Abstract

The leadership challenge to the organizational culture that is being examined is the transition from one store manager to another in a retail operation (bookstore) that is a store that is part of a larger corporate entity. A long-time leader of this particular store of the world's largest bookstore chain, Jean, has been replaced by Mark. Differences in management and leadership styles have resulted in varying degrees of team dysfunction. Coupled with economic challenges (such as decreased consumer spending which has lowered key variables like sales per hour, average amount per transaction and overall customer traffic, especially in the mornings) strategic leadership has not been occurring. Change for change's sake and a "putting out fires" aspect of crisis management has begun to predominate due to a lack of shared objectives. Collective effort is not fully rewarded and encouraged.
