Background
GlobalTech is a mid-sized IT services company operating within a highly competitive and fast-

company embraces a diverse organisational culture. The management team led by CEO,
Emma Turner, is focused on fostering innovation and collaboration in an increasingly
globalised market. However, GlobalTech has recently encountered several challenges related to
employee satisfaction, namely workplace diversity, decision-making processes and team
dynamics, all of which require managerial intervention.

survey revealing that some employees feel disconnected from leadership and the company's
vision. The executive team is eager to explore how various aspects of OB such as leadership
styles, communication patterns, motivation strategies, and organisational culture impact the
company's overall effectiveness.
