The Reluctant Workers

The Reluctant Workers

Read the Chapter 6 Case: “The Reluctant Workers.” Prepare a three to four page
report that answers the following:

1. Identify and analyze three of the core skills that were at play in the case of
the reluctant workers, referencing the ten skills described in Chapter 4.
2. Analyze the way in which Tim Aston, the young project manager, was
exercising his skills with respect to his project staff and the functional
managers. Discuss Tim Aston’s effectiveness in light of the three core skills
you identified.
3. Analyze the degree of support Tim was provided by his company: What kind
of support did Tim require, and to what extent did he receive it?
4. Make recommendations to both the senior executives (the company) and Tim
Aston, relative to personnel motivation and resource allocation, etc., in order
for Tim to be an effective project manager.
