Ali Nasser is the new content & media Manager at
the Museum of Heritage &
Arts. He is working on the biggest assignment of his career:
heading the event and
developing the website for the museum's forthcoming new show
"Images & Exhibits
of Medieval & Contemporary Oman." Ministry of Heritage is
underwriting
(guaranteeing payment in case of loss/damage) the exhibit, and
museum curator
(one who manages or oversees, as the administrative director of a
museum collection)
Basma Said has told Ali that the board of trustees is counting on
the exhibit's
success to open the door to more corporate support. "If that
happens we'll have a
shot at becoming a top-quality regional museum," Basma tells Ali.
"I don't have to
tell you how important that is to the board of trustees and your
career also. You
will have to put up more hours into this than ever before. If this
doesn’t succeed,
consider a cut of 20% of the payment terms."
Basma Said, Ali’s boss, represents the museum's administration and
board of
trustees. Along with Basma who oversees the team & Ali who
heads the team, the
project team for the website includes other members.
Salma Hassan is the site's designer. Bringing San Francisco settled
and educated
Salma onboard was a coup (achievement) for Ali. She has created
sites for several
world-class organizations bringing enormous amount of experience,
and she took
the museum job for a deeply discounted fee because of her ancestral
roots tied to
Oman and desire to give something back to the community. Firas
Ahmed, a history
professor at the local university, is the content expert on the
exhibit and the accompanying website. His specialty is the study of
Oman under modern
Renaissance and its influence on customs, arts, traditions and
architecture. His recent
book titled Oman: Glorious Past & Grand Future has earned
laurels. Khalid Omairi
is the corporate liaison officer of the Ministry of Heritage. He
has made it clear
that the Ministry is glad to support the museum and it expects to
be recognized for
doing so. "We would like this team to work on a big-scale project
in Salalah too
next year, if this turns out to be a success. Doing well in this
can help represent our
country at local, regional and international events, and this can
lead us to greater
heights" he told Ali. The team would be incomplete without Maitha
Riaz, the
Associate Director for Audience Engagement. Her chirpy, energetic
and dynamic
attribute keeps the team on a vibrant note always. Maitha can get
things done
quickly efficiently than anyone on the team. Moreover, with a
followership of
15.3K on her twitter account, she knows very clearly what the
community wants to
see with respect to the theme of the event. The project got off to
a good start. But
lately, several problems have developed. On a practical level, it
has proved
almost impossible to get all members to attend the last few
meetings. Because
Salma is based in San Francisco and Khalid's office schedule is
tight, it has been
difficult for both of them to squeeze in visits to the Museum for
meetings. In
addition, Ali knows that Basma had been eyeing for his position in
heading this
project for long time that has put him in a tight grip. Basma’s
dominating and
talkative attitude during their several meetings has demotivated
teamwork to an
extent. But Ali needs to get his game right, overcoming all the
obstacles to open
the doors to the event that would enthrall audience all over the
world and
embrace the cultural elements of his motherland. Therefore, he is
planning to
conduct more e-meetings with his team but is not sure about how
he’ll attain trust
amongst his team members.
Question: Choose any 5 member’s from the above case
study and mention what
type of power (ONE TYPE ONLY) each team member possesses in the
above
scenario. Cite reason(s) for your answer. Fill in your answers in
the table below.
The 5 members from the case study with their type of power are discussed as follows:
His power is because of his position as he represents the museum administration and board of trustees. Basma tells Ali that there will be a 20% cut on payment terms. He is using a threat to get his work done. He is forcing Ali to submit to his demands by creating fear of a cut in payment terms. He is using his power to push Ali and the team. His power is as long as he is in the position.

She is an associate director for audience engagement. She gets things done efficiently by her chirpy dynamic nature. She has a 15.3k followership on her twitter account. She knows what the community requires in terms of the theme of the event.
