Managing in Foreign Land
What weaknesses do you see in Joe's handling of Wolfgang?

The article does not mention Joe's attempt to handle Wolfgang's style of leadership, he simply agreed with Wolfgang's monetary raise to try and motivate the workforce.

Could Joe have anticipated Wolfgang's approach?

Joe should have anticipated the resistance to change from his workforce. He should have also realized that Wolfgang's foreign personality and work habits could be a potential problem to his longtime self empowered workforce. In addition, Joe should have spent time with Wolfgang allowing him to time to evaluate his foreign leadership style with the workforce instead of leaving along and going out to work on strategic planning and building external relationships.

    Change in Chrysler's Work Culture

    The first question leads me right into the second with Mr. Machionne trying to improve the PE fit of the company. The PE fit is simply “the compatibility between an individual and a work environment that occurs when their characteristics are well matched.” I believe that Mr. Machionne is doing a much better job then Peter Fong when it comes to making sure you have the right people working for you. One of the things he did was interview every single executive to evaluate if he thinks that the person is qualified and too make sure he has the right person that fits his work ethic. He fired a lot of people who he didn’t think were performing how he thought they were capable of, and also promoted people who he thought were lower then they deserved too be. Mr. Machionne is giving a lot of the…

    Joe, in response to Tina’s approach, has clearly felt threatened and therefore lost his usual calm, rational behavior and responded with a power-based approach. This has also done nothing to help the situation, as now both employees are on the offensive. He is resentful of her accusations and her attempt to sway him with demands, threats, and emotions. His resentfulness has led him away from his usual demeanor and caused him to come across as insensitive and play back with a power-based reaction stating that Tina is lucky to have her job at all.…

    case study 10-1

    Response: Mr. Gomez tends to over analyze potential problems. The problems I foresee are Gomez takes extra care to see all invoices are checked twice, he monitors for neat desks, he takes twenty minutes of his morning to check punctuality, and he even tries to make his employees feel he cares by remembering birthdays and anniversaries. It seems to me as he has a micro-management problem but being over 5 people who have up to 10 people to oversee is going to be a little critical to Victor Gomez’s hands on approach. He is going to have to let them assist him and all the inability to delegate authority, responsibility, and accountability to other people such as his five section supervisors could help eliminate some of his problems.…
