This paper continues the saga of Ted’s leadership at Wine Lovers Enterprise. Therefore, students will use the first assignment as a basis for this assignment. However, students may elect to start anew with the case study provided to them.

You are to help Ted address his role as relationship builder. Interface the plan you have created in the leader vs. manager assignment with a plan for Ted’s need to address the potential threats to workforce harmony as well as his new business consultants. Emphasize his role as leader and what he can do to build his relationship with his employees so thathe empowers his managers and workforce to implement his vision for the company.

The goal of this paper is to have students link the concepts of Ted as a social architect, change agent, and individual to Ted as a relationship builder. Think of a relationship builder as a leader who aligns people to his or her vision. Again, students will write from the leader’s perspective.
