Case Study:
Aden works for a marketing firm in Cape Town, South Africa. He has worked for the company for over 10 years and is
exceptionally talented at his job. He has recently been promoted and now runs the marketing team for several the
company’s largest clients. Aden is a very direct individual and is extremely comfortable giving feedback even unsolicited.
During every team meeting, Aden is quick to shut down ideas and is known for giving harsh personal feedback during his
teams’ presentations. Although he is one of the most tenured, no one goes to him for help or advice because they fear he
will use it as an opportunity to point out every professional and personal flaw.
Since Aden was promoted to leading the marketing team, employee morale and productivity have dropped significantly.
It would seem as if the organisation which hired Aden seemed to be smart as they hired an exceptionally talented individual.
What do you think the organisation got wrong when they promoted Aden?
a. The organisation was not aware that Aden's personality would negatively affect the team's morale.
b. The organisation did not make the connection between personality and behaviour.
c. All of these.
