Poppa Pill, the original owner of Drugs Unlimited, has been running his generic drug
manufacturing operation since he started it in 1989. His most successful pharmaceutical is
what he calls the “life extender” which has been a very popular over-the-counter
product for decades. Poppa knows he’s getting on up in years, so he’s planning to develop a
new subsidiary called Head Cases. He wants to get it up and running smoothly before his
anticipated retirement in the year 2000. Since he won’t have time
to run both companies and still play squash four times a week, he’s decided he’ll have to find
someone to take over the leadership of Drugs Unlimited.
Before his wife died in 1930, she was managing the operations. However, because of her
dictatorial management style, turnover was always a problem. Since then Poppa has seen
sixteen VPs of operations come and go. He believes that the more successful ones seem to be
“people friendly” types, and notes that many seem to become more care-free and outgoing
once they learn a lot about the company products. The workers seemed to always be happy
and motivated, especially those working on the production lines. However, since the FDA
came in four years ago and tightened up specifications and record keeping, the workers are
starting to act like those found in most companies. Some say they want no supervision, others
want to know exactly what it is they are supposed to do, and a couple insist on being
managers themselves.
Poppa has retained you, an expert HR consultant, to help him establish effective leadership
for the organization. Therefore, he has contracted you at $1500 a day, to develop a leadership
development plan for identifying and training managers who can successfully lead the
company into the next century.
Your contract with Drugs Unlimited, Inc. specifies that you will:
1. Decide on what leadership approach(s) to implement.
2. Develop a plan to train managers.
3. Have the managers up to speed by the end of the year.
4. Make sure the plan won’t be a bitter pill for the line workers to have to swallow.

mengatakan bahwa pemimpin dilahirkan bukan diciptakan.

4. Agar rencana tidak laah merugikan para pekerja, kita harus menyesuaikan rencana
kita dengan keadaan para pekerja. Dan manager juga harus membuat rencana yang
baik yang melihat keuangan, kondisi, dan kesempatan perusahaan.
