• The store manager must have asked for the opinions of each of her sales employees. It was her duty to involve them in the decision making process and find out a solution in a peaceful and proper manner.
• The Store Manager’s behavior and store morale did not go hand in hand. This is mainly because of the fact that her rude behave angered the employees. The employees wanted to drop resignations and leave. However the manager must have behaved politely and encourage her employees to work over the losses.

  Q2

• Not making eye contact might make the other team members feel that the lady is too proud.
• If the lady is not interacting much or not going into parties then the team members might feel that they are being disliked by her.

I would explain that there is some cultural difference. Some cultures do not allow women to talk to men much or go out for social gatherings.

The team can undergo a thorough learning about the cultural difference and make sure that they are helping the lady. They have to support her in all the possible efforts rather than getting angry on her.

Q3

• I will try to keep my anger aside and then interact with the employee in a proper manner. I will try to call the employee for some meeting and ask him that what are the issues that he is facing in the office. As the employee is introvert I will try to give him the more amounts of group related activities and make sure that he is taking part in the group activities.

• In order to understand the employee better I will always talk with him and take feedbacks in order to provide all the possible support.
• I am aware of my empathetic nature. Thus I will be using the same in order to support all the needs of that employee.

Q4

• The managers have to take care of the employees that are emotion all effective. It is the duty of the managers to create a positive work ambience and make sure that they are taking care of all the needs and demands of their employees.

• The targets can be met only of the employees are getting a very happy environment. This will help the company to flourish in the market and also take care of the emotional needs of their employees. This will surely be a good move for the company.

• The targets must be set in such a way that the employees are getting adequate time and training to meet the same. The managers have to collaborate with the employees so that they can actually include them in the decision -making procedures.
