| Summary: | Modern, progressive companies understand the importance of developing inclusion early in a team's life cycle, rather than assuming that inclusion will automatically increase with time and contact. This case involves talent management at a greeting card company in a department that writes the wording (phrases, messages, wishes) found in all of the company's cards. The manager of the department is faced with one particular highly talented employee who does not relate well to, and is impatient with, her coworkers who work at a slower pace. The work style of this employee is creating friction that impedes the collaboration and progress necessary to turn out outstanding greeting cards as a team. The manager wants the achievers on her staff to feel valued and included and have the opportunities to be recognized for exceptional individual contributions and cooperative teamwork participation and team goal attainment. The manager seeks the knowledge of the more seasoned managers and her "informal" mentor (who possesses company expertise and knowledge) to help her deal with this difficult but talented employee, ensuring inclusion and achieving the organizational benefits that come with embracing full inclusion, shared purpose, and team goal attainment. |
