• Case (20Marks)
• National Printers LTD, is a nationwide
  company engaged in printing and packaging
  industry with a market share of around 20
  percent. Its corporate office at Mumbai, is a
  buzz with the appointment of director, personnel,
  Mr.Shashikant and today hes to present his ideas
  in first meeting he has called. The meeting
  attended by three VicePresident, heads of
  finance, marketing and around 45 managers,
  started and he was called upon to present his
  views. Mr.Shashikant started, my division is
  responsible for developing performance standards
  evaluation and personnel development of line
  managers. I want to specially focus on larger
  issue of developing their abilities the company
  has relied upon evaluation by superiors and
  personnel department.

• But may I suggest, that the performance of
  the manager should be evaluated by adding one
  more element, i.e., information obtained from
  their subordinates. He added, I propose a
  procedure for obtaining information on key
  parameters as viewed by the subordinates. The
  procedure is simple. Each manager and his
  subordinates will meet in presence of personnel
  trainer and discuss the concept. One trainer
  would then complete a question which would
  indicate his/her expertise, people skills,
  functional skills, etc. the subordinates will
  judge the manager on numerical scale and also
  provide base for such rating. The responses
  should be kept anonymous, if desired. Once all
  the information is received, trainers will meet
  managers, brief them and discuss. The purpose is
  to develop a plan where provisions of corrective
  actions, training programs and skill enhancement
  can be suggested.

• Mr.Shashikant concluded by reaffirming that
  the exercise will provide valuable information
  and feedback and also help managers to develop
  themselves. He said once the offer is accepted,
  standards for performance shall be developed by
  the top management and then further steps would
  be taken.
