Kerrie's Challenge Case Summary
In the case of Kerrie's Challenge: Leading a unpopular change it exemplifies a direct violation of Henry Fayol's unity of direction principle. The unity of direction principle states that all members of a group work towards the same objective (Lester, 2006).Kerrie's team members all learn of the changes that had to be made immediately, but not all of them agreed with Kerrie's decision. Her decision not only had team member disagreeing but it also impacted Kerrie's relationship with her team mates. Kerrie tried to overcome this by trying to listen to the members opinions and concerns and even considering them.

    My team consisted of six members. We started our discussion by taking a poll. We were split equally between Kristin and Suzanne. Since nobody supported Nancy, we dropped her profile from our discussion. Then, the two sides tried to convince each other with their choice. We both performed a reaction known as the commitment and consistency principle, which explains that “a person who takes a stand encounters pressures to behave consistently with that commitment”.…

    Unit 650 Criteria 2

    ‘Participative’ theory suggests that the ideal leadership style is one that takes the input of others into account. This type of leader encourages participation and contribution from team members, making the team members feel more involved and therefore committed to the decision making process. The theory is that team members will also collaborate rather than compete, as they are working on jointly agreed goals. I have experienced members of my staff team jointly working on recent updates of care plans and it can still become competitive, over who has completed the most, first to complete or had the biggest input.…

    Hackman's Misconceptions On Teamwork

    Our company is one of those believers in teamwork but Hackman argues that most company has misconceptions on teamwork. The first misconception that Hackman mentions is on “harmony.” Many companies feels that if a team has smooth interaction it would avoid wasting time and having debates on how to proceed. (Hackman, 2011) According to Hackman (2011), “Conflict, when well managed and focused on a team’s objectives, can generate more creative solutions than one sees in conflict-free groups.” Conflict and constructive criticism seems to bring out great ideas and help see more than one point of view. The second misconception that Hackman mention was “mixing it up.” According to Hackman (2011), the longer members stay together as an intact group, the better they do. As an employee who participates in groups it easier to continue to work with the same people because you get to know and learn the people in the group which helps with knowing their triggers and fuses. When adding new people to an existing group or changing team could possibly prolong the project because now that team has to reacquaint themselves with each other as well…

    Dwight Shute Cohesiveness In The Office

    For example, cohesiveness is seen when Jim obtains Pam an interview in the same city he is in. It seemed their goal was to get her to Philadelphia so that they could be together. In the end she did not take the job that she knew was not right for her and could not stay even though she wanted too. Put in this same situation, I would have made the same choice. Another example of cohesiveness is seen when everyone in the office is aware of Meredith and Pete dating but Andy is left out of the loop. Everyone seems to agree that they make a good couple and kept it a secret to spare Andy’s feelings. In this instance, I would have minded my own business too. I make it a point not to get involved in others personal relationships. In another example, the group appeared to all be in agreement on how to handle a situation when they decide, as a group, not to partake in the cupcakes by a former coworker. But nobody keeps their word and they eat the tainted cupcakes backfiring on them all. In general, I have found that going along with what the majority want, in an office setting, makes for a much easier work…

    Personal Narrative: The Challenger Disaster

    It takes a strong individual to separate from the pack, and speak freely, defending their own ideals. The Challenger Disaster is a prime example of groupthink; although Thiokol made specific recommendations to halt the launch if the temperature did not reach at least 54°F, those in senior positions influenced the engineers, dismissed their concerns, and ultimately killed seven human beings. A common saying, “Go with your gut” applies to many facets of life. The engineers at both NASA and Thiokol knew there would be grave implications if the launch proceeded but lacked the scientific evidence to back up their recommendation. Ultimately, corporate prowess won, and the launch was…

    Katko V. Briney Tort Case

    Katko V. Briney Tort Case

    Katko v. Briney was a battery tort case that occurred in Iowa in 1971. The plaintiff, Marvin Katko was illegally infringing on private farmland and entered a farmhouse with signs warning “No Trespassing”. This farmhouse had been victim to several past burglaries and the owner, defendant Edward Briney wanted to take this issue up on himself. Briney installed a homemade trap composing of his 20 gauge spring-loaded shotgun to a bedroom door. Whoever was to open the booby-trapped door, would be shot in the legs, avoiding any fatal consequences. Marvin Katko illegally trespassed the farmhouse with the intention of collecting bottles and antiques from the house. Katko regretfully opened the trapdoor, injuring himself and needed to be hospitalized. Katko sued for damages against Briney. By inflicting deadly force on another individual, this case become more of human rights issue than a potential trespassing violation. Certain inquiry that the Supreme Court of Iowa may have had would be in regard to if deadly force within private property is permissible to protect and secure private space. Also the court must ask, to what extent and in what situation is using such deadly force within your rights allowed. According to the Prosper on Torts, it states that “the law has always placed a higher value upon human safety than upon mere rights in property, it is the accepted rule that there is no privilege to use any force calculated to cause death or serious bodily injury to repel the threat to land or chattels, unless there is also such a threat to the defendant's personal safety as to justify a self-defense.” The court came to the clear conclusion that “No privilege exists to use force intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to prevent trespass to land or chattels unless the trespass threatens death or great bodily harm to the occupier or user of the land or chattel.” The reasoning behind why the court decided the case this way was…

    Group Development Observation System

    They do not want to engage or give input on the task, and will do whatever is decided amongst the other team members. Teams need the pairing statements and wanting respect. The pairing statements can come from having a good relationship with your team. Having team building events can get the team closer and get to know each other. Counter pairing is good to a point, where business is business and nothing is personal. However, you have to have a business and personal relationship with your team members to be a successful team. The work statements are the most important. You have to have these statements or why are you in a group at all. We all come together to make sure we are all on the same page on the tasks that need to be done to get to reach the successful end goals. Lastly, unscorable statements are those that come from the quiet person or the person that does not really understand what the team is trying to accomplish. None of the people on the team might not understand what this person is trying to say. To be successful with your team, communication and relationships are most important. A good team works together as one and all wants to achieve…
