Document Summary

More surprisingly, if you unreasonably refuse to write a letter, or if you write an unreasonably brief letter, you may be held liable for reducing the ex-employee"s job prospects. Even if they are not, you may be justified in sharing your suspicions with the other company: response: finally, having identified and evaluated the risks, you need to formulate a response. An automobile that regularly explodes upon impact should be removed from the market. Apart from issues of morality, the financial costs of being held liable will probably outweigh any sales profits: risk reduction: some risks can be reduced to an acceptable level through precautions. For example, a bank that lends ,000 to a manufacturer realizes that the loan may not be repaid if the economy goes into recession.

Assume that you have just been promoted to a new position where you have leadership responsibility. You have never had formal leadership responsibilities before, and you wish to maximize the possibility that you will be successful with this new responsibility. Reflect upon the major leadership theories and models. 

Develop a Pro and Con list involving at least three of these theories/models. 

Reflect on each theory and discuss how the theory fits with your own personal style. For example - with a contingency style of leadership, perhaps this would not fit with someone's style if that person believes that all subordinates should be treated identically.

Breaking The Bargaining Pattern

Gilson steel is a local fabricating and supply firm. Situated in open country, far from the large steel making centers. The firm has been in business many years. About the third of employees have worked in the organization for more than ten years. Top management would like to get away from the current practice in which negotiations on wage matters and fringes follow the pattern. The firm’s president feels that industry – wide bargaining tends to divorce employees from the firm. He thinks they feel that their employer is a combination of U.S steel and bethlem steel instead of Gilson. He argues that the local firm which has prospered can do better by employees than is possible in national pattern. He says that the local conditions should be considered. His basic objection to current practice, however, is his conviction that it tends to divorce its employees from local employer. The labor relations manager has been urged to try negotiating terms at variance with the national pattern.

 Answer the following questions: ·

  1. What theory and policy do you read into the president’s suggestion? ·
  2. How will his ideas fit into the existing pattern of public union policy? ·
  3. Can you suggest a promising innovative approach?
