Introduction

A case study analysis requires that you investigate a business problem, examine the possible and/or alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence.

• Read and examine the case carefully.
• Focus on the issues/problems.
• Brainstorm possible solutions or changes that need to be made.
• Select the best solution with reasoning.

UNIT LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Evaluate the role of developing skills to be an effective leader (CLO 2).
• Recognize how to apply conceptual skills when facing challenges (CLO 5).
• Identify how to utilize your strengths and the strengths of others to build a more effective team (CLO 4 and CLO 6).

CASE SUMMARY – 6.2 THE STRENGTH TO STAND OUT

• • • This case study provides a biography of Sociologist Dr. Brene Brown, research professor, speaker, and author, who studies difficult topics such as shame, vulnerability, courage, and empathy. Brene had moved several times as a child, moving from New Orleans to Houston to Washington D.C. and back to Houston. Moving as much as she did made her feel separate from others and when the marriage of her parents disintegrated, she even felt more alone. Brown believed though that her coping mechanism was studying people and understanding and recognizing the behavior patterns of others.Brown did not follow the traditional path to college; she traveled across Europe, engaged in self-destructive behaviors, and after having dropped out of college earlier, she graduated at 29 with a bachelor’s degree in social work. She became interested in qualitative research and the notion of grounded theory, and decided to study the topic of shame, despite the lack of support from her mentors.Brene eventually became a professor at the University of Houston, and instead of presenting her research in a traditional, peer-reviewed manner, she instead wanted to present her findings in a more mainstream manner. She self-published her first book and received enough recognition to attract a well-known publisher who would eventually republish it and continue her career. She is now a well-known speaker earning up to $100,000 per engagement and continues to present herself and her mission in her own form and her own way.
