Ramesh and Gargi

Submitted by Group 10
Overview
Chrysalis Pharmaceuticals is a multinational drug manufacturer,
headquartered in Chennai.

Since the hiring of Gargi, Ramesh(Head L&D) feels subsided and undervalued.
Gargi has been an exceptional performer but Ramesh is not pleased by some
of her actions. He also finds out that upper management was overlooking
Gargi’s work. Ramesh has been severely affected, he has become insecure and
has lost his self confidence and felt undervalued.

● Main issue here is the gap of communication between Ramesh and other
members of the company
● First it happens when Kamla didn’t let Ramesh know about recruitment of
Gargi in the company and then Kamla’s not listening to Ramesh concerns
● Insecurity in part of Ramesh about his role and authority in team and
company
● Struggling in the teamwork as Gargi works independently even though
Ramesh told her about the organization culture

Suggestions

● Ramesh can try to make Gargi aware about what is bothering him
● He should be understanding and welcoming to accept the change and different approach of
work
● Instead of complaining, he could have directly gone to Gargi and give her the feedback
● He should focus more on the team’s win rather than just himself
● He should also go explaining the working environment of the team and the organization
