Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most effective way for Max to bring about the necessary changes is to set a clear consequence for employees who fail to comply with his instructions. By informing his employees that anyone who fails to follow instructions will be fired within two weeks, Max can effectively establish and enforce consequences for non-compliance. This can motivate employees to take their jobs seriously and follow instructions more closely, leading to better performance and higher productivity. The other choices either do not provide clear consequences or incentives for compliance, or do not address the issue of non-compliance at all.
