SymChem: The Directive Approach

In this video the Director attempts to use the Directive style in order to remotivate his colleague. See how well it works. Kim Bailey leads ten senior engineers responsible for delivering the Xena-II Process Review Project. The line manager has called the first meeting to introduce himself and to discuss some immediate issues that have come to his attention about Xena-II. The Director of Operations has chosen to adopt a Directive style of leadership decision making to address the lack of progress with Xena-II. The viewer's task is to assess the merits of the Directive approach in light of how Kim Bailey presents himself and the challenge that lies ahead.
