Rex Justice is a long-term employee of the Carfax Corporation, and for the last several years he has been a supervisor in
the financial section of the firm. He is very loyal to Carfax and works hard to follow the company policies and procedures
and the orders of the managers above him. In fact, upper-level management thinks very highly of him; they can always
count on Rex to meet any sort of demand that the company places on him. He is valued and well-liked by all the top
managers. His employees in the financial section have the opposite opinion of Rex. They feel that he is too concerned with
pleasing the upper-level brass and not nearly concerned enough with the needs and concerns of the employees in his
department. For example, they feel that Rex never really pushes hard enough for a more substantial slice of the budget.
Relative to other departments in the company, they feel they are underpaid and overworked. Also, whenever one of them
goes to Rex with a new idea or suggestion for improvement, he always seems to have five reasons why it can’t be done.
There is considerable dissatisfaction in the department, and everyone thinks that Rex is just a puppet for management.
Performance has begun to suffer because of his style and leadership. Upper-level management seems to be oblivious to
the situation in the finance section.
