7. Scenario

Prime provides technical call centre support for specialised software applications. The organisation has recently formalised a partnership with a reputed corporate training service provider for conducting regular training sessions for its large workforce of customer service representatives.

John is the Head of the Learning and Development function at Answer Prime. John was not keen on an external partnership as all learning events were managed in-house by his team in the past. However, the organisation was growing rapidly with a corresponding increase in the strength of the workforce. Hence, senior management had felt the need to partner with an external agency.

John was upset with the new development. He had unpleasant interactions with his counterpart, Matthew, from the partner organisation on several occasions. John also assigned a significant part of his team's time on micro-managing the training events organized by the partner organisation. The learning and development team found this difficult to handle along with their regular responsibilities and the overall performance of the team suffered.

John was not aware of how his feelings and actions were affecting his team and the partner organisation. He also felt that his own job performance had reduced in effectiveness. He made errors in the annual learning and development plan and budget that he had to present to senior management. He also missed deadlines for a few other critical tasks that he was responsible for.

a. Identify how John responded to the organisation's recent move of partnering with an external corporate training service provider.

b. Explain how John can improve his emotional intelligence to perform his assigned tasks effectively as part of the organisational partnership.

c. Explain how the learning and development team can benefit from John's emotional intelligence, and perform their assigned tasks effectively as part of the organisational partnership.
