Performance problem or challenge, Project Management

Assignment Help:

• You also found that over the past 6 months, the Senior Leadership had been very proactive in their attempt to drive a much different strategic vision and had communicated strong performance expectations for every Senior Leader and their respective functions. In the case of the Marketingfunction, it soon became clear to you that the former Vice President had not taken the corporate strategic mission and expectations seriously and that now in effect, Marketing was behind in driving and achieving that strategy.

• You also recently learned that your predecessor had been asked to leave. As you talked with the HR Partner you discovered that he had a long term affair with one of the regional directors, and that senior leadership had basically turned their head and not confronted that situation, until this past year when there relationship turned bad and she alleged sexual harassment.

• Although the culture of the organization in general and your organization appears to be one of "go along, get along", the more you have gotten to know the people in your organization, the stronger the message you have gotten that people are very unhappy and not very motivated, and in fact as the economy has started getting better, you have learned several of your key people are looking for other opportunities.

• You have one long-term Regional Director who is very strong willed and he has a track record of pretty much doing what he wants and clearly has not been very aligned with the corporate direction. From what others have told you, he intimated your predecessor, as well as others, and thus not only was not held accountable for results, but basically drove his own agenda in his region.

• In your most recent meeting with your boss, the CEO, he was very clear and very strong in his message to you - "get the marketing mess cleaned up and build a marketing strategy that will drive our business objectives - and do it quickly! - I must see a drastic change in performance from Marketing!"
