Case Study-AppraisalIt had been one hour since Phil Lee, a long-time professor at Conseco College (Conseco), had left KarenHessle's office to cycle home and questions still swirled in Hessle's head. The department chair ofcomputer studies wondered what to do about Lee's unusual and erratic behavior.CONVERSATION WITH JULIE LEEHessle decided to call Lee's wife, Julie, to ask whether she had observed Lee's unusual behavior. Hessleand Julie had no previous relationship and had never met. Julie informed her that Lee suffered frombipolar disorder, a mental illness. Currently, Lee was in a state of mania, and this was the cause of hisuncharacteristic behavior. Hessle explained that Lee had stopped taking his medication.Julie Lee was appreciative of the call and explained that, over the past month, her husband had gonethrough quite a serious manic episode. Julie also explained that Lee had been claiming that everythingat work was fine. Julie thanked Hessle and left the conversation, saying that she would take care ofthings.The phone call was out of character for Hessle since she had never called a family member about anemployee's performance before. Despite her reservations that there could be some repercussions fromthis decision, Hessle believed this was the responsible action, given her relationship with Lee and theclose-knit environment within the department.BIPOLAR DISORDERHessle had experience dealing with a variety of unusual circumstances at work but thought that, for Lee'ssafety, she should step outside her typical managerial boundaries and do some research about Lee'sdisorder.Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shiftsin a person's mood, energy and ability to function. It is an illness that affects the mood of an individual,causing larger shifts in behavior than that of an average individual.' Studies have shown that one in fiveCanadians will be affected by a mental illness during their lives.? Also, more than 10 per cent of theadult population will suffer from the depressive side of this illness.' By 2020, it was estimated thatdepressive illnesses would become the second leading cause of disease burden worldwide and theleading cause in developed countries like Canada.Bipolar disorder is characterized by prolonged and dramatic mood swings with two extremes: mania anddepression. The symptoms of mania are increased energy, excessively high or euphoric mood,distractibility and increased sexual drive, among other things. For depression, the symptoms are anxiety,lasting sadness, feelings of guilt or helplessness, decreased energy and, potentially, thoughts of suicide.Bipolar disorder can be treated effectively with a variety of drugs called "mood stabilizers." Thesedrugs can be extremely effective in controlling episodes of mania or depression when they are takencontinuously. Therefore, it is possible for people with this disease to work and adjust to everyday life.WHAT TO D0?Hessle now understood Lee's uncharacteristic behavior, but what should she do next? Explain somestrategies and appraisal methods Hessle can use in order to improve and evaluate performance andbehavior of Lee at workplace?

SECTION B : CASE STUDY Whistle-Blowing and the Environment Katherine works as a clerk for Bio Chemist Services, a small toxic-waste disposal company. The company has a contract to dispose of medical waste from a local hospital. During the course of her work, Katherine comes across documents that suggest Bio Chemist has actually been disposing of some of this medical waste in a local municipal landfill. Katherine is shocked. She knows this practice is illegal. And even though only a small portion of the medical waste that Bio Chemist handles is disposed of this way, any amount at all seems a worrisome threat to public health. Katherine gathers the appropriate documents and takes them to her immediate superior, David. David says, “Look, I don't think that sort of thing is your concern, or mine. We're in charge of record keeping, not making decisions about where this stuff gets dumped. I suggest you drop it.” The next day, Katherine decides to go one step further and talk to Sophia…

Case Study 3 – Miscommunication The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster While reentering Earth’s atmosphere the shuttle unexpectedly disintegrated, resulting in the death of all seven astronauts on board. The cause was later discovered to be damage to thermal shielding tiles from impact with a falling piece of foam insulation of an external tank during launch. It was the seventh known instance of this particular piece breaking free during launch. NASA’s investigation team found melted aluminum on the thermal tiles and inside edges of the left wing of the spacecraft, supporting the notion that the Columbia’s destruction was due to hot gases that penetrated the damaged spot on the wing. Mission control deemed that foam shedding was a not a safety factor prior to launch, believed damage of the shuttle panels were not a significant issue. It was not until January 24, 2003, that mission control had classified the damage as a problematic issue. These missteps in communication between mission…
