To Kill A Bluebird Case Summary

496 Words2 Pages

1. Describe the types of conflict that seem to exist within the Bluebirds organization. What are the causes? So, in this situation presented in this chapter discussion, all three types of conflicts come about. The first one is a substantive conflict, because Russ isn’t performing as good as he should on the baseball team. He’s reserving his full potential, due to the fact that he feels under payed by Trudy. The personal conflict appears when Russ and Mickey don’t play well together on the field. Russ feels like it’s unfair that Mickey gets payed more to play than he does, so they take it out on the field and it shows with loses. Then finally procedural conflict erupts when both players are benched by Marty. He felt that neither deserved to be playing on the field because of their behavior. Trudy disagrees, she believes that they should be able to play because those are the two main players customers pay to see.
2. Is the situation characterized by functional or dysfunctional …show more content…

Describe the steps that you would take. The first step I would take to repair this team would be negotiating with Russ. He’s unhappy and that’s very important, because for your player to perform well they want to feel treated equal. Even if you don’t pay him the amount he wants, but he sees some sort of effort, I believe it would make a difference. Disruptive bargaining will definitely occur between Trudy and Marty as well. One will have to back down to other, and I believe it must be Trudy. She needs to recognize why she hired Marty in the first place. She should keep trust in him and his decisions, and if she doesn’t the team will see the tension there and lose trust in their owner, and management as well. After these issues are resolved, The Brooklyn Bluebirds should be a perfect example of coalition. Their common interest should be to win, and saving themselves from this losing streak they’ve had in the

  • Caged Birds Chapter Summary

    813 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States. As a continuation from the last chapter, there was a huge emphasis in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Geary Act of 1892. This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘

    Moreover, the performing phase taken at face value goes much further than to imply that a team is simply just playing the game. Any individual on a team can perform, but the success of a team is determined by its ability to perform efficiently as a group. This idea seemed to form the basic message that the “Building a Cohesive Team” video was attempted to construe. Further, the author of that video also stressed the importance of competent leadership and the role it serves in forming an effective and cohesive team. With respect to a sports team, leadership roles are quite diverse, albeit the head coach remains at the top of the chain.
