• Case (20 Marks)
• Mrs Jessy was recently promoted to head
  the accounting department in Souza manufacturing
  Company. She had worked in the same department
  for 12 years and when Mr, Sewbert the previous
  manager retired, she was asked to all the
  position. It has now been about 3 months since
  Mrs. Jessy has been promoted, and there has been
  several misunderstandings between her and the
  Vice-President, Accounting and Finance-Mr. Arun.
  The misunderstanding pertained to the way Mrs.
  Jessy ran" the accounting department. The
  Vice-President wanted Mrs. Jessy to handle all
  the day-to-day issues and felt that she was not
  assertive enough in assuming her new
  responsibilities.

• There were instances where Mrs. Jessy
  failed to get things done on time was not
  following up on other people's duties and always
  waiting to be told what to do instead of
  initiating action. You have been invited as a
  consultant and asked to look into the problem and
  give your suggestions. Being an expert in the
  field of OB, you met Mrs. Jessy to and out what
  she feels about Mr. Arun, the Vice-President and
  her new position as Manager Accounts. She says
  that the vice-president does not appreciate her
  abilities and that what is lacking in her present
  job is the direction of her superior, Mr. Arun.
  She on her part is willing to do whatever needs
  to be done. Mrs Jessy wants to do a good job but
  not becoming an autocrat that Mr. Arun wants her
  to be. Mrs. Jessy says she likes her new job but
  does not know if her career is moving in the
  right direction. This comes from a person who has
  been promoted just 3 months back. As an OB
  consultant, you have decided that it would be
  helpful to assess Mrs. Jessy's and Mr. Arums
  personality type by administering the
  Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Mrs. Jessys score
  indicate that she is more Sensing/Thinking type
  and Mr. Arun is an intuiting/Thinking type.
