Chris Mazey is a Vice President of the Chip group. Chris’ style of administration started right after he was promoted to the vice president's position and his ego took a grip on him. In a nutshell, Chris Mazey bravado increase which arose after the promotion, brought many problems into the organization. For instance, he continually brags about his position in the company and refers to his juniors as just ‘you’ and not by their names. He does not admit his wrongs but rather blames them on others. As a leader, Chris demands things to be done exactly the way he will have done them and this puts enormous stress on his employees. Chris is only interested in advancing himself to better positions by appearing good to the top management. He changes his approach when dealing with his employees. When he gives instructions, his people are hesitant to carry it out and often shy away from engaging in any debate with him. On his part, he has put cameras in every nook and cranny of the organisation as if he wants to be part of every conversation. He has largely not been successful in demonstrating consistency in both his message and behaviour making it difficult for him to win over his employees even when his business strategies change. However, if Chris’ leadership in the organisation is going to be anything close to successful, there has to an improvement in the work environments. Required: i. From the Servant Leadership perspective, identify Chris’s Problems ii. Propose Solutions that will make him a better leader
