Chris,
Your assignment was clear and concise. You covered the required question with ease, and you made some validate points. I do agree with you cited “A major reaction to change is a feeling of losing control; what was assumed to be the norm now isn’t, and we are in an unknown land,” (Jicks, Peiperl, 2011, p. 341). When placed in a leadership position it becomes apparent that we have to be ready for change, however this doesn’t mean we have to agree with the change. We should make every effort to understand the intent behind the change. Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (King James Version).
When looking at Sherman situation closely you can see that she was fighting a war with unfamiliar terms. Because lawyers run the show, the outcome can vitally be affected by the public climate, the media, and the overall images of the companies involved (Ahlfeld, 1981).

I would advise the CEO that to better serve the company’s desire we would start with a strategic plan by setting goals and objectives. It would be best to elicit the opinions of every staff member on how they feel about the company’s goal. After listening to the staff opinions on how best to implement the goals, a plan is to be put in place detailing the steps by steps on how to achieve each tasks. I would emphasize to the CEO the importance of setting goals and communicating them effectively to the staff members, especially those who will be the managers. Additionally, the CEO is to consider the needs of each individual in the company. It is important to address both the task and the needs of the employees ( Phillips & Gully, 2014).

Hightower’s coming into an environment of high uncertainty with a high risk. Hightower should meet his managers individually and then follow-up with a group meeting that would be informal an “ice-breaker”, developing a top down strategy.

According to his article, “The Battle Against Fast Food Begins In The Home”, the author, columnist and blogger Daniel Weintraub, argues parents, not fast-food companies or the government are responsible for their child's health and well being. Weintraub supports this claim by providing data from the Center For Public Health Advocacy on the subject of overweight schoolchildren, State law recommendations outlining nutritional standards, and his own experience with the problem. Weintraub intends to convince or persuade the parents or parent to accept the blame for their overweight child. From my standpoint, however, it is clear the

During the Holocaust, Jewish people were submitted to the vilest and most inhumane conditions the world had ever seen. Their most basic freedoms were taken from them. At first, all they lost were items such as flour, eggs, sugar, and cocoa. Later, they were stripped of their land and businesses and separated according to their ability to be productive slaves to Hitler's Third Reich. Those that were deemed unfit were sent to slaughter houses. Entire families were torn apart, much like what happened to Gerda Weissman Klein's family. Despite watching her mother, father, and brother being taken from her, knowing that she would never see them again, she found the strength to survive three years in German labor camps through her family,

A sentiment common to almost any organization is that the one fact that remains constant is change. As society changes, and human understanding grows, any organization that maintains a static posture, assures its demise. Churches and Christian organizations are no exception. The gospel may remain the same, but the method for communicating it must speak to the audience to assure understanding. The Christian leader must be prepared to meet this challenge by incorporating an effective model for change into his theology of leadership in order to keep the ministry relevant and effective. Searching for such a change agent can prove to be challenging as well. To aid in this search, four

Then take that into account when creating the strategic plan. As for the expense levels growing out of control, I believe the company might need to switch form revenue based offices to profit based offices. This will take into account expenses a lot more, therefore gaining back more control of the expense levels. Of course it should create a comprehensive and well thought through plan that will take into account the objective of revenue growth. Again this should be integrated into the strategic plan. Moving on to the issue of lack of new leads and prospects, I believe the chart idea they suggested is a good idea, but maybe give the managers and the offices more freedom by using it how they feel is best and not having them report back everything to the founding partners. It should be at least a little decentralized, as everyone is use to now. As for the last issue I believe ACS should pay back the money they overcharged Powerhouse for, and tell them there was a mix-up by an employee and you’re terrible sorry and you have taken care of the problem. This way you won’t really lie, you prevent them from finding out some other way and keep your integrity. I believe this will work out for the best.
Whilst planning the teams work it is essential that the Manager makes use of peoples skills and knowledge to ensure their objectives and goals are achieved. An objective is “a specific result that a person or system aims to achieve within a time frame and with available resources” (WebFinance Inc., 2017) and a goal is “an observable and measurable end result having one or more objectives to be achieved within a more or less fixed timeframe” (WebFinance Inc., 2017). A goal defines the direction and destination, but the road to get there is accomplished by a series of objectives” (WebFinance Inc., 2017). Objectives should be SMART (see appendix 1) and targets should be allocated to team members to complement their existing knowledge and
1. Engage internal stakeholder; their point of view is unique to the department. When you sincerely consider their input and they see what an impact they can have on operations, then they will feel an ownership of the process and it will create credibility to any changes or new policies. 2. Create a strategy that represents the vision of the overall business but is flexible enough to be executed by all departments. This allows managers freedom to create unique solutions and innovations based on their own situation. “Decentralizing management is a good way to spark innovation and train corporate leaders” say William Weldon of Johnson & Johnson. He goes on to say, “it allows different people with different skills, different thoughts, to bring together different products and technologies to satisfy the unmet needs of the company or customer”.
