QUESTION 5 (20 marks) Adrizal was selected to secure a general Manager position in a manufacturing company after three rounds of interviews. He was offered a meagre salary but was assured of a managerial position after successful completion of his probation of six months. Few days passed by and Adrizal was doing things all alone with some help from the Administration Department. So it struck to his mind that it is now up to him to do something to evolve systems that were learnt by him during his course of management studies. Luckily, he found that he was reporting to one of the directors of the company named Bosyur, who has agreed to support him in his endeavours. So Adrizal took courage to initiate action positively. One day, as it was not too late, Adrizal set out to visit various departments and get self-introduced among other employees. Some of the employees found it strange but Adrizal continued. Then in the evening, he entered the cabin of Chukey and informed him that he wanted to get introduced to the people in the organisation. Chukey ridiculed him and said there was no need of such a thing and that Adrizal would be only wasting his time. However, Adrizal was convinced and said that he would work to bring in some systems in the organization. After introducing himself to all employees, he set on his journey to begin a new way of life with faith in himself single handedly. Days passed by fast and Adrizal had many things to handle. He found handling things are tough and is going tougher. The only ray of hope he had was from one of the Directors, Bosyur, whom he has reported and who seemed to be his only ray of hope as he backed the ideas and suggestions of Adrizal. The first and foremost challenge placed before him was to streamline payment of wages and salaries; portfolio which is handle by accounts and reluctantly given to him. Adrizal managed to solve the payments problem by sorting the root cause with the IT section. Adrizal completed his probation successfully as people around seemed happy by this change and was promoted as a Senior Manager. But he found that his salary did not was not match his position and status in the organization in comparison with other similar positions. Adrizal did enjoy the work. By now he had changed working mood and took to improvise other functional areas of the department. The journey continued with his selfless service for four years with little growth monetarily. The employees in his department were all in proper sync to support all activities. The employee appraisal system was in place. There was induction process introduced. Employee records were properly maintained; all to showcase to the management that a full-fledged department was functioning and that Adrizal was instrumental in keeping everyone happy and satisfied. Adrizal found everything good and wanted to embark on many other initiatives. But he resigned for better prospects. Based on the case study;

QUESTION 6 (20 marks) Salmah is a senior manager at Bagus Sdn. Bhd. It is a leading company in the development and manufacturing of a broad range of custom hardware solutions. The company prides itself and is well known for being refreshingly honest and straightforward in its dealings with customers and employees and in its ability to deliver difficult projects on time. Daud is one of Salmah’s direct reports who has worked at Bagus Sdn. Bhd. for more than nine years and whose historical performance has been excellent. It is generally known among the team that Daud does not have a strong technical background as most of his colleagues. At the same time it is also well known that he has very efficient work style and puts in any extra hours needed to meet personal and team goals. He transferred from a different group and joined Salmah’s team almost two years ago. Unfortunately, Daud has had several performance setbacks on the job over the last three months. One of them revolved around some critical missed assignments and late deliveries. Salmah had assigned him two projects with some stretch goals that were not easy for Daud to hit, but had made those assignments specifically to give him development opportunities he had requested. This approach is typical for her, as she generally has a positive approach and displays confidence in her team members. She had worked together with him on his plans, and had checked in regularly with him during the weeks leading up to the delivery dates. Each time she was assured by him that everything was on track. These were very visible failures that ended up impacting the performance of Salmah’s entire team. The other setbacks were related to workplace confrontations he had at different times with several of his teammates following the missed assignments. Salmah has met often with Daud during these last few months. She moved quickly to call out his missed responsibilities and improper behaviour, wanting to be clear to him and the team that she was holding him accountable for his actions. She interviewed Daud’s teammates to get

-9SKMM 4823 their understanding of what happened and the impact these situations were having on them and the team. She is also spent a good deal of time with Daud to get his perspective, trying to understand what is been behind Daud’s unusual behaviour and to help him get back on track. During her meetings with him, she sometimes downplayed the seriousness of the situations in order to make him feel better about himself. During Salmah’s coaching meetings with Daud over the last two weeks, she learned that there are several things that are likely contributing to Daud’s recent performance issues. He shared some personal financial and family issues that clearly have him worried. He is also concerned about some process and role changes on the team that Salmah instituted a few months ago that have caused changes in his day-to-day work responsibilities. Daud has accepted Salmah’s feedback and recognized and taken responsibility for his actions. Although his personal issues are improving, they are still an obvious worry to him. He is also clearly stuck on how to handle the changes in his job. One of Salmah’s greatest concerns is how to get this formerly excellent performer back on track and contributing more, despite Daud’s obvious discouragement and lack of confidence. Based on the case study; a)

Analyse the case study and state an appropriate leadership theory to describe the worker Daud. In your opinion what makes Daud behaving like that. (4 marks)

b)

Based on path-goal leadership model, investigate and identify FOUR (4) approach implemented by Salmah in dealing with her daily task. (8 marks)

c)

In another view, Salmah could have also implemented contemporary theory of leadership. Investigate and identify FOUR (4) approach implemented by Salmah in dealing with her daily task. (8 marks)
