A Manufacturer with Human-Focused Leadership

Barry-Wehmiller, which earns annual revenues of $1.7 billion from a variety of manufacturing, technology, and consulting industries, takes the belief that leadership should be more about people than the supply chain. Barry-Wehmiller’s Guiding Principles of Leadership describes how it is a people-centered organization: “We measure success by the way we touch the lives of people.” The company believes leaders and companies need to learn how to care about the people that work for them, and not see them merely as “functions” to a corporate goal. For example, the company discontinued the use of timecards after discovering factory workers felt mistrusted because, unlike office workers, they could not make phone calls, get coffee, or perform other normal daily non-work tasks without punching in and out. The approach seems to have made a real difference. Whereas studies generally find that about 80 percent of employees feel their organizations do not care about them, an independent survey of Barry-Wehmiller employees found the exact opposite: 79 percent believed the company did care.

Why has Barry-Wehmiller’s “Truly Human Leadership” approach been successful?

Do you feel that this type of approach is suitable for a manufacturing company?

How do you think this approach contributes to the company’s success?

Examine the following case from Turner, Weickgenann, and Copeland, (2017): When a new employee is hired, the human resources department completes a personnel action form and forwards it to the payroll department. The form contains information such as pay rate, number of exemptions for tax purposes, and the type and amount of payroll deductions. When an employee is terminated or voluntarily separates from Rossi, the human resources department completes a personnel action form to indicate separation and forwards it to the payroll department. Each employee in the production department maintains his[/her] own time card weekly. Employees fill out their time cards in ink each day, and at the end of the week, the time cards are forwarded to the payroll department. Employees in the payroll department use the time cards and employee records to prepare a weekly paycheck for each employee who has turned in a time card. A copy of the payroll checks is forwarded to the accounts payable department, and the original payroll checks are forwarded to the cash disbursements department to be signed. The payroll department updates the payroll subsidiary ledger. After the paychecks are signed, they are given to department supervisors to distribute. Any unclaimed checks are returned to the payroll department. (p. 407) Perform analysis on the payroll process that examines the internal control strengths and weaknesses of the process; include a process map in your analysis. Provide suggested improvements for any weaknesses identified, taking into consideration how IT systems could benefit the processes described.

Jeff, the Director of Business Development, promised a promotion to Anne, his Assistant Regional Director, to become Regional Director when the old Regional Director was to leave her post in two weeks for another position outside the company. Jeff did not clear this decision with his boss Fred, the Vice President of Marketing before he made the promise to Anne. Jeff thought that it was within his authority to offer the position to Anne without first clearing it with Fred, or consulting human resources. The company was a fairly large developer of residential properties operating in 12 states in the southern United States. Thus, its human resources department was professionalized and balked at the arbitrariness of Jeff’s promise to appoint a person in a job without a fair and open hiring process, citing EEOC laws, and the backlash of regulatory consequences of such behavior. The brakes were put on the entire hiring process, and Anne did not get the job. An outside hire (Mary) eventually received the position. Anne quit immediately! Several projects had to be put on hold for several months until Mary could be brought up to speed, costing thousands of dollars. NO PARTICULAR BEHAVIORAL PATTERN

  1. What ethical theory can best explain this moral problem?
  2. Did Jeff violate an ethical standard or was he truly ignorant of the hiring process?
  3. Should Jeff be blamed for Anne’s resignation?
  4. Should there be any consequence or punishment for Jeff?
  5. Can Jeff’s promise to Anne be defended ethically?
