Quote:
The family group is wanting to grow bigger crops.
The family needs more people to work the land.
One brother is a hopeless hunter.
He should develop farming skills.
The oldest brother should get
a mate, so there will be extra help.
The Aynshents – Case 1.1a, (p. 7)
What is the mission of the Aynshents?
What is the Anyshents’ greatest asset?
What are the human resources that are available to the Aynshents?
People and skillset (capabilities)
“Human resources are the “capabilities and the potential that people bring to work situations - capabilities that are strategically necessary for the continuation of the work enterprise in which those resources are deployed.”
How can these human resources be utilized to achieve the Aynshent’s goals?
Questions: (Parallels between Aynshents and Human Resource Management)
Sister asks brother to consider gardening
rather than hunting. He turns his back on her.
Sister assumes he is hurt, but the issue is deeper.
Why can she question his abilities?
The sister feels that she is simply trying to make things better.
Brother wants to do what he wants to do…hunt!
He looks for someone to agree with him.
