Question:
As the hotel manager who follows the human resources approach, I am trying to empower my staff to speak up and allow their voice to be heard (Eisenberg, Tretheway, LeGreco, Goodall Jr, 2017, pg.80). Giving that the chef would need space to manage his team on a day-to-day bases, I would allow the kitchen workers a comfortable first impression of me. I would also ask the chef to allow a follow-up of how the job is going every 6 months. This way I can gain awareness of any issues in the kitchen or further interest in the company (hotel or kitchen) that the chef might not have time to hear. If the chef is not already including any Theory Y approaches to his management style, I would strongly suggest he does. This would provide a less tense yet fully committed environment of workers who are more respectful, pro-active, and enjoy working (Eisenberg, Tretheway, LeGreco, Goodall Jr, 2017, pg.86). Provided that I am also managing the chef, I would unfortunately have to let him go if several issues start to surface as primarily his contribution to the toxic environment. If people are severely unhappy, that is only the start of further issues".
