Barry, a shy 30-year-old, has just been promoted to grounds manager at a mountain resort that features a golf course, nature trails, and a stable. In the winter the resort welcomes thousands of avid skiers from around thee world. The resort hires many seasonal employees to maintain the property, working in teams with a single manager. Over the past six years, Barry has moved up through the ranks from seasonal employee to full time employee. Becoming one of five grounds managers is a great accomplishment for him. Unfortunately, as he begins work with a new crew, his productivity and that of his team falls dramatically. What advice would you give Barry? 1. Asked to be reassigned as a full-time grounds keeper rather than manager
2. Evaluate his strengths and weaknesses and seek advice and support from the other grounds managers
3. Fire his existing seasonal employees and start over with a new crew
4. He should not do anything to address the lack of productivity; it often occurs when a new manager is hired and will resolve itself
