1. You have successfully managed one of the plants of your company over a period of 5 years. You built a climate of openness and trust in your plant and have a longstanding history of honesty, dialogue, and teamwork. Based on your record of success, you have just been transferred to a much larger but less successful plant. This plant has a history of union-management conflict and the last plant manager had to be hospitalized due to stress.
2. The committee has submitted a request to you for a consultant to assist the committee in its process, primarily by teaching the members key diagnostic skills and techniques. You decide to:
a) replace the members since they are clearly not skilled enough to carry out the important task you gave to the committee.
b) honor the request because it will result in important and useful learning.
C) refuse the request because there is no money in the budget – you tell the committee to Google their questions.
d) appoint your CFO to the committee to keep an eye on the process.
