Who's the Boss?
In groups or individually, analyze the following and give an oral or written report.
1. Have you ever worked in an organization in which the lines of authority were unclear? Have you been a member of a social organization in which this happened? How did this interfere with the organization's functioning?
2. Do you believe that the "one boss/one person" rule is a good idea? Don't hospital clerical workers frequently have many bosses? If you have worked in a situation in which you had more than one boss, what was the result?
