1 EFFECTIVE LEADERS Aran Heath SM 3400 Applied Sports Management Indiana Institute of Technology February 18, 2024
2 I had the pleasure of interviewing a team member that I find to have effective leadership skills. I originally didn’t want him to know that I was interviewing him but I found that if I was honest with him I could get a straight answer and maybe to me he was a leader but his feelings may have been different. Your rookie crew seems to be developing well. Their need for direction and close supervision is diminishing. What would you do? Make sure things keep going well; continue to direct and oversee closely. He also stated that you have to give people some space to grow and know that they can reach out to you if they need more guidance. You assigned Jill a task, specifying exactly how you wanted it done. Jill deliberately ignored your directions and did it her way. The job will not meet the customer’s standards. This is not the first problem you’ve had with Jill. What do you decide to do? Discuss the problem and solutions to it. He stated that you can’t accept the fact that Jill is not listening to you. She needs to know that this is the final incident and the fact that her disrespect in not listening to his instructions reflects on her performance and the situation needs to change if she wishes to continue working for him. Your employees work well together and are a real team; the department is the top performer in the organization. Because of traffic problems, the president has approved staggered hours for departments. As a result, you can change your department’s hours. Several of your workers are in favor of changing. What action do you take? He stated conduct a meeting to get the group members’ ideas. Have them select new hours together, with your approval. The fact that the president is allowing the hours to be changed you must take in account how it will affect your team.
3 Bill, a new employee you hired, is not performing at the level expected after a month’s training. Bill is trying, but he seems to be a slow learner. What do you decide to do? Review task procedures and supervise Bill’s work closely. Everyone works at different levels, and you have to allow people to work at their own pace and level till they fill completely comfortable with the assignment and task. By reviewing with him daily he can see what difficulties he may be having. Helen has had an excellent performance record for the past five years. Recently you have noticed a drop in the quality and quantity of her work. She has a family problem. What do you do? Discuss the problem with Helen. Help her realize that her personal problem is affecting her work. Discuss ways to improve the situation. Be supportive and encourage her. You must let them know that you’re not trying to get into their business but to let them know that your concerned because whatever the problem is its effecting her at work and if there is anything you can do to help you will. Let them know that you have an open-door policy and anytime they need anything your there. And if they feel more comfortable discussing with HR (Human Resources) you can assist with that as well. Your organization does not allow smoking in certain areas. You just walked by a restricted area and saw Joan smoking. She has been with the organization for 10 years and is a very productive worker. Joan has never been caught smoking before. What action do you take? Tell her to put the cigarette out, watch her do it, and tell her you will check in on her in the future. He stated that he would also have to give her a verbal written warning. He states that he can’t just let it go just because she has been with the company so long. Actually these type of employees feel that they can’t be touched.
