What Do We Do with Howard?
Agrigreen, Inc. has done a lot of moving employees from one position to another. Either someone chose to retire or step down, or they were promoted or transferred. Howard is a guy who obviously does not see himself the way others may see him. They simply have different perceptions. Howards seems like a man who tried his very best at one point.

Howard chose to shut down the lines of communication by staying away from those workers as much as possible. He did not want to be involved with them if he didn’t have to.

Taking into account the above mentioned justifications, I recommend the following solutions: 1. Howard needs to attend a regularly scheduled on-the- job training course. 2.

Organizations and individuals alike need to continuously work on their developmental skills. In addition to this they should work on researching new ways to improve themselves as well as the company goals. Involving Howard in such actions are expected to lead him toward becoming a more successful and appreciated employee. Allowing Howard to work on his interpersonal skills will help to better cope with the troubles that he has been experiencing on the job.
