MAIN BODY
i) Problems associated with B Clark SME engineering firm
In the case of B Clark, family owned specialized MOT firm, it is found that employees
started leaving organization, come late to office and also decreased their performance. All these
problems arose because of lack of participation by Mr Sabid, who was Russian youngster,
appointed by B Clark as a team leader. Initially, Mr Sabid was an effective team leader but
recently after some time he shown sign of a lack of effort and it impacted on other employees in
negative manner. So, as per the case scenario, some root causes can be discussed. As a trainee
team some root causes have been identified of these problems such as:
Poor leadership style: For becoming a successful leader for the long run it is important
for leader to adopt an effective style that can motivate employees. As it is seen that suddenly,
team leader, Mr Sabid started showing lack of participation. So, here the main root cause was:
poor leadership style. Leader must develop a style of leadership that can support, engage and
motivate employees (Puchalski Ritchie and et.al., 2020). They also need to make changes in their
style as per the situations arises in business environment.
Wrong allocation of task: As it is found that when Daughter of B Clark, Mrs Sara, head
of trainee department went for long 13 months of maternity leave then B Clark allotted
responsibility of training to Mr. Cooper, head of the operation. It is believed that tasks should be
allocated as per the experience and knowledge. So, here the main root cause of lack of
performance by employees was because of not understanding teaching and guiding behaviour of
Mr. Copper.
