Failure? | This case study†¦show more content†¦Buchanan amp; Huczynsky (2010) state that Communication affects organisational performance and individual career prospects. The difficulties created because of the initial lack of communication between Cardullo and himself became increasingly evident to Turner on a daily basis. Heightened not only by Cardullo not presenting Turner with feedback or dialogue when the situation required, but also because of Cardullo s verbal interactions with Turner not matching his actions. Festering doubts between the two parties began to impact in a negative manner and cause further deterioration in their working relationship. As Kurtzman (2010) asserts, People with chops are the ones who know what they are talking about. Cardullo, in his capacity as President of MLI, began making amateurish decisions not based on expertise which infuriated Turner as it impinged on his brief to improve outcomes for MLI. The lack of proper and due consideration by both parties at the initial contact to openly discuss expectations had developed into a dysfunctional working relationship between Cardullo and Turner. This effectively having a detrimental effect on the development and implementation of positive growth outcomes for MLI, further compounded by the subsequent failure by both parties to open dialogue about emerging concerns. This scenario between Cardullo and Turner could be improved with conflict resolution meetings in place, to the benefit of MLI and its employees.Show MoreRelatedLibrary Management204752 Words   |  820 Pages337 The Leadership Challenge . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 338 Developing Leadership. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 340 15—Ethics . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 346 Ethics in Modern Organizations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 347 Ethics—A Definition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 347 Contents xiii The Importance of Ethics. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 349 The Ethical Information
