Case Study: Mr Bennet has assigned you as team leader for a project. The project involves introducing your new winter range of textiles into the market. Your team consists of five people. Midway through the project, one team member, Holly, seems unhappy with her current position at Rainbow Textiles.
She has been working for the company for two years and is a valuable member of the marketing team, as she is very good at her job and has introduced innovative methods of gaining brand recognition.
After deliberating how to approach the situation, you decide to hold a meeting with her to discuss if anything is wrong. She tells you that she does not feel comfortable in her position as content strategist on the marketing team, and that she would like to venture into a different role and career path, but she is not sure what. You are at a crossroads, as you know that you have to reach your project goal by a specific date, but you also need an effective and motivated project team.
Using each stage of the GROW process, explain to Holly how you could create a positive outcome from this otherwise unfortunate situation. It is up to you to decide if Holly should change positions at the company now, or remain in the same position until your project is complete. You should use the GROW model on Holly to motivate your decision.
Question 1: How you will lead Holly by example? Identify certain methods that you could use to motivate Holly during this time. Will you use Theory X or Theory Y to resolve this issue and why?
Question 2: Which leadership style(s) would you incorporate into this process? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of using these leadership styles for Holly?
