    Toby Johnson Case Write Up

    Toby Johnson was a change agent for the Williamsport Frito Lay plant. She came into a situation where there was a lack or communication and motivation among workers. Many felt there was not a clear and open communication between management and front line workers. The personal touch was also not seen between management and the factory workers. However, when Toby came in, she knew things needed to be done “right” and if they were, everything else would fall into place. Toby also went out of her way to involve many of the workers that did not feel involved before Toby took over. She created the team coordinator role and it was used to involve many front line workers that had not felt the involvement that they desired. Toby worked with each of the Williamsport workers to demonstrate a caring for each individual and as a result built a level of trust among the plant and ultimately motivated everyone to work to a Level 3 CI assessment in 2008.…

    Leading Change at Simmons

    Charlie Eitel, the fairly new CEO of Simmons, has a lot on his plate. His company is struggling, and he needs to rebound. There are many contributing factors that could lead to the demise of Simmons. These factors mostly branch off of the country wide economic struggle following 9/11. In addition to 9/11 backlash, he is also faced with the recall of a product from a supplier. While these issues are quite harmful, they are external characteristics and he can do very little to affect them. What he can effect is his within his organization, specifically, the workers. When analyzing the company he has noticed that there is a large divide in production coming from certain plants, and the culture observed at certain plants. For a large company such as Simmons cultural cohesiveness and a unified vision are necessary to succeed. A unified vision can increase employee job satisfaction, public image, turnover, output and profit. Before Eitel, a long line of changing owners (since 1978) has caused Simmons to lack a vision. With this, Eitel took steps to insure clearly identify the problem and attempted to enact a solution. Moreover, there are many problems in the Simmons’s…

    Management Levels Explained

    For the purposes of this essay, and according to Campling (2006, p19), I will define the act of management as the ‘planning, organising, leading and controlling the use of resources to accomplish performance goals.’ Within the scope of his or her role, the manager is required to perform these duties, balancing needs of the business, needs of employees, customers, and meeting legislative requirements. To this end, in a large company, there exists three tiers of management, each one responsible for planning, organising, leading, but with different performance goals, timeframes and strategies, which I will discuss in further depth.…
