MINI CASE STUDY (30 points)

When you first joined the company over 6 months ago, you tried to initiate or push with a

number of initiatives and policies that were successful at your last company. You met quite a bit

of resistance from business line managers (your peers). You couldn't seem to move forward

with any of your initiatives.

In a recent conversation with a friend who also worked at the company, he told you that you

came across as knowing what is best for the organization and really didn't appear to listen to

others. While you had good ideas, you never bothered to understand what would or wouldn't

work at this company. You seemed to think you knew it all. You need to change everyone's

perception of you.
