Lisa Benton
MBA – Comportamiento Organizacional y Liderazgo

Consignas del Trabajo:

1) ¿Cómo hizo Lisa Benton para meterse en este lío? Explique brevemente la secuencia de los acontecimientos.

Lisa Benton (LB), mientras hizo su MBA en Harvard, realizó una pasantía como asistente del presidente de Right-Away Stores con excelente performance.

Al finalizar sus estudios, tuvo que optar entre dos posiciones: una donde le ofrecían la dirección de Marketing en la misma empresa donde estaba con un mejor salario y posibilidades de crecimiento, y otra de Houseworld, empresa de mayor tamaño, donde le ofrecían capacitación en marketing, área en la cual ella creía necesario apuntalarse en ese punto de su carrera. Finalmente se decidió por esta última.

Una vez en la compañía, LB es asignada a un producto de escaso atractivo, donde su jefa, Deborah Linton (DL), le presta muy poca atención desde el comienzo, y el Associate Product Manager, Ron Scoville (RS), sólo le asigna tareas irrelevantes. Ella detecta resentimiento hacia los graduados en MBA por parte de sus superiores inmediatos, quienes sostienen que los Harvard MBAs son arrogantes e inútiles. Por el miedo a ofenderlos, adopta una actitud pasiva, soportando ser designada para tareas extremadamente operativas, mientras que su voz no parece ser considerada a la hora de tomar decisiones. En este ambiente, LB crea relaciones cordiales con empleados fuera de su equipo de trabajo, incluso con el superior de su jefa, pero tirantes con DL y RS. Se presenta en algunas ocasiones con la intención de recibir entrenamiento pero le es negado sistemáticamente, aumentando su frustración y su sensación de discriminación. Retroalimentada permanentemente por el temor de ser encasillada como "otra MBA presumida", LB permanece en una posición de expectativa, no genera propuestas, no opina y ni siquiera intenta un curso de acción alternativo. La primera evaluación de desempeño es negativa exactamente por no demostrar aquello que ella misma

    Judith Sargent Murray was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts on May 1st, 1751. She grew up to be an American advocate to women 's rights as well as a famous poet and writer. Judith lived in the time where women were not equal to men and did not have the same opportunities. Growing up, she watched her brother become well educated and she as well wanted to learn everything, but her parents refused to bring her up in the same way they did their son (Wikipedia). Women 's voices were not heard and Judith became very aware that society did not succumb to the ambitions of any lady. With time, Judith became one of the first Americans to pursue and fully justify that women and men were equal in the economic world and that would make her a world wide author though her piece called “On the Equality of the Sexes.”…

    Well-being focuses on developing as a person. It has two main elements: psychological well-being (including feeling and thinking) and physical well-being. Children’s relationships and interactions with their families and communities contribute significantly to their sense of well-being. Children need to feel valued, respected, empowered, cared for, and included. They also need to respect themselves, others, and their environment. They become positive about themselves and their learning when adults value them for who they are and when they promote warm and supportive relationships with them. Expressing themselves creatively and experiencing a spiritual dimension in life enhances children’s sense of well-being. Life is full of challenges and struggles. Therefore, being flexible and having a positive outlook on learning and on life is crucial. All these experiences help children to become resilient and resourceful and to learn to cope with change and situations in which things go wrong. Physical well-being is important for learning and development as this enables children to explore, to investigate, and to challenge themselves in the environment. A growing awareness of their bodies and abilities is also part of this. The adult supports children’s psychological and physical well-being by helping them to make healthy choices about nutrition, hygiene and exercise. He/she plans for and provides opportunities for children to express themselves, to encourage them to play and work with others, and to deal with challenges. The adult also helps children towards independence by providing them with choice in their activities, and by providing opportunities for them to make decisions and to take the lead.…
