Read the article at the above link and share your thoughts on Jimmy’s management style, considering these questions:

1) Jimmy says, “There was a belief in our household that there’s a special place in hell for somebody who sits on a fence during a crisis.” What does he mean? How might that impact his management style?

If they can’t handle it, it isn’t written that these people must work here.” Is Jimmy creating a “nurturing” environment? Do you think he has high employee turnover at his company? Why or why not?

3) Could you work for a manager with the same characteristics as Jimmy? Why or why not?

4) Respond to another student’s post. Do you agree or disagree? Why
