Hi Friends,
Let me take you through a case study.
This is about 4 employees: Radha (26 yrs/Engaged to Avinash/working/Ambitious), John (bachelor, 20 yrs old), Avinash (30 yrs old/Engaged to Radha, Dominating character), and Aslam (45 yr old/married and settled in life/superior in the org).
Avinash doesn't want Radha to be working at his level. John is a buddy to Radha but still is jealous of her achievements. Aslam feels women should not be working, kind of an ancient bugger.
The management makes a decision to move the supervisor out of the org and make one of the 4 as the new supervisor. Radha is chosen as the new supervisor.
The rest of the guys are not happy with her promotion.
Scenario - The business makes a profit of 10 crores every year. And last year it was 12 crores. Suddenly management says to her that she should make 10 crores in the next 2 quarters (6 months). Radha doesn't have any choice since if she doesn't make it, Avinash will be promoted in her place. And Avinash is so upset with Radha that he will ditch her if she fails then. Also, he is not happy to work under her as he is engaged to her.
Aslam is a senior guy and feels very bad to report to Radha, John is okay to report to Radha but has evil intentions in his mind about Radha.
What would you suggest Radha should she reach out to you for help??
Please suggest!!

As Radha has been chosen by the management as a supervisor, she can call on her colleagues for a get-together with lunch and discuss things in a friendly manner. This approach probably works well for mutual understanding, and she can gain their cooperation and coordination.

Avinash and Radha are engaged. Personal, emotional blackmail may work; she can approach Avinash for help. In any case, she is going to lose Avinash if she fails. So she has to take Avinash, even if she fails tomorrow. She can also put half the blame on Avinash.

Dear Friend,
Radha can promote Mr. Aslam for coordinating with others to get the best output from them because as a senior and experienced person, he would not only be a respectable individual but also may provide valuable inputs. Ms. Radha's role will be behind Mr. Aslam.

Hi,
Radha needs to resolve it diplomatically. She should try to get each one with her by supporting them in their role and giving them the credit for the same, may organise some unofficial dinner / lunch etc... First of all she should have her fiancée with her. I think this is the only way out.
thanx,
