Introduction
Group 1 started working on succession planning for LSN to hire or promote few leadership positions as the company intends to expand, the acquisition for leadership role had two orients, first promote internal staff second hire from outside. Group 1 started working on establishing job
descriptions for the identified leadership roles to do this the team split the work among individuals and everyone accomplished their parts, the team reviewed the final document and one member submitted the final paper, the same process was followed for part two.
After reading the assignment description the succession committee knew that the company already showed interest in promoting internal staff for future leadership positions rather
than the director of finance who will be hired from outside of the company, which will be discussed hereunder.
Life Science Nutraceuticals, Inc. (LSN), a rising star in the health and wellness sector, will soon undergo a transition. Five existing workers have been granted interviews for the roles that will become available in the following 24 months. These are the suggestions that are being put out for consideration by the company's succession committee: Marge Simpson - Sales Director for Middle East Mohammad Darvish - Director of Research and Development
Rafael Mendez - VP Headquarters Operations
Jackie Johnson - Executive Director for North America Division
And Director of Finance needs to be filled by an external candidate.
Recommendations
Marge Simpson is being recommended for the position of Sales Director, Middle East. The succession committee thinks that Ms. Simpson's capacity to come up with novel answers to
2
challenges as they emerge would make her a valuable asset in this role. Her experience as a nurse helps her better understand her clients, which is useful when making sales. She has demonstrated a desire to pick up new skills in order to get to know her clients better. Marge Simpson understands the value of family and that clients want to be treated as such, and she has demonstrated the capacity to lead the growth that comes with her position. The situational and transformational leadership philosophies of Ms. Simpson will be advantageous in this role. She possesses the leadership qualities of creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. The position will be a task to undertake in the Middle East since most women do not hold leadership positions
but the committee believes that Ms. Simpson will thrive with her knowledge of the Muslim community and cultures that are prominent in the Middle East.
The succession committee is recommending Mohammad Darvish for the position of Director of Research and Development. Mr. Darvish's willingness to take chances demonstrates his readiness to use trial and error to improve the business when needed. Mr. Darvish has all of the leadership qualities that a director of research and development requires, including the ability
to take calculated risks, communicate clearly, and be a quick learner (SHRM, 2008, para 4). Since the performance of the research and development department depends on a wide range of factors, Mohammad Darvish's leadership style, which is based on contingency theories, would be
a suitable fit for this department (Malos, n.d., p 416). Additionally, Mr. Darvish comes highly recommended due to his capacity to interact with clients and ascertain their demands, which paves the way for the potential development and release of superior items. Because of his experience in homeopathy, Mohammad Darvish appreciates the company's global expansion and acknowledges that various nations and areas have distinct needs and demands when it comes to health goods. The research and development department will benefit greatly from Mr. Darvish's

JENNIFER REINGOLD SAMPLES A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MANAGER
The lightning bolt wasn't a great sign. My first day on the job, and I was already losing control: A string of emails demanded split-second decisions for problems I had only just heard about; needed to pull together a business-plan presentation for a product had never laid eyes on, a rabid reporter lurked outside my door. Then, the single, jagged fl ash shot across my window. I gulped my Diet Dr Pepper. Maybe I wasn't meant to be an executive after all.
Not that I ever really thought I was. Sure, I've been covering management and leadership for 10 years, lambasting and lionizing executives, dismissing their best-laid plans with a few cutting words and anointing their successors with a few sparkling ones. But my actual experience with leading and managing has remained largely theoretical. Ironic? Sure, but I liked that.
