The root of this problem is the lack of capacity in Simon York's Constructive Criticism
towards the teammate he leads. I also felt that the way he dealt with another member of his
team and another team made Tim Durham feel ashamed at that moment. And then laughter
and jokes did not help the cause, but everyone at the meeting was very uncomfortable.
Therefore, I think that in this situation there was no correct and positive message. Also, my
next problem with this situation was how you dealt with branch etiquette. I think that anger
should not be handled in any situation in the workplace. What is taught about his behavior
towards employees of the production group, since it only causes fear, anger and self-doubt in
relation to whom his behavior is directed.
Then, there is the pride and standards he has set for himself and suggests that his teammate
should have the same standards. I believe that the implementation of the standard is
important, but it is also important to guide those who have not yet reached these established
standards. For an effective leader, he leads and leads with kindness, compassion, and precise
direction, but without imposing the ideal and expectations of his employee.
Given my reflections on the analysis of the case, I believe that the root cause of the problem is
Simon Yorke's lack of professionalism switching skills.
In this case, Mary Griffin, who knew about Simon's triumph and how hard he worked
for the company, should review his previous behavior to take action and take it with her.
Because after hearing John's comments about Simon's behavior in the production, she sees
how his behavior in a meeting with another manager made her team feel uncomfortable and
embarrassed. I think the first time you should ask for an appointment with Simon, and discuss
what you saw and the feedback you received.
Because in the analysis situation, Simon already had his own initiative as to how the board
should act and rationalize what should be done with the error of the production groups in the
branch label. I think Mary should declare herself to lead the meeting, and she should announce
herself to express her opinion.
The first step is to contact Simon about the plan to make sure it is being implemented
according to the schedule and listen to your answer. Simon talks about the perfect mistake in
the production department and how you did business. All the while, Mary must monitor her
behavior and actions in relation to how she solved the problem.
Subsequently, when he is done, she should offer constructive critical feedback, based on which
she observes how she copes with it and how it hurt the production team. After that, Mary also
needs to talk about what she saw in the conference room and how it made her worry about
what he did wrong. I think she needs to be sure that everyone can be treated in the same way
to maintain a good team work.
Yes, she should, because it wasn´t constructive criticism, it was just for humiliating
Tim. Because he didn´t modify after the meeting, he could think that he should say his criticism
in a way that could harm everyone. He knows the impact of his behavior on the staff, even
after the manifested plan that touched everyone, his colleagues who worked on this plan
weren´t very stimulated. This should tell us that they were more involved in this problem than
what they showed.
This should be done after the meeting, which would made Griffin a better place to talk about
the problem as it as done openly and could be the closest moment of the case. Griffin wanted
to tell Simon his worries or concerns. I think Simon wanted to listen and respond to what
Griffin wanted to say.
The first principle that I really appreciated and that I can apply in my own leader life is
the underlying skills. I think that the short but powerful explanation on the different steps to
give feedbacks can be really useful. It can also be used at Church with my dear quorum
members.
The second principle is the delivering constructive criticism. Yes, it is possible to criticize
someone but if we do it the correct way and depend of the context of course. As a president
leader, I have the keys the say what my dear brothers can do. By doing constructive criticism. It
can be a way to be heard from them without making them bad. It is also another way to invite
people to change things that can be changed or improved.
Being assured that what is being done is meaningful and contributing to something useful can
be necessary to give meaning to the work. In all organizations, feedback is important in order
to stay focused on the right objectives. It allows managers to see if the employee is not getting
lost in the various tasks entrusted to him and gives priority to the right objectives.
The employees also have things to say! Not everyone is lucky enough to be able to speak with
their manager whenever they feel the need. Taking a moment to give feedback allows both
parties to express themselves on the more or less positive points of the past days.
Feedback is important to our group work to keep up going doing a great job. We are
on the same boat, and the purpose is to lead that boat to the place that we want. Having
feedbacks maintain the boat continuing straight to the final result.
