Case Study.

The board of directors for Crude Oil has brought in a new manager, Jim, to revamp the company and increase sales. Jim$$s confrontational and intimidating management style causes many employees to take his abuse silently out of fear of losing their jobs or being demoted. Jim$$s behavior is in direct conflict with the company$$s most important value to treat everyone with respect. While Jim has increased the company$$s sales and profits, the salespeople have been intimidated by his behavior. Jim has blamed salespeople for mistakes they didn$$t make just because he didn$$t like them. Jim demoted a salesperson who confronted him about his behavior. Jim has even lied about another salesperson$$s health when her sales numbers dropped.
