Introduction- Meena Sundararaman
Key Course Concepts
The two concepts identified with the La-Z-Boy and the Mattson Corporation benchmarking are creating an effective shared vision and the two stages of the Team Development model, forming and storming.

A highly visible, interactive management style is not only essential to building and sustaining cooperative relationships, it also allows project managers to utilize their most powerful leadership tool – their own behavior (Gray & Larson, 2006). Both Baptist Health and ACUITY demonstrate Leading by Example as well as Recruiting Members to look for individuals with the necessary experience and knowledge/technical skills critical for project completion (Gray & Larson, 2006). Management by wandering around (MBWA) is crucial factor in building social network. The Hewlett Packard CEO, Mark Hurd, encourages their manager to spend more time in face-to-face interaction with employees. The face-to-face interaction makes the manager to be able to stay in touch with employees and motivates them to build a cooperative relationship. (Gray & Larson, 2005. ch.10, p.321)The reason for increase in employee morale at Hewlett Packard is mainly due to the managers close interaction with the employees. The MBWA establish a clear communication flow throughout the organizational structure. The Southwest Airlines is well-known for its relationship with employees. The role of an effective project manager is to build a cooperative relationship with different groups of people. The Southwest airlines employee policies reflect the personal related-currencies method where they offer benefits and positive working environment. The personal-related
