The case of Thomas Green: Power, Office Politics, and a Career in Crisis depicts a complex set of issues involving an employee’s power dynamics, communication, and decision-making. The core problem is the poor communication and misunderstanding between Thomas Green, the newly promoted Senior Market Specialist from an account executive position (2), and Frank Davis, his boss, which led to a power struggle that threatened Green’s career. Green’s problems include his failure to manage expectations properly, his inability to adapt to the company’s culture, and his poor communication skills by not solving the problems at hand.
