Case 1 As a ‘Marketing Manager’ of a company, you have recently hired Mr. Moiz Khan as ‘Assistant Manager Sales’ for your Karachi Office. In the Karachi Office, you have given him a small team of ten sales executives, so that he could gain the real experience of managing people. Over a period of time, you have concluded that he often relies on Mr. Akram Khan (a Senior Sales Executive) for his managerial work. Mr. Moiz positively responds to all the recommendations of the senior sales executive without going into details or any critical analysis. He believes that all the lower staff is experienced by virtue of the number of years they have spent in the company and thus considers them as the backbone of the company. The senior sales executive does not have any respect for him and considers himself as a figurehead. Some of the team members also share his views and think that Mr. Moiz does not know his job, and that Mr. Akram Khan is the real boss.
