4. 4
We as a group agreed to place Linda as a manger.
The reason behind placing Linda as a manager :
• She is a task oriented person , the priority is the production and
performance not the employees degree of satisfaction.
• She is characterized as a screaming , combative , ruthless taskmaster
who always gets her way.
• She is known for humiliating employees in front of their peers .
• One of her famous quotes that proves the above mentioned points “
you can’t run a company efficiently with a bunch of babies , if your
don’t like it , leave .this is not a prison “
Question2:WheredoyouplaceLindaas:amanageroraleader?Why?
5. Question2:WheredoyouplaceLindaas:amanageroraleader?Why?
She is so far from the main characteristics and qualities of a good leader :
1. leaders are self-aware and prioritize personal development. : it is known about Linda that She
doesn’t take any lip from any one and she dismisses any ignores any attacks on how she treats
organizational members
2. Leaders focus on developing others: it is noted from the article that she doesn’t care about
developing the employees all she cares about is the performance and productivity of the
company
3. leaders encourage strategic thinking, innovation, and action : she doesn’t encourage any
innovation or decision making actions , she acts with a weird way to keep the upper hand .
4. Leaders are ethical and civic-minded : it is clear that it us not ethically to call a top level
manager over thirty times during the thanks giving break or to fire some employees only to set
an example for other employees that your are tough and serious !
5. Leaders practice effective cross-cultural communication : it is clear that Linda don’t have any
intention to communicate with her employees

improveitsmanagementperformance?
1- Set development & leading plans for the employees.
2 - Create a positive and inclusive work environment.
3 - Time Management to offer maximum production in the work capacity.
4- Practice self-awareness and grow your leadership skills
5- Communicate goals, expectations and feedback. ...
8. 1. Ego: Change requires that the powerful admit that they have been wrong!
2. Cynicism: We must suspect the motives of the change agent.
3. Self-interest: (What is in it for me?): Change may be good for others or even for
the system as a whole, but unless it is specifically good for me, I shall resist it.
4. Lack of Ripeness/ Readiness: Change occurs only when certain preconditions
have been met. Such conditions are rare and can not be forced.
5. Homeostasis: continual change is not a natural condition of life, hence
resistance to change is a healthy human nature.
6. Fallacy of the exception: Change might work elsewhere, but we are different. In
fact, we can’t learn anything from other unless their situation is exactly the
same as ours

We Agreed as a team that this type of autocratic management is not always useful and the
type of management differs with different culture :
