Just-in-Time Company has had a longstanding culture of shared values including customer satisfaction, learning, respect, generosity, compassion, equality, and social justice.
The new CEO, Tina Jones, has worked long and hard in her career. She broke through the glass ceiling and earned the top seat in the company C-suite. Tina impressed the board of directors with her expertise, drive, and long list of accomplishments.
What the board did not discover, however, is that Tina's primary motivation is the advancement of herself and her career; she hopes to be at the helm of Just-in-Time only as long as necessary before she pursues a more prestigious position at a larger company. Tina's values are rapid career growth, money, status, public recognition, and earning a reputation as a no-nonsense, results-driven executive.
Begin your discussion by evaluating the issues you foresee with Tina as the new CEO.
- In particular, assess the role of values and motivation in the scenario by researching and applying one (or more) of the motivational theories surveyed above.
- What are some behaviors that Tina is likely to exhibit?
- What is the likely effect on the culture and climate of the organization?
Continue your discussion by analyzing the strategic leadership interventions that might be needed in this situation. Assume the role of consultant to recommend two interventions. Integrate the values and motivation concepts with the strategic leadership material that you have been studying in the course to formulate your recommendations. For example, what synergistic (shared) values do you see between her and the current organization that might be leveraged? Support your responses with rationale and with scholarly research.
The final paragraph of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
