Babson Case Number: BAB082 | Length: 8 Pages

Abstract

Changes came hard at Stein, Bodello, & Associates, Inc., a consulting civil engineering firm employing 100 people in four branch offices. Following a move to a new location and an upgrading of the business and project management functions, some unhappiness had developed in the ranks of middle management.

This case concerns leadership and change but from a bottoms-up perspective. And looks at leadership through the eyes of subordinates, and focuses on the need to learn how to manage the boss.

The case is appropriate for use in undergraduate, graduate, and executive classes in human resource management.
