recently been promoted to a supervisory position and are now responsible for
coordinating the work of four other employees. Two of these workers are more
than 20 years older than you are, and both have been with the company much
longer than you have. Although youâ??ve tried to be supportive of them and have
gone out of your way to praise their work, whenever there is some kind of
disagreement, they go to your boss with the problem. Youâ??ve asked them
repeatedly to come to you with whatever issues they have; they just ignore you
and complain to other workers about reporting to someone your age. Design a
strategy for dealing with these workers and your manager.MANAGING A DIVERSE WORKFORCEAfter
two years of sales calls and persuasion, a large, multinational petroleum companyâ??Big
Oil Ltd.â??decides to sign with your employer, Secure Bank. Since Big Oil is
headquartered in Saudi Arabia and most of the meetings with the client have been
in the Middle East, Secure Bankâ??s senior executive in charge of oil and oil products
companies, Julie, has not attended. Although the Secure Bank employees who have
met with the company have told the Big Oil executives that the lead on their account
will be a woman, the news must not have registered, perhaps because of language
difficulties. Today, the Big Oil reps are in Chicago to sign on the dotted line
and meet with Secure Bankâ??s senior managers, and of course, theyâ??ve met with
Julie.A
member of your sales team calls you to say that Big Oilâ??s senior team member
has told him he does not want Julie to work on their account, period. Because
of cultural issues, Big Oil execs are uncomfortable dealing with women from any
country. As Julieâ??s
manager, what do you do? Can you think of ways to respect Julieâ??s expectations and those of the
Big Oil executives?MANAGING UPAND ACROSSAs an operations
professional, you need to be able to interact effectively with many internal
customersâ??from corporate managers to field representatives. One of your peers
is Jessica, who is a talented operations professional but who is downright rude
to her internal customers. Her attitude is so bad that people around your
company ask specifically to deal with you instead of Jessica. Youâ??ve heard many
tales about her sarcasm and her unwillingness to deliver anything other than
the absolute minimum to other employees. Youâ??ve thought about talking to Bruce,
the manager to whom both you and Jessica report, but you and everyone else
knows that theyâ??re dating. In the meantime, your workload is increasing because
of Jessicaâ??s reputation. How
do you handle Jessica and Bruce?
