Put yourself in Kaila’s shoes. As a new CEO of an organization, you have recognized that designation of power has been an issue in the past. As a result, this is creating obstacles for you and your vision. Create a plan of action in an essay format of 300 to 500 words that you would use to regain control of the organization and employees, while still moving forward with a specific vision. In the plan, include:
How will you differentiate the daily duties between your roles as a manager and a leader? Provide clear separation of duties.
What are the sources of power within the organization and how does it determine the organizational structure?
Discuss how you will address the management issues present with the existing staff as well as the CFO and CIO.
Discuss a leadership style you will use to move the organization into a plan that will implement a shared network.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
TRANSITIONAL CARE Scenario Type of Care Provided Transitional care is a moderate-to long-term facility that focuses on therapy, wound care, and medical management of chronic diseases. Individuals within transitional care can range from low need or minimal care to individuals who are total care patients needing 24hr nursing assistance. These facilities are often known as Long-Term care, skilled nursing, or subacute rehab facilities. Scenario Kalia recently accepted the chief executive officer (CEO) position at a steadily declining transitional care organization. After meeting with the board of trustees, she was eager to demonstrate how her vision would change the direction of the failing company. Her hope was to discover allies within the company that could help make it easier to put her plan for the company into action. However, she soon found that her formal authority as CEO had been severely undermined by the pervious CEO, whose practice had been to distribute power within the organization, but had poorly managed those to whom he gave power. During Kalia’s first week, she arranged her schedule so that she could meet with administrative staff as soon as possible. During the meeting, Kalia requested budget information for each manager. None of the administrative staff were able to obtain the information for Kalia. They told her that company financial information was considered classified and could only be accessed through Manny, the chief financial officer (CFO) – the managers were not able to monitor their own budgets. One individual volunteered that sometimes the CFO’s administrative assistant would allow people to review reports, if the CFO was out and “she liked you.” After the meeting, Kalia went to Dominic, the chief information officer (CIO), to see if a centralized shared network could be created so employees could access important and sensitive data necessary for staff to make business decisions. Dominic informed her that the system was complicated, and that he was the only one familiar with how it was set up.
