Homework
Some of the managerial topics that have been discussed over the past few weeks have to do with styles of leadership along with motivation and the set-up-to-fail syndrome as cited by different authors in HBR (2011). We are staying with Manzoni and Barsoux as cited in HBR (2011) and their idea concerning those who are part of the in-group or the out-group of a workplace from a managerial perspective. In addition, as we have completed some work about the set-up-to-fail syndrome, next week we will add reading the article by Walker as cited in HBR (2011) about Saving Your Rookie Manager from Themselves.
