Case study 5 (10 marks)

Ms. Manar is a post graduate from Sultan Qaboos University. Her dream is to be self-employed rather than taking a job with some company. She started with an event management company wherein she organizes conferences, parties, exhibitions, decorations and other events for clients. She recruited a team of 10 people to assist her in event management. Her first assignment is to organize a major automobile exhibition for a leading company in Oman. Ms. Manar and her assistants started working together for over a month. But, Manars assistants do not have team spirit as they do not openly communicate with one another.

Manar contacted each individual on the team and told them about their responsibilities on the project. Each of Manars assistants gets their tasks completed, but they are not worried about the work of others in the team. If a team member has a problem, no one helps him/her to solve that problem. One day, a team member had an emergency and asked if someone on the team could help her so that she could leave early. No one is ready to help. Hence Manar herself jumped in to assist. This made Manar realize that something is not right with the team. Many others on the team are also talking about getting out of the project. Manar is now afraid if the event would be successful or not as its her first project and she will not get any orders in the future if she fails in her first one.
