George As A Manger Case Study
As the store owner promoted John to be a manager, then they had seen qualities that he is qualified to be a manger which indicates he knows what’s best for the store. The owners hired George because they believed in John which means that he is a reliable and good employee. George shouldn’t speak up because he is a new employee. George should wait for more time and find concrete evidence rather than making a quick judgement now.

Seeing that john is a trustworthy worker, it will be hard to believe he is doing anything to harm the store.
The most powerful and persuasive responses to these reasons/rationalizations are George is a

The clerk had access to all personal records, including performance appraisals and disciplinary records. This is personal information that should not be handled by just a clerk; it should be handled by a Human Resource Manager. Furthermore, Mr. Charles Jackson is required to handle all problems himself. If Charles reaches out to the corporate office, it would look like an act of failure on his part.

    From Sutterwhite's brief conversations with the employees, "she learned they did not care much for Wallace as a store manager. One of the workers referred to him as "uncaring" while another said he had "the personality of an army drill sergeant" (126). Wallace needs to become more caring toward his employees to build a better working relationship with them. Wallace's chances of changing in three months are not likely because he doesn't even agree with the simple store policies.…

    The District manager would come in almost every month for a store checkup. We were supposed to be doing things weekly to avoid getting behind, but with this management nothing really got done. The District manager would come and there would be prices from the last month still on items. Items wouldn’t be on the shelves and still in the back from the night before. He would observe customers asking if we had certain things in stock and no one would know because it was a mess in the back.

    In this case, there are several instances of poor management including but not limited to: lack of proper training, accountability and adherence to manufacturing industry standards, etc. A company as large as Eastern dairy should have a manager on site and more than 4 employees for the night shift, especially given how critical the night shift is in meeting production needs. The so‐called “leader” of the group, Paul is worried about going home early and the cost impact to the company if product needs are not met for one night. Paul’s decision to ignore the issue puts George in an extremely difficult situation. Another problem to note is the management in many corporations today. All too often, employees have self‐serving motives and conflicts of interest that essentially stems from culture of the organization and how it operates. When George initially brings the issue to Paul, we learn quickly from Paul’s demeanor that he had encountered the problem in the past and had seen the maggots several times. Paul is essentially immune to the ‘stomach in knots’ feeling that George experienced as he was headed home. The lack of ethical culture that was instilled by Eastern Dairy’s management is such that the employees just care about clocking in and out and do not take pride in their work. The fact that Paul is in a position to oversee the night shift in and of itself is a significant issue. Furthermore, the company culture did not instill…

    Since he has been manager he has had problems with Bill Durkee, Juba Puckett, Tony Skrow, and he has hired Vance, which some of the other sales representatives have problems with. One of the hardest things for a manager to do is fire an employee who is hard working, but just is not getting the job done. It is especially hard to do when you know the employee has a family that depends on him and he has bills to pay. Not everything about being a manager is easy, and Goldstone definitely needs to make a decision about Durkee. Goldstone needs to treat Durkee like he is being treated by his boss. He needs to give him a warning, and tell him that if his performance does not improve within the next week then he is going to be let go. Hopefully this warning will give Durkee the motivation he needs to start making sales, but if it does not then Goldstone needs to fire him, and get him replaced. The situation of the other three sales representatives, that Goldstone has had problems with, needs to be assessed as well. It is too late for Goldstone to do anything about Juba Puckett because he already messed up with her and she quit. As for Vance, since he is a new employee, he needs to start off at the same level as the other sales representatives until he can prove himself. Goldstone needs to let him take over Juba Puckett’s position, because it is not fair to the other sales representatives to give him a corner office on his first day. If Vance wants a corner office he needs to earn it. If Goldstone does this to Vance, then the most important sales representative, Tony Skrow will be less likely a threat of quitting. Goldstone just needs to get his priorities strait with his sales reps. He can not risk losing the top performing sales representative, for the last fifteen years, by hiring someone new and giving them better treatment. If Goldstone can get all…

    There was a significant difference in power and authority; ownership of the jewelry store and all assets belong to Sean, and he had invested his entire savings into the organization. It seemed he was solely concerned with profit and I was concerned with diminishing the relations I had built at the workplace. As manager, I was also concerned with sales, and profit, but to be honest I was more concerned with whether my actions and behaviors were justifiable. I continued to ask myself if I was behaving in an ethical manner. Would I be the underlying reason for my employee’s financial bind once he was laid off because I knew he would soon be unemployed and I kept this information from him to satisfy my boss. Withholding this information from my employees went against my personal values, which include dignity, empathy, compassion, accountability, loyalty, and integrity (to name a few). I am an honest individual, and I cannot willingly withhold information that could ultimately terminate a friendship and cause severe damage to the success and happiness of my employee’s professional life as well as their personal lives.…

George, of course, was pretty thorough with every single product of the company and he was known to be pushy and a blunt veteran in the field. Most of theProduct Managers were very clear of George's ways of working and had thoroughly preparedfor the meeting and were giving to the point answers. George then started with Satish.Satish being new to the product, was quite confused and fared miserably.Preet immediately understood that George had possibly failed to remember that Satish wasnew to the job. He thought of interrupting George's questioning and giving a discretereminder that Satish was new. But by that time, George who was pretty upset with the lackof preparation by Satish made a public statement "Gentlemen, you are witnessing here anexample of sloppy work and this can't be excused".Now Preet was in two minds - should he interrupt George and tell him that Satish is new inthat position OR should he wait till the end of the meeting and tell George privately. Preetchose the second option.Satish was visibly angry at the treatment meted out by George but he also chose to keep…
