(Continued) Bank within the last year, but worked for nine years at another bank. Vanessa finds Heather to be very helpful. She often pops in when Vanessa is with a customer to introduce herself and make sure everything is going well. Heather also allows Vanessa to listen in when she calls disgruntled customers or customers with complicated requests, so Vanessa can learn how to manage nese types of interactions. Heather trusts her staff and enjoys seeing them grow, encouraging them by organizing games to see who can open the most accounts and offering helpful feedback when customer interactions do not go as planned. Vanessa is grateful for the advice and support she receives from Heather, and looks up to her because she is competent and kind. Vanessa is coming up on her three-month review and is very nervous that she might get fired based on her low sales record and the negative feedback she has received from Bruce and Marion regarding her performance. Vanessa decides to talk to Heather about her upcoming review and what to expect. Heather assures Vanessa that she is doing fine and shows promise even if her numbers have not reached that of a seasoned banker. Still, Vanessa is concerned about Bruce and Marion. She has hardly had more than two conversations with Bruce and feels intimidated by Marion who, she perceives, manages by running around barking numbers at people. QUESTIONS 1. Based on the assumptions of Theory X and Theory Y, how would you describe each manager's philosophy and style of leadership? In what way do their attitudes about Vanessa affect their leadership? 2. In this type of customer service setting, which leadership style would be most effective for the bank to meet its goals? From the bank's perspective, which (if any) manager exhibits the most appropriate leadership? Discuss. 3. What advice would you give to each of the managers to enhance their leadership skills within the bank? 4. What do you think Vanessa can do to prepare herself for her three-month review?
