Whose responsibility should it be to complete those reports?
It is Bob’s job to clean up and complete any reports he can until the end of the day or until his last day of work. That is only fair to the real people and children who are represented by the cases that he carries. After that however, it is Harriet’s job or whoever Melville Middle School appoints to clean up and organize and take over the cases that Bob has open.

What do you recommend Nancy do above and beyond what has already been done?
Nancy needs to continue to communicate with the clinic administration when any new incident occurs. She also needs to go ahead and file the restraining order and keep in touch with the police so that they can be of help to her. Nancy needs to make sure that she is parked close to the building and in as well lit of an area as possible. She also needs to continue to keep no communication with the ex-boyfriend.
Do you think Nancy is wise in considering a gun to the clinic?
In my personal opinion I do not believe this is a good idea. The gun makes it possible for an already intense situation to become even more aggressive. I do not believe Nancy should bring a gun unless she is prepared to use it and the chances are that he will surprise her before she even has a chance to get the gun out. There is a security guard available and she has notified the police the best thing to do is have the local police patrol drive by her car before it is time for her to leave and make sure that he is not lurking around her car.

“Motivating Employees” is a book about how employee motivation is driven by companies that invest and grow their employees. One of the most important traits of highly effective and successful companies is that employees are happy and have fun at work. Leadership is not assaulting your employees, but to lead your employees you need to motivate by using caring,

In making her share a mailbox with the Parents Club President, he not only inconvenienced Martha, but also humiliated her. If Joe truly wanted to provide a mailbox for Martha, arrangements probably could have been made to either clear an unused mailbox or build a new one, but he did not make the effort. This was Joe’s way of telling her and the rest of the staff that she was not important enough to have her own mailbox; essentially, he was looking down on her. Likewise, he also publicly shamed Martha in front of her coworkers by writing “LATE” on her signature spot if she was even one minute late. Although petty, Joe does have the authority to do this because he is in charge of his employees’ punctuality and
The single most important component associated with managing a successful organization, entails the empowerment of employees. People that are empowered are able to make smart decisions without always having to rely on authority, to point them in the right direction. Creating an empowered organization involves interest in the workplace; minimal absence from work, high retention rates; loyal and motivated team members; as well as efficient results and effective communication amongst team members.

Over the last several years, the issue of employee motivation inside the workplace has been increasingly brought to the forefront. The reason why is because, globalization has been having an effect on the ability of firms to compete (which is placing more pressure on them). To deal with these challenges, most organizations are relying on their employees. The results are that those employers who are able to use this resource will be able to make adjustments quickly. This is when the firm will be able to maintain their dominance in the marketplace.
Empowerment is the best way to promote a good long-lasting employee-customer relationship (Fragoso, 1999). Empowerment can also bring certain benefits to employees of an organization. It makes the employees give more input to company improvements; it promotes higher productivity, and is a good balance between their personal and professional lives. It exercises employees’ minds to find better solutions to problems on the job and increases the employees’ potential for promotions and job satisfaction. It results in personal growth, feelings of confidence and control in themselves and their companies. It makes workers utilize their potentials and it enables them to stand behind their decisions, assume risks, participate and take actions. It is a win-win-win situation: customers benefit from employees, organization benefit from the employees and the customers, and employees benefit from higher confidence and self-esteem (Fragoso, 1999).
It would also be in the best interest of the staff and faculty if they were involved in promoting a “team concept” by soliciting feedback down to the lowest level in the evaluation of newly implemented systems.
