able to plan and organize activities for his team that contributes to attaining the goals and
objectives of the company. He was able to assign staff to the different tasks that are essential and
was able to influence his subordinates to do the task assigned to them by distributing power and
authority to his trusted subordinates and letting them share the responsibility. As the team
competently completed their task and was able to attain its goal to a minimum effort, an
observation was made by his supervisor as Mr. Julian’s subordinates are starting to slack on their
job and was not able to surpass its current accomplishment on the following months. Their
