Choose the correct anserw. Do not need to explain
1-Mickey Smith's management style was so appreciated in the country of "Boca Raton" that he was promoted four times in four years. But the fifth promotion put Mr. Smith in charge of the company's recently acquired foreign operation, his first international management position.
Relocated to a small town in the country of "Lynnsland", Mr. Smith was surprised by the difficulties he encountered in managing his team. After four months in his new job, he e-mailed me this list of complaints about his staff: 1.They call me Mr. President 2. They defer to my opinions, 3. They are reluctant to take initiative, 4. They ask for my constant approval, 5.They treat me like I am king.
When Mickey and I met to discuss his cross-cultural challenges, he provided a concrete example: "Week two into the job, our IT director e-mailed me to outline in detail a problem we were having with the e-mail process and describing various solutions. He ended his e-mail, 'Mr. President, kindly explain how you would like me to handle this.' This was the first of many such e-mails from various directors to fill my inbox. All problems are pushed up, up, up, and I do my best to nudge them way back down." After all, as Mickey told the IT manager, "You know the situation better than I do. You are the expert, not me."
Meanwhile, the members of Lynnsland's management team were equally annoyed at Mr. Smith's apparent lack of competence as a leader. Here are some of the complaints they offered during focus group interviews:
1.He is a weak, ineffective manager,
2. He doesn't know how to manage
3. He gave up his corner office on the top floor, suggesting to the company that our team is of no importance
4. He is incompetent.
