This week, you will be analyzing case studies using the concepts and principles you have learned in this class. You will need to choose three of the case studies below to analyze. For each case study, you will write a summary that provides the reader with the context and nature of the case being analyzed. Next, you will identify the problems presented in the case. Each case will have primary and secondary problems. Then, you will analyze the problem using a supervisory framework. Last, you will provide recommendations for the supervisor in each case study. The recommendations should clearly and logically address the problems identified.

Passed Over for Promotion

Louis clicked open his email, dread pooling in his stomach. The subject line confirmed his fears. Disappointment washed over him as he read, "Thank you for your interest in the promotion opportunity. While your application was strong, we ultimately selected a candidate whose experience more closely aligned with the position's requirements. We encourage you to review the feedback provided and consider reapplying in the future."

Slamming his laptop shut, Louis muttered, "Seriously? After all the extra effort I put in$?"$ Frustration gnawed at him. Ignoring his colleagues' concerned glances, he stormed out of the office.

A week passed, and Louis's anger hadn't subsided. He vented his disappointment to anyone who would listen. During team meetings, his negativity overshadowed everything else, affecting his colleagues' morale. Worried about Louis's behavior, his supervisor, Janet, decided to schedule a one$-$on$-$one lunch to discuss the situation.
