Timothy Res Case Study

While working for the department, it became very apparent that the practices and management style of the Department Director significantly affected the culture and daily activities of the individual sections under his leadership. First, he would set objectives and standards for the individual sections. These objectives usually looked good on paper but were often unrealistic when applied to daily operations. These lofty ideals, set as goals to middle management, seemed overwhelming and out of touch with the reality of hands on field operations. As a result, middle management would frequently choose to either change or completely disregard the given directives. This disconnect in the chain of command would often cause confusion and inconsistencies at the operations level. Additionally, lack of follow-up meant the Department Director assumed his set objectives were being carried out while lower level employees remained uninformed.

In taking command of an organization, the commander needs to understand how the entire organization works; the synergistic effect of all its parts. Unlike the staff officer who may focus on the part of a problem relevant to his/her function and the efficiency of his/her section, the commander must have a holistic perception of the issue. The commander’s thinking must now shift more focus to the conceptual level of

Dealing with production, we placed Justin Dejarnette in charge. With a construction background, he knows what it takes to make products quickly and efficiently while minimizing costs. Other department

First step is to set, agree and emphasize on our hard goals as a team. These goals are not expected to be too different form the ones set by Brian for V.H.E. After that, each division is expected to present their SWOT or a similar analysis for their individual center. Once these tasks have been completed, each individual center manager and I can set and agree on hard goals for that division along with a specific strategy to reach those goals. For example, the goal of reducing waste, including, high level inventory will be on the hard goals list for all profit centers. Profit sharing plan will be re-written to reward

6. What lessons can we draw from this case about the challenges of pursuing a cost leadership strategy?

Although the policies for the new hierarchial structure had been established and amended over the use of the new facility, yet the three concerned departments are not considerably complying with these and still creating problems resulting in conflicts among the departments, making it difficult and almost impossible for this new section supervisor to perform his job efficiently. His discussion with his department manager, Gary Whitehead, proved unfruitful as well. He refused to assist him in informing the departments about the new priorities by signing the memos and floating them in the

1. The main Organizational Behavior problem in “The Overhead Reduction Task Force” case is in creating a leading an effective team, specifically “Office of the President” team. Williams is fretting nervously and rightly so. Our take on the situation is that Dixon just “threw him under the bus”, by putting him in charge of the team and leaving for much needed two weeks vacations after being on the job for one week.

In addition, Craig fails to use his managerial position to delegate second level tasks to others, who are capable of handling those tasks. By focusing on second level tasks, Craig loses time and effort that could have been used to accomplish important tasks. When individuals at work focus only on what is urgent rather than what is important, organizational problems such as poor delegation which was previously mentioned, poor organization at work, and weak organizational hierarchy tend to occur. In this case, poor delegation of tasks makes it difficult to organize work activities within the company. Poor organization makes people less efficient and less effective. Less efficient and less effective individuals lead to weak organizational hierarchy. A weak organizational hierarchy can lead to a decrease in the overall productivity of the company.

For the majority of American workers, the ultimate mission of their employer is to make a quality product, with the ultimate goal of making a profit. For my employer, the Department of Defense (DOD), the mission, “is to provide the military forces to deter war and to protect the security of our country” (About the Department of Defense, 2015). Having employees that understand how they contribute to the mission, vision, and goals of the DOD is taught from day one. With the ultimate responsibility of taking life, strong core values are also of high importance. Each component of the DOD create their own statements of how to complete their specific area of responsibility in the DOD mission. For the Air Force, each section all the way down to individual units, develop their own statements on how they fit into the overall mission. The following paragraphs will discuss the Technical Order Home Office’s, core values, mission, vision, goals, structure of the unit, and how the key leaders contribute to the overall success of the Air Force and the DOD.
