1. Office Space is about three workers at a company who hate their jobs and decide to rebel against their greedy boss.  What type of supervisor is Bill Lumbergh?  Explain his personality, values, leadership style, and power. What behaviors are presented in the film to indicate that he is a good or bad supervisor? Present at least two good behaviors and two bad behaviors that are presented in the film.

how do some of the elements covered in your course material manifest themselves in the film (motivation, leadership, communication, teamwork)? What should the company do to promote effective communication between supervisors and employees? Is it likely that a lower-level employee (one of the three workers) will become an emerging leader in an informal group? 

Bearing in mind what has been covered so far in the course, what can a supervisor do to improve the working conditions (work environment, schedule, tasks, communication, etc.) of these employees?  On the other hand, what can the employee do to improve the conditions of his work?

How do employees' attitudes impact their job satisfaction? If you were one of these employees, do you stay in this type of organization for a long time?
