Summary:

Snider Fleet Services was a medium-sized firm that provided tire retreading, truck fleet services, and off-road and industrial tires to customers in the Southeastern United States. This case tells the story of James Vasquez, a plant manager in the Houston retread operation, who was brought in to overcome production shortfalls. James succeeded in turning around production while significantly lowering costs. Under his leadership, the plant's teamwork and communications dramatically improved. At the same time, Snider underwent a cultural shift by adopting t-Factor, a purpose-driven, faith-based initiative. The new culture and James' leadership were tested when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, shutting production down and interrupting employees' lives. In this case, students will analyze James' leadership approach in the context of servant and transformational leadership and organizational trust. This case is suitable for use in undergraduate management and leadership classes.
