1. Jack Nietzche
Should you tell Jack that he isn’t going to be promoted? What should you say if he asks about whether the new assignments were made?
Position-Related Currencies is definitely what has influenced Jack to work as hard as he has to ensure the segments of the project were completed on time (Larson & Gray, 2010, pg. 364). The fact that the promotion is no longer probable will be detrimental to Jack’s performance since he can be pretty emotional at times (Larson & Gray, 2010, pg. 364). Nevertheless, I think withholding information from Jack is not only disrespectful to his so far excellent performance but will also disrupt the team’s trust on the Project Manager.
2. Seaburst Construction Project
What should you do? Why?
Clearly, the fact that several pieces of valuable equipment are missing from the storage sheds during the weekend is a sign that they are being used for alternate purposes. Project Managers establish standards of performance with their daily interactions (Larson & Gray, 2010, pg. 355) and if no precedent is set with this situation, other team members will think that this kind of behavior is acceptable (Larson & Gray, 2010, pg. 355).
3. The Project Status Report Meeting
What should you tell your client about the current status of the project?
Building trust not only with the team members but also with all stakeholders is fundamental to a successful project. Therefore, I would schedule a meeting (before she demands it) as soon as possible with the client not only to inform her of the project setbacks but also to show her the action plan to solve the problems. This face-to-face interaction will affirm mutual respect and trust from both parties (Larson & Gray, 2010, pg. 362).
4. Gold Star LAN project
Would you sign the document? Why? Why not?
Under no circumstances I would sign the document since is not only fraudulent but also unethical. Sadly, I can see how a refusal to sign the bill can
