Question 1
Case Study:

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.

productivity have dropped significantly.
