week, the GM scolded the line manager for having 15,000 units of them in stock. The GM told the line manager that productin excess invenbtory costs the company money should never be done. The GM then puts te line manager on a performance plan. This is not the first time you have heard about the GM tellng an employee to do one thing onlyt to criticize him/her for doing it later. This employee feels very frustratedk by this, but doesn't want to make a formal complaint becuase other have lost their jobs or demoted? Here are the questions that should be addressed.

How the culture of the organization contributed to the issue? How the structure of the organization contributed to this issue? A plan to change organizational culture while maintaining the current structure of the organization, and lastly, A coaching plan to help the GM change his behavior and improve his leadership skills.
