- Summary:
- This case study presents a quandary as a store manager confronts a falsehood spreading throughout a department under his control. When occupying a position of authority over a workforce, managers must exercise power sparingly to maintain worker happiness, loyalty, and productivity. A key exception occurs when falsehoods amount to undermining or sabotaging a supervisor's leadership. The situation is complicated when the potential source of the rumor is identified as a close friend of the manager. Students are challenged to determine how the manager should respond without further eroding confidence in him.
