    Comments

    Key Observations
    The company is assigning young people as district managers
    They want to strictly follow rules and take rash decisions

    Bob Marsh showed improvement and follow rules


    Meredith and Jim Rathbun acknowledged it

    Vince Reed gave mild feedback but criticized heavily on report


    Marsh should be given the right feedback. Vince Reed tends to focus
    on rules and not the end results

    Ted Franklin was giving reading assignments to Marsh


    This clearly indicates Teds attitude towards following rules and not
    respecting seniority

    Physicians condemn CPI for firing Marsh


    It proves that Marsh was providing the best results

    Analysis and Recommendations


    Frequent changes of district managers and appointment of
    young people indicates the company is growing big.
    Decreasing flexibility and increasing adherence to rules
    indicates that the organisation is becoming mechanistic
    The rules are followed blindly and the spirit behind the rules are
    forgotten. Thus, Marshs performance and was not appreciated

    Recommendation
    Company should focus on improving the values among
    managers and allowing flexibility in the system
    Marsh wrote a letter to CPI after his dismissal. It indicates his
    concern for the firm. Talk to him to get his viewpoints about the
    problems
