Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the case study on management’s role in enhancing teamwork. Steven who is an experienced manager for accounts payable provides information to the new manager, Kristine, why the company is not performing optimally. The reason being favoritism from the managers. It is the responsibility of Steven to table the employees who are adversely mentioned so that Kristine will take the appropriate action. Management’s Role in Building Teamwork
Relevant facts
First, we have the bureaucratic organizational structure type of leadership. Additionally, we have the experience gained when an employee does work for a long time in the organization and that is why Steven states that he has learned the “ins” and “outs” for survival in the organization.

Kristine values working with other members. She circulated in the reception asking members how they can improve performance at the payables section.
We have decision making after receiving information. Following Steven’s input that some employees received favors on promotions and overtime work, Kristine called him to tell her the people who were undermining the spirit of teamwork.
Another issue is about feedback and response. Kristine is seeking feedback from the employees about the necessary steps to be taken for improvement. Steven must also give feedback to Kristine regarding her demand to know the people sabotaging teamwork.
Ethical issues
It is unethical for Steven to be complacent because he has work experience. If he failed to bring out the idea of favoritism at work, would the problem be solved? It may not since that is lack of teamwork. Additionally, if Steven fails to mention the people as asked by his new manager, Kristine, it would be a sign of irresponsibility. However, Steven did a good thing to inform Kristine about what is affecting the
In creating three offsite meetings in Napa Valley, Kathryn was able to help her executive team move through the forming, storming, norming and performing stages of team development.

Moreover, Kathryn was prepared to answer a lot of questions, which became apparent in the scrutiny of the offsite meetings. During this time Kathryn was forced to go very in depth and make analogies in order to answer the variety of question she
The other problem is that the employees who were not members of the informal teams were excluded. Pearson and Herman were the non-members of the groups. Pearson work harder than anyone else in the department. However, almost no one criticized his effort. He was even expelled by the Tony’s team. “Tony and his group seemed to feel a distant affection for Bob, but the only contact they or anyone else had with him consisted of brief greetings” (Slade, 2005). On the other hand, Herman was the least hard working employee. He was not understood by the group. None of the members sought for Herman’s help. He never really got involved into the group, and he expressed that he preferred keep distant from the people in his department

Displaying great satisfaction in doing what’s right and obsessed with success, that’s been driven by past experiences, Steven Camden has become set in his ways and hesitant to change. Scared to uncover buried emotions he has neglected his truth by devoting his life to work. He exhibits all the characteristics of a good leader, hardworking, driven, and committed, with the exception of self-awareness and truth. Mr. Camden has successfully climbed the cooperate ladder leading others along the way, but he has come to the realization that his ways of leading are now becoming ineffective. In search of new techniques of dealing with the stress of improving cooperate margins, Steve was introduced to Maria who has encouraged him to seek new perspective

Employees and managers work together as a team to benefit the company. The director of the human resources department is Monique’s manager and she must report all her ideas to him before making them effective.

He described the program in detail and with so much confidence that it made it seem like if he had created it. He thinks that being the director of the company gives him the right to take credit of important outcomes. He is selfish and broke the trust Monique had in

My team- KaCee, Liberty, Angeleea, Jessey, Chanler, Regan, and I- were going on an expedition through the Brownstown gym Jungle. This Jungle is an interesting place; it had various terrain and elevation. We knew while we were going to explore that a river blocks our way, and we no choice but to cross to reach our destination. If it was a normal river, we could have walked across it, but the river was a hard surface filled with alligators. All we had was six logs to get across. We could stand on the logs, but there is a challenge. My team had seven people, two of which were blind, and all of us were tied together (another team did this to us). The goal was to cross the river faster than another group. We can because teamwork
