Leadership Intervention Strategy
Summarize of Case Scenario
The intervention is meant to aid the leadership of the prison to
improve the managerial approach currently in place. Middle-
level managers in the prison feel their efforts are not being
recognized and the terms of employment are not fair. The
intervention is meant to solve the unrest that is currently in the
organization and improve working conditions in ways that will
encourage staff to stay with the organization.
Currently, middle-level managers in the organization believe
the leadership of the organization is not acting in their best
interests. Most middle-level managers in the organization
believe senior managers, led by John Trevor are not addressing
key issues that affect work in the organization. Among the
complaints raised by middle-level managers include under-
compensation, lack of recognition and extensively lengthy
working hours. Managers also believe that John Trevor does not
address their complaints and maintains a detached management
style that does not take into consideration other people in the
organization. An interview with John Trevor, however, shows
he is not aware of what his managers think and believes that
everything in the institution is going as planned. He is willing

3. to cooperate in the formulation of a new strategy that will solve
any issues that are taking place in the organization.
Needs Analysis
A key issue affecting the performance of managers in the
organization is the failure of leadership to acknowledge their
contribution to the organization. According to Heathfield
(2019), the recognition of employee efforts in an organization is
s source of motivation that encourages employees to do the best
in their work that eventually leads to improvements in the
performance of the entire organization. As the warden, John
Trevor should take more time to note the achievements that
have been made by middle-level managers and recognize their
efforts and contribution to the organization. This will act as a
source of motivation that will ensure key employees are
appreciated and encouraged to stay in the organization.
The management of the organization also needs to review the
pay that employees in the organization receive and whether or
not it is in line with industry standards. According to
Herzberg’s two-factor theory, employees pay attention to the
remuneration they receive fr5omk an organization in
comparison to what employees in a similar position get from
similar organizations (Stello, 2011). Employees are satisfied
when their remuneration is similar to or higher than that or
employees in other organizations. Employees at the prison are
therefore dissatisfied because their pay seems to be lower than
other employees and are therefore planning to leave. John
Trevor should, therefore, identify ways of ensuring that
employees in different capacities in the organization receive
fair compensation that will keep them motivated in their work.
Effective communication also seems to be a major issue in the
organization., Middle-level managers believe the warden does
not communicate them often and uses a detached approach that

4. does not allow them to know what his expectations are and what
they can do to match them. An effective communication strategy
will ensure that employees are well informed about the different
activities taking place in the organization and how they can
contribute to the achievement of the goals and objectives of the
organization. John Trevor should, therefore, design a much
more comprehensive communication strategy that will keep all
key staff in the organization informed on what is going as well
as what he expects them to achieve. This will improve
teamwork and corporation in the organization and will
eventually improve productivity as a result of much more
efficient operations.
Management of the organization also needs to identify ways of
reducing the workload of employees. Currently, employees feel
overworked in their current duties, meaning the organization is
either understaffed, or duties in the organization are not being
allocated efficiently. Management needs to properly analyze the
human resource needs of the organization and identify the total
number of staff that are required in order to ensure that work is
efficiently conducted in the organization. This will enable
managers to determine if additional staff need to be hired or
tasks need to be redistributed in order to ensure that certain
employees in the prison are not overworked.
Conclusion
The prison is currently dealing with a human resource crisis.
Key employees that are part of the management team are
unsatisfied with the working conditions and are planning to
leave the organization. The warden, John Trevor, is willing to
adopt a new management strategy that will solve these issues
and retain key employees. Key issues that need to be addressed
include the need for recognition and motivation, the need for
fair remuneration by employees and the use of a better
communication strategy that will improve teamwork and

5. coordination. The intervention strategy to be implemented will
consider all these issues when formulating a strategy that can be
used to solve the issues currently being experienced and create
a much more effective work environment.
