Bill Young was new an all-around mechanic and electrician that were recently hired by the hospital. He had no supervisor experience at all, but he did have 15 years’ experience in at his craft. As soon as he was hired a maintenance helper position became available. Young asked Human resource for help on finding candidates for the job. Being that Young he had little experience interviewing, his chief supervisor officer decided to sit in on the interview to help out. There were 5 candidates for interviewing; and 2 who were qualified for the job. One person, Simmons, worked in food services with experience and was trying to improve or better himself. The other person, Kelly, did not have any previous experience but did work in building and grounds at a school. Jackson the chief supervisor decided to Hire Kelly, without very much thought and decided to communicate the job offer to Kelly personally. He told Young that he could do the hiring the next time. After weeks of no progression, Kelly was turning out to be a bad hire. Young went to Jackson to inform him that after all the training and benefit of a doubt that the hire Kelly was not going to work. Jackson told Young to fire Kelly even though he made the decision to hire him.
1) Do you believe that Jackson Dodged responsibility by ordering Young to get rid of Kelly? Why? Or why Not?
-Yes I do think that Jackson dodge the responsibility. He hired Kelly even though he asked Young to find a candidate and then he was too much of a coward to fire him. Usually if a manager does not want to deal with firing an employee they would refer hat employee to human resource. This is what Jackson should have suggested that young do. This is not show leadership. Young is a new supervisor and if he needed help hiring a new employee and of course he would need help letting an employee go for the first time.

2) In what other way
