Assignment:
Managerial Decision:
Part one: "Case Study " Johnson, M. A., & Stratton, W. E. (2009). Training session conflict. Journal of Critical Incidents, 2(2009), 150-155
After reading the case study, draft a one-page analysis of the situation, and consider what you would do as the leader in that situation. Summarize what happened at the training event with the group members. How might decision bias have played into the situation? Address how group elements might have affected the situation (e.g., groupthink, groupshift, deindividuation). Are there steps that could have been taken before conflict arose?
Assuming there was nothing that could be done to prevent the situation, what could you do the following morning? How would you involve the group, if at all, in your resolution to the situation? The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about managers and other leaders working with groups and the process leaders use to make important decisions within groups. Consider how important it is to collect all of the facts before making an important decision for a group or with a group.
