A. This case pointed out some nontraining needs. How would you deal with them? Why is this important? 



Non-training needs are an essential part of understanding where an organization is failing. It is apparent in this case that the supervisors had no proper training in the supervisory level. This is leading to complaints by employees, and customers. In order to deal with them, I as the owner first would have a meeting with all supervisors to explain the seriousness of the situation and the complete lack of professionalism that they are exhibiting.
