by 6pm, worth 35% of final mark

Present detailed answers, using 6 academic references to support them, to the questions posed

at the end of this case study in approximately 2,000 words in total:

Read the following case study and answer all the questions.

THE NEW TEAM LEADER

Bill Myers had been working as a technician for a regional Internet service provider (ISP) for

three years when he received a promotion to technical support team leader. Bill was quite

excited to be leading the team. He had worked very hard to develop the technical skills for

answering calls and the interpersonal skills for communicating technical solutions to customers.

Also, he had demonstrated his desire for the promotion by volunteering for overtime and

working all over holiday periods. Finally, he had been promoted. However, now he faced

problems he had not anticipated. How would he be able to convince his friends to take him

seriously in his new role as their boss? How was he going to maintain the discipline needed in

this workplace with existing and new employees?

The ISP’s customers were generally satisfied with the level of dedication and care shown by the

former team leader, who handled not only technical support for individual consumers but

business and government accounts as well. However, a recent acquisition had increased the

technical support team’s workload, and due to the reduced standard of technical support a

number of the larger account customers were not renewing their contracts. This was an

important issue, because reliable technical support was regarded as the core competency that

had originally set the company apart from other regional ISPs.

Bill was one of the first technicians employed by the company, and the first technician promoted

from within the ranks to be team leader. When he first started, he was lucky to train with the

manager of the business, a very experienced and competent technical specialist. He modelled

his own skills on those of his manager and worked diligently to handle most jobs with the fewest

mistakes and even fewer complaints. Where the other technicians handled only forty to fifty

technical support jobs, Bill routinely handled ninety or more jobs, including some of those with

the most demanding technical problems. He not only cleared his own jobs but frequently

assisted other technicians in clearing their backlog. When extremely difficult calls came in, such

as calls from customers who had been disconnected for not paying their bills within the agreed

terms, it was often Bill who was asked to handle them. He rapidly developed excellent

relationships with all of his customers. During his first year he was named technician of the

month on more than one occasion. In his second year he worked with the existing team leader

to learn how to roster the workers and received advanced training in the company’s network

operations and technical procedures beyond customer support jobs.

Course Information: BUSS1054 Semester 201301

Although the work was extremely fast-paced and required concentration, there was always time

for joking and having fun with the other technicians. Strong friendships grew between the

technicians, who frequently socialised after hours and on their days off. There was a strong

feeling of family in the office. The high levels of training and pay led to extremely low turnover

rates. There were always waiting lists of applicants for the positions. If a technician wished to

leave, he or she had no problem finding work at government departments or for other ISPs.

Morale was generally high due to the respect the technicians felt they received from ‘their’

customers for the high-quality work they performed, the higher levels of pay and benefits they

received in comparison with technicians at other organisations, and the high degree of

friendship among the technicians.

Everyone at the ISP was happy for Bill and sincerely wished him well. They all knew now that

they could be promoted if they worked hard enough. Bill was anxious to assume his new

responsibilities and even to try some new procedures he had been devising. Within six months

Bill wasn’t nearly as happy with his promotion as he had thought he would be. Some of his

friends, who were now his subordinates as well, didn’t seem to pay attention to his suggestions

concerning their job performance. They ignored his instructions and frequently treated them as

a joke. This attitude was even worse among new technical staff, who would often switch shifts,

leave early or arrive late and ignore both his authority and his carefully planned rosters.

Bill soon realised that his new position was missing one thing – the authority to go with his new

responsibilities. He had no authority to sanction any of his subordinates: he couldn’t dock their

pay, make them work overtime or cut back on their hours. He couldn’t shorten their lunch breaks

or eliminate their coffee breaks. Any such sanctions could come only from the overall company

manager. If he tried to insist that a new procedure be used or that rostered hours be worked

and the technician balked, he had no recourse. If he complained to the manager, he would be

viewed as unable to do his job. He couldn’t complain to his friends, because they were part of

the problem. He tried acting in an authoritarian manner and harshly insisting on the new

methods. He was met with hostility, and his friends stopped talking to him. One day he had had

enough and he berated a group of his friends about how they gave him no respect, they were

uncooperative, and they weren’t doing their jobs, and he was fed up with it. After all, he didn’t

ask them to do anything he wasn’t willing or able to do himself. Morale was plummeting (his as

well as the other technicians) and productivity was falling. Bill felt like a failure at the job he had

worked so hard to get, and even beyond that he felt he was losing his friends.

Bill knew that something was going to have to change. He needed to try something new, to

somehow regain the respect of his subordinates and find a new way to inspire improved

performance and efficiency and restore morale. And he had to accomplish all this while

maintaining his friendships with the other technicians.

Course Information: BUSS1054 Semester 201301

Questions

1. Which traits, skills and behaviours associated with successful leaders does Bill possess?

Cite specific examples in support of your answer.

2. Why did Bill have problems making changes and maintaining discipline when he was first

promoted to a position that required leadership?

3. Analyse Bill’s leadership situation in terms of his sources of power. Are there types of power

he couldn’t or shouldn’t use? What types of power could he draw on, and how could he use

those types to greatest effect?

4. How could Bill become an effective leader in his new position? Apply relevant leadership

theory/theories to answer the question.

[Case based on one by Michel de Percy, University of Canberra, Sourced from Hitt, M.A.; Black, J.S.; Porter, L.W. and
Hanson, D. (2007) Management, Pearson: Australia]

Your answers to the Case Study should be presented as four (4) distinct answers that are

presented with a covering introduction to the whole case study. You should divide your

assignment into a brief introduction, discussion (of each of the four questions) and brief

conclusion section to the case study.

The objective of the exercise is to enable you to develop and present an argument which is

convincing and well supported and is within word constraints. Please ensure that it is thoroughly

and correctly referenced using the Harvard referencing system.

The answers should be written in paragraph form using appropriate headings and sub-headings

based on your reading of the case study and additional research. Please ensure that it is

thoroughly and correctly referenced using the Harvard referencing system. It is expected that

students would use a minimum of 6 different reference sources in the body of this

assignment. Of the 6 reference sources, at least one should be an article from a scholarly

journal. Where less than 6 references are used within the body of the assignment it would be

difficult to achieve a grade higher than P2. Assignments that are not correctly referenced will

incur heavy penalties. See course site for Harvard referencing guide.

Please conform to the following:

 use Font 12

 Times New Roman font only
 1.5 line spacing
 reference list on a separate page after conclusion

 use Harvard Style of referencing ONLY

 do not use foot-notes

 print word count at the end of your assignment (before the ‘References’ section).

Occasionally assignments go missing during submission and return. It is expected that students

will make copies of all assignments and be able to provide these if required.

Assessment of your assignments will take into account:
 relevance of your answer to the question or task set
 clarity of expression
 supporting documentation for arguments
 proper acknowledgment of documentation and use of a bibliographic convention
 logical planning and sequence
 use of inclusive language
