. CASE STUDY Martin is a senior manager of a large software engineering
company where he had worked himself up during his tenure over the last fifteen
years. He was recently promoted to his current position, due to his innovative
ideas. These resulted in excellent financial performance, for which he got most
of the credit. Martin is very loyal to the company but is also well-known in the
industry for several business acquisitions he was involved in. He is self-
confident, has a very strong vision and sees himself as the future managing
director of the company. He is also known as a manager who does not tolerate
opposition and often outsmarts his opponents in the business world. The Board
of Directors think very highly of Martin. They can always count on him to set
the example for what can be accomplished, and, with his personality, he meets
any sort of demand that the company places on him. However, even though
some of his followers like him and view him as their hero, others blame him for
using his power for his gain, that he is too concerned about pleasing top
management and not nearly concerned enough with the needs and concerns of
those who challenge his decisions. Relative to employees in other departments
doing similar jobs, most of his staff feel underpaid and overworked. They also
experience that they are not in control as they are restricted in making decisions
about their work. They are uncertain about the future direction of the company,
and they don’t feel as if they belong to the company anymore. They also
complain they cannot rely on his support. Consequently, there is considerable
conflict in the department, but as colleagues don’t want to talk about their
frustrations with Martin, they start blaming each other. They experience the
work environment as very stressful, and some threaten to resign or consider
asking for a transfer to another department. The performance of the department
has begun to suffer because of his style and leadership. Top management seems
to be oblivious to the situation.
