Please assist as a leader on the case study below: Ms Amahle Gumede was the manager of the Mbombela automotive factory, In Mpumalanga Province. In one of her vacations in Johannesburg, she undertook a short course in management and public relations, at one of the South African Higher Institutions. It then dawned upon her, that all these years she had been doing the wrong thing, by dealing only with the section heads under her. On her return to the factory, she was a new Amahle, she started having lunch in the Workers mess, she even smoked shisha with them and exchanged a few smutty jokes. Over a cup of tea, she told them a story of her life and many spicy episodes about the lives of the directors all in the interest of better public relations. She even joined them once, in ragging a foreman, who wore an oldfashioned coat and topi. Trouble started a few days later. There were thefts in the factory and absenteeism had increased. Further, there were four incidents of workers refusing to carry out the orders of their supervisors and three workers were found in a drunken state on the plant.
