Arrow Furniture is a family-owned and operated manufacturer of
high-end furniture located in North Carolina. The furniture industry
has suffered from foreign competition over recent years. Nationwide,
there have been massive layoffs and several large companies have
closed. Arrow’s workers are feeling these pressures and have begun
7. displaying counterproductive behaviors. The HR manager recently
told Mary Baker, the family member serving as CEO, that employees
are threatening to unionize if they don’t get higher pay and more job
security. Mary is upset by this comment because the family has
supported employees with decent salaries and health benefits. Higher
wages are the last thing the company needs if they are to remain
competitive.
The Baker family wants to turn things around. They know they will
have to be more competitive price-wise. This might be achieved by
finding cheaper suppliers, lowering employee labor costs, or
increasing productivity. That said, the Baker’s strongly believe that it
is important to “take care of their people,” many of whom are lifelong
employees.
A global car manufacturer is going to open a new facility in the
community. It is likely the company will offer higher salaries and
better benefits than offered by Arrow Furniture. The firm is known to
offer such benefits in an attempt to reduce the need for a union. Jobs
at this plant will be more technically advanced than those at Arrow
and the company is offering job training to those who are interested.
The Bakers are aware that the nature of work at Arrow results in
moderate levels of hygiene factors and low motivators.
Using the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach and the Organizing
Framework, what should the Bakers do to motivate their employees
and get support for the company’s future plans?
Review the following conversation:
Marcy: Dana, can I talk to you for a couple of minutes? We’ve been
roommates for two years and I think I have a time management
problem. I just don’t get enough done in a day. What do you think?
Dana: Tell me more. How did you decide that you have a problem?
Marcy: I never get everything done on my to-do list. The more I get
done, the more I end up adding to the list.
8. Dana: What would solving the problem look like to you?
Marcy: Well, I’d get everything done on my list.
Dana: Is that realistic?
Marcy: It’s not, but what else am I going to do?
Dana: What else can you do that will help? Can you work with an
advisor? Use a scheduling program?
This is an example of coaching. Describe the process of coaching and
explain why is it important for managers to be effective coaches.
