Answer to Question #271222 in Management for deep

Question

Rohit Khurana accepted a new promotion as a manager with mixed feelings. It was a high-profile job involving lot of exposure to media and publicity Rohit missed the routine of his old office and the people he had worked with. He had a private office now fully carpeted and air-conditioned, but he felt he really did not have the necessary background for the job. When he submitted his first report on the housing project to the Director, it was nice enough and the Director suggested some changes that in fact meant that Rohit had really got off the track. The Director said not to worry, “We all have to learn a new job”. The more Rohit thought about it, the more he wanted to go back to the old job. But he hesitated for fear that he would be branded ‘a misfit’ by management and thus disqualified for any future promotions. a. If you were Rohit’s boss, what could you do to rectify this situation? 

Answer 1

I would encourage Rohit to accept his new position and commit himself on motivate the office taking his position to maintain the good picture to the public by ensuring they maintain the values of the company. As the boss i would make sure i choose an office with values close those of Rohit to ensure that the company maintains a competitive advantage. Continuous training should be conducted to ensure that the office improve their skills to maintain the profile of the firm to the public.

b.

The situation could have avoided by recognizing the work of Rohit before through personal rewards on his achievement. The boss could have encourage Rohit to train his co-workers on how to relate with the general public to ensure improvement of the organization position. Through democracy the managers could have encouraged the employees to be ready to work in any position without any doubts.
