Step 1

Uncover the main issues facing Green: consider his work style and personality and those of his new boss, Frank Davis. Analyze how Green's actions differ from Davis' expectations. Provide your take on Green's actions and job performance in his first five months. How does this inform your preliminary understanding of Greene's situation?

Step 2

Recall the various steps from the PrOACT framework. Imagine that Green's Problem might be both keeping and, ultimately (and importantly), excelling in his job. Then consider that his Objectives might be:

a-building influence (short term) and

b-building power (long term)

If we frame his situation in this way, what Alternatives does Green have to meet these objectives (pick 6)? Consider the various people involved.

Step 3

Green's plan moving forward might include some combination of these Alternatives. Assess each one (Consequences), according to its impact and immediacy. Who might be Green's most important short-term and long-term allies?

Step 4

Comment broadly on the Consequences described by another student in Step 3. Gathering from this preliminary assessment, who is to blame for Thomas Green's predicament - Green? ... Davis? How much should Green acquiesce to accommodate others?

Step 5

Discuss these findings that match your own assessment of Green's predicament. If similar, play devil's advocate, and respectfully consider a different level of acquiescence than that suggested in the peer's initial post.
