The case study for Ligua took me back in our week two discussion one case study. I had mentioned in my case analysis in chapter 2 that Ligua works for a car dealership and this is a predominantly men’s world. She needs to step up to the plate and bring her A-game. It is a dog eat dog world. She must learn to adapt American culture quickly without any excuses.

Ties means building that connection to himself and his team. He needs to learn the value of decenter and recenter, it represents two techniques for achieving synergy and importance to a diverse team. Michael should recenter his thinking so he could allow his team member to identify his perspective and build a common vision. He should think and act like a team put his attitudes and individual egos aside. For example Bill Russell, known as one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the sport.

In short, he exudes his personal ego for personal achievement and linked to his team achievement (Bucher
