Case Two: Human resource manager The head of human resource management of our company was leaving, and a replacement was needed. Li Tian, an associate professor at the university where I once worked was available, but not excited about the position. Leaving the security of his position in academia troubled him. I recommended him to the boss. The incentive for Li Tian was a 15,000 RMB increase,. Although he did not want to leave his first love, education, he hesitantly accepted the job. Just as Li Tian was beginning to get his feet wet at the new job, the vice directorship of the university's management department became available. Li Tian zoomed in. This was more of his cup of tea, and he wanted it. A very unhappy Li Tian confronted the boss. His arguments were compelling. He was an excellent educator. He had demonstrated this in his educational experience. Personally I also did not want an unhappy Li Tian. The boss manupulated the situation and played to Li Tian's ego, telling him, “ If you can find a replacement to do your job, we'll make the switch. With all my problems, I don't want to take care of human resource management or look for a human resource manager replacement.” It sounded reasonable, and Li Tian started interviewing, but he couldn't find a replacement. After all, who could do the job as well as Li Tian? He stayed on. Task: Study the case carefully and identify the key to the solution in it.
