Case Study:
Sheema and Hala both work for a Alosaimi groups in the marketing division. The general manager of the sales team interviewed and hired Sheema because of her experience and agreeable personality. Hala was interviewed by another sales leader but strongly opposed hiring her for the work because he thought she was not competent to do the job because she was fresher and friendly/talkative.
Six months after Sheema was hired, the manager left the company to start his own company and recommended that Sheema and Hala serve as joint leaders. Sheema agreed reluctantly with the demanded that it be made clear she was not working for Hala. The manager consented: Sheema and Hala were to share the same working area and have to work on the same project.
Within a week Sheema was angry because Hala was representing herself to others as the leader of the entire project and giving the impression that Sheema was working for her. Now Sheema and Hala are meeting with the manager to see if he can resolve the conflict between them.
Sheema says: Right after the joint leadership arrangement was reached with the manager, Hala called a meeting with other team members without even consulting me about the time or content. She just told me when it was being helped and said I should be there. At the meeting, Hala reviewed everyone’s duties line by line including mine treating me as just another team member working for her. She sends out a letter and signs herself as team lead, which implies to others that I am working for him.
Hala says: Sheema is all hung up with feelings of power and titles. Just because I sign myself as team doesn’t mean she is working for me. I don’t see anything to get excited about. What difference does it make/ She is too sensitive about everything. I call a meeting and right away she thinks I’m trying to run everything. Sheema has other things to do, other projects to run. So, she doesn’t pay too much attention to this one. She mostly lets things slide. But when I take the initiative to set up a meeting, she starts jumping up and down about how I am trying to make her work for me.
