And employers should also give employees opportunities and time to prepare to respond to their case. After notification, employers should hold a formal meeting with the employee to discuss the problem. In the meeting, employers should offer evidence and allegations against the employee and give employees a chance to ask questions and call relevant witnesses. Employees also should be allowed to bring accompany at the meeting and appeal after any formal decisions made(ASCS, 2015). In this case, the employers did the investigation but they did not inform Kareem about his performance problem.…

term. Discuss if film technology is truly a core competency of Santek. The concept of a core competency is, “the main strengths or strategic advantages of a business, including the combination of pooled knowledge and technical capacities that allow a business to be competitive in the marketplace”. (Core Competencies, n.d.). I believe that, currently Santek has core competency, because only one other company in the world uses similar technical skills as Santek.…
Week 1 Ch.1 Case Study: Firm, Fair and Open? Case Study Questions (see Case Study document for actual questions). 1. Cree is making a positive impression on the workers by following the four main functions of management – planning, organizing, leading, and controlling (Walker, 2012). Her suggestion of rotating work assignments should be viewed as fair to everyone and not favoring one group over another (e.g., more senior servers vs. new servers).…
Please discuss the key factors you believe may be affecting employee performance at St. Jude’s and explain why these factors may be related to performance, using your readings from this week. There are numerous explanations for why employees might be underperforming at St Jude’s. In order to meet the ever increasing needs of its patients, St Jude’s was forced to bring in more and more employees. The growing staff meant that quality began to suffer and old problems became more apparent as they showed up in the new hires. Typical reasons for these issues include counterproductive behaviors like wasting resources, gossiping, incivility, and laziness.…
As well, instead of firing that many people, do more layoffs and cut down their work time, instead of full out firing them. You could also make sure that the business is not under an at will employment, which means that an employer can fire the employee for absolutely no reason. Doing this it would help pledge that in order to be fired, there must be a good…

CNO Jones’ form of management is similar to that of Theory X. Established by McGregor in 1960, theory X is an authoritarian leadership style that focuses on top down management. Kopelman, Prottas, and Davis (2008) note employees under theory X management are considered “lazy, are incapable of self-direction and autonomous work behavior, and have little to offer in terms of organizational problem solving” (p. 255). Prompting managers to micro-manage and make all decisions independently, no matter how it may affect the staff. This same behavior is seen in this case study. Although CNO Jones was fully aware of the hospitals declining financial status she did not take the time to inform her lower level staff.…
1. Describe the target unsolved problem that you will analyze. I work at the admission/financial aid/cashier office (all classify under enrollment services) at a community college. One of the most prominent issue that exist within the enrollment office is the lack of communication between the higher ups and the employees. More specifically, our managers don’t really tell the front counter people (the people who have DIRECT contact with students) anything. Unless we go down and ask in person if there was a change in regulation or policy, it doesn’t really float back up to us.…
Follow-up (after the interview) Often overlooked, the follow-up is the final step in the interviewing process. It’s essential that you send a thank you letter after an interview to every person you met at the company (remember to ask for business cards). In your letter, summarize your conversation and re-emphasize the skills you would bring to the position. If you are interested in the position, avoid sending a generic thank you letter. Include reasons why you are the perfect candidate for the job.…
During my time with the SCDAA I heard one word in particular thrown around frequently: bullying. It may seem like a harsh word but it begs to be explained. For whatever reason, overwhelming pressure or preference, the average tone of daily interaction at SCDAA is a negative one. It is no secret that there is an ever changing favorites system in place. Any one who is considered a favorite is immune to negativity for however long a time their favoritism lasts.…
1. The leader chooses to go against stated practices or procedures. This particular factor stood out as the most intentional and the one factor that the leader is fully aware of his methods. In this case, the leader is choosing to make a decision that he or she is fully aware of going against the organization’s practices and that why I selected it as number one.…
For Confirmation preparation, I interviewed my dad to see how he felt after about 30 years after being Confirmed. From my understanding, my dad thought that when he went to Mass, the homily was usually about what he needed to hear and that he became a better person because of the effects of Confirmation. He also said that Confirmation had a very positive effect on his life because it feels to him that the Holy Spirit always guides back into the right direction toward the Church if he fails to follow God’s Ten Commandments.…
Leadership Interview I recently had the opportunity of interviewing Mr. Maity who has more than ten years of experience in leadership positions within his organization. He started his career after grad school with a small non-profit research organization. His leadership abilities were quickly realized and he became a part of a large company as a Project Manager. He recalls that in his first job, the small size of the company and the nature of operations meant that soon after joining the firm, he started taking up multiple responsibilities with many being outside of his core functional role. This valuable learning experience has allowed him to excel in his current leadership position.…
The textbook, Intentional Interviewing and Counseling: Facilitating Client Development in a Multicultural Society (2014) explores core counselling skills and techniques. The authors, Ivey, Ivey, & Zalaquett (2014) assert that counselors help clients to help themselves by using competent and effective counselling skills. When counselors accurately use their basic counseling skills, they aid clients in developing their own abilities to use their human potential in the present and in future. Numerous counseling skills are discussed in the textbook, such as intentional and diagnostic interviewing skills, attending skills, observing and reflecting skills, listening skills, confronting skills, and influencing skills. These skills and techniques are…
