    Situation Analysis

    UNDER CHUCK TAYLOR UNDER JANE KRAVITZ

    ● Suggestions before ● Motivated to work under her


    onboard not recognised as a fresh start
    ● Chuck’s assignment ● Joined team for “casual
    fraught difficulties wear” and is assigned with
    ● Bad Feedback, two S.O.’s
    Demotion and Deep ● Same inexperienced market
    Budget Cut ● Overloaded by work, lack of
    ● Demotivation from interest
    Chuck on successful ● Felt down by Jane
    environment Project ● Lack of Trust and

    Differences of thought process

    Situation Brook’s Perception Management Perception


    I am more interested in
    Completing s.o.’s is
    Completion of s.o.’s before environment project.
    everyone’s priority. Deadlines
    environment project Manager’s should give me
    are sacrosanct
    more time for s.o.’s

    I am Afican-American by Based on the assumption


    Assignment to African-
    race, but I have no that he might have
    American and Latino
    experience in this market. experience we allocated him
    market
    Feeling of stereotype the market

    High expectations due to his


    Management’s treatment to Unfair treatment. Budget cut, extensive experience and
    Brooks Demotion, less timeline qualification. Performance is
    not at par
    ● Brook’s had a negative performance
    review
    Attribution Theory ● Despite this he was not interested in
    01 Distinctiveness completing the 2 s.o’s and wanted to
    attend a trade show
    ● He has high distinctiveness and his
    behavior seems to be internal

    ● Brooks was not able to complete the 2


    s.o’s assigned to him on time while other
    02 Consensus
    ●
    employees could do it
    He seems to have low consensus due to
    internal behavior

    ● Brook’s did not complete the work


    assigned to him even before joining
    03 Consistency
    ●
    Jane’s team
    He is consistent in his failure which
    seems to be due to an internal factor
    Recommendation Brooks should be more assertive in raising
    his concerns

    One of the main issues being miscommunication, we would


    advise that Brooks meet with both Taylor and Kravitz

    Job assignment should be more coherent


    with the role/experience of the employee at
    Jensen Shoes
    Brooks should try to focus on giving his best in completing two
    S.O.’s rather than trying to stall them to negotiate something for
    himself
