Respond to the following case scenarios by applying theories from the group dynamic frame:
John had a great team, but one employee in particular just had a bad attitude. This was an employee John inherited when he became manager. This employee was always negative, did not act as part of a team, and was arrogant in every way. John talked to this employee to try and inspire and encourage (including documenting this verbal warning), but after a short period of time, the employee fell back into their usual ways. Only a few weeks after John spoke to the employee, a loud disagreement between this employee and another happened on the main floor. It was loud enough to have people stop in their tracks wondering what was happening. It was a bit of a shock to the employee with a bad attitude that a written warning was given, however, John made it perfectly known that this was not the first time they met because of this team-affecting behavior. John also was not quite as caring as he was at the first meeting. He took out the notes from the last meeting and went over what was discussed, including that a written warning would be given if the behavior continued. With this documentation, the employee had no choice but to accept the written warning (Adapted from SAGE business, 2018).
