given a paramount importance by the organization as the main goal is to
achieve the main contracting companies to produce buildings and design
them.
The Conflict
Elizabeth is an architect in Cityscape and she is the main manager who
appoints the jobs to different architects and divides the work into different
employees under her position. Elizabeth discusses the purpose and the type
of building required by the client's of the organization. As a job of an architect
is to produce floor plans and various designs of the building via sketches and
3D software such as CAD and AutoCAD which requires specific skills and
specialization to accomplish such duty and responsibility. An architect should
be a good sketcher, business person, organizer, planner and coordinator.
On the other hand, Charlie is the assistant architect working under Elizabeth
and his responsibilities are to check the dimensions of the buildings and all
the sketches required in well assembled presentation and perfect drawings.
Charlie is not a well organized person although he is a very skilled person
with substantial knowledge of sketching and drawing. However, the
responsibility of Charlie is to organize the design and assemble all the
drawings for printouts and the final assessment of the building and its design.
Elizabeth called Charlie and told him to collect all the drawings and printouts
of the building for correction and adjustments to the other architect. As
Charlie is not well organized person, some of the drawings were missing and
were not yet completed in AutoCAD. The files of AutoCAD were not
completed and the printouts were also not completed due to the late
submission of work to the photocopier.
As the drawings were unfinished and they were not rendered by the architect,
Elizabeth was outrage by the behavior of Charlie and was tensed about the
work to be accomplished on time. However, Elizabeth threatened Charlie
about the job and said that he may no longer work in the same position due to
unfinished and unorganized work by him. So she informed her higher
authorities about the incomplete work by Charlie and reported a complaint
against Charlie. As there were many other conflicts between Elizabeth and
Charlie as Elizabeth was jealous by Charlie's work and the sketches he used
to make and have different creative ideas of buildings and houses.
Elizabeth wanted to have revenge with Charlie as he had more innovative
ideas as compared to her while discussing different types of ideas in a team
work conference. Mostly the design of the buildings is considered if the
sketches and the idea of the person are more creative. If the creativity of both
architects is compared, Charlie must be given more importance as he has
more creative ideas. Also, Elizabeth had many historical problems with
Charlie which she also mentioned in her complaint to the higher authorities to
prove her point of view. Therefore, this complaint was discussed with the
higher authorities by the Human resource management. The manager
brought up the case forward and compared all the activities done by Charlie
and Elizabeth. Elizabeth had spreaded the story in the whole organization
and all the staff thought about the negativity of Charlie and what he has done
may put himself in many troubles.
