Juan just hired his friend, warren, to manage a team of union welders in an automotive factory. juan worked with warren before in a small, privately-owned welding shop. in the welding shop, warren was the first shift superintendent, where he modestly demonstrated that he knew more about welding than anyone in the region, and he always came up with brilliant solutions. warren knew his ideas were good, he owned up to his mistakes when he made them, and his workers successfully followed his lead, making him the most productive leader the welding shop had ever employed. however, only a month after hiring his friend, juan is disappointed to learn that warren is failing as a manager in the automotive factory. warren does his job the same way he always has, but he keeps failing to follow the complex bureaucratic procedures in the factory, he repeatedly breaks the agreement between management and the union, and his workers do not listen to him.
which of the following is most likely causing these issues?

a) warren does not possess the traits of a good leader.
b) warren's ability to lead depends upon the situation.
c) warren does not know how to behave like a leader.
d) warren's employees know more about welding than warren does.

In december of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its hot dog bun manufacturing facility. the contract called for "10,000 pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of $100,000 per day. until february 2017, the supplier provided processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing process. however, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. the supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the contract. your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of the contract. over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping and having the grain processed would cost your company approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000 to the supplier. after speaking with in-house counsel, it was estimated that litigation would cost the company several million dollars and last for years. weighing the costs of litigation, along with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you could take to resolve the dispute? which would be the best option for your business and why?
