The most important thing Mike needed to achieve to ensure a smooth transition to using technologically advanced equipment at Trail Manufacturing was a sense of security within the company's employee infrastructure. In his haste to make such tremendous company changes occur virtually overnight, he failed to look at the broader scope where implementation was concerned and thereby forfeited his chance to move at a pace more agreeable with his workforce. Moreover, his inability to foresee the setbacks that ultimately caused much of Sandy and his team's defiance established a question of Mike's leadership ability. No bibliography.

The roots of a tree may not be visible under normal conditions yet if they are not tended to on a regular basis, this lack of attention will begin
to break down the trees very foundation. Soon, various problems begin to manifest in the form of overwhelming bottlenecks and the absence of knowledge how to relieve the perpetual
choking. Successful leaders recognize the fact that intrinsic motivation is, without question, one of the most powerful motivational factors with regard to the competitive edge, yet Mike has been
wholly unsuccessful when it comes to instilling this in his workforce. The first analysis by Chad Frost is most on target primarily because
of the caution he advises Mike to take when implementing such tremendous change. Indeed, his rush to install the equipment, provide training and expect turnaround product on a much
