Introduction
Working with people may be one of the easiest things and or the hardest undertaking in any company or organization. Properly understanding people provides a humble base or foundation in managing them and well managed people are easier to understand.

Critical Analysis The confusion that confronts Keith Houck as the hired consultant is mainly from and by the mission statement and the attitude of H.I.D. managers. There seems to be progress spearheaded by the H.I.D. President but managers seem and indeed they are so pessimistic apart from the Human Resource Director Karen Setz. The President is very positive and has achieved a lot by meeting the goals of expansion during the five years that he ahs been in the company. The development during Bill’s time and his immense driving force are good indicators that H.I.D. is far able to formulate its strategic plans and goals. If I were Keith Houck the Consultant, I could have asked very many questions ranging from work ethics to what every individual department has achieved and further question what are the goals of each department. For H.I.D. to formulate its plans and goals it needs an overhaul of its managers except the Human Resource Director Karen Setz who has a vision with a positive mind of expansion.
