As case study from one of my family members who is working in an Educational Institution which emphasize on Management, even in their branding.
Lately, out of the sudden, there is a new policy in his department that, all staff cannot clear the annual leave until the end of the important event. Due to some issues that my family member need to settle, he got to apply for annual leave. Unfortunately, it was rejected by his manager.
1. He was not being assigned with any responsibilities in related to the important event.
2. When further ask, the manager is unclear with what are suppose to be done for the event. The manager only replied "Not at this moment".
3. There are other staff whose annual leave was approved even though part of them are in progress of some of the task in related to this upcoming event.
In reviewing this case study:-
1. The manager manage the manpower ineffectively and less productive. There are manpower and the manager failed to fully utilize the resources of the manpower. This will caused wastage of manpower.
2. There are mismanagement and the new policy should only apply to those who are being assigned with the responsibilities. However, those who are involved, their annual leave were being approved. This is due to overly empower a person in the company of higher ranking to make the ultimate decision without proper check and balance.
3. The event is around the corner and as a manager, this manager has failed to set-up a proper organising committee to organise the event.
4. The manager failed to communicate properly and make it clear to all subordinate what are their responsibilities. This will caused communication breakdown between the manager and subordinate.
