Question

Case 1:

In this case, as a Manager, I would not make any assumptions regarding the new team member based on hearsay. Also, since there are mixed comments about the said employee, it would be better to start off the relation with her from the scratch with understanding her ambitions, motivations and making her understand about mine. I would also make sure that she is assigned with appropriate tasks if she is looking for challenging work and does not play well with the team. But inspite of this, I would remind her that she is a part of the team and should try to work on her skills with respect to when the team needs her involvment and help. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses and it would be great for the team if we use the new members strengths to our benefits, and it would be also beneficial to her as she can improve her social skills with the help of some team building exercises which can be organised from time to time.

Case 2:

As we see here that all the team members perform excellent in their tasks and do not need a manager that much. But team building is equally important for such teams as they may not perform that well in future where a task may require them to work in harmony. To tackle this, one great way is to organise Outbound Training Retreats on a weekend for the entire team. This allows people to bond with each other while learning the importance of working together. This would also allow them to see me as an authority figure and help them in following directions during the training and team building activities organised over the weekend. For example, Scavenger hunts where I provide all the clues one by one as the team solves each one by working together.

Explanation / Answer

Note : Please answer in details Your Own Words - Do Not Copy and Paste

Case 1: A new employee is transferred to your department and you hear from several people around the organization that she is hard to manage. She has a reputation for questioning everything, challenging her boss, and refusing to give up when she wants something. Several of her previous team members tell you that she does not play well with others and is always second- guessing their actions and decisions. Your supervisor, however, thinks she is a star and believes that you are lucky to get her. How do you approach the situation? Case 2: You have been promoted to a new managerial position and your team members are missing in action most of time. Their performance is by and large excellent, but getting them together is proving challenging. They are away on various jobs, and although friendly, don't seem to need you much. You feel like you should establish your authority. How do you approach the situation?
