Answer each question in paragraph format. Evaluate Career Situations What Would You Do? 1. The Planning Retreat It's been a bit over two years since your promotion to division manager. You're now accountable for delivering about 10% of your firm's total revenues, and oversee more than 100 people working in five different departments. This year you'd like to make the annual planning retreat really valuable to everyone. All managers from team leaders to functional heads will be present. You will have them off site for a full day. What goals will you state for the retreat in the e-mail you send out with the retreat agenda? Knowing the steps in the planning process, what will the retreat agenda look like, and why? 2. Sexual Harassment One of the persons under your supervision has a "possible" sexual harassment complaint about the behavior of a co- worker. She says that she understands the organization's sex- ual harassment policy, but the procedures are not clear. You're not clear, either, and take the matter to your boss. She tells you to draft a set of procedures that can be taken to top man- agement for approval. What procedures will you recommend so that sexual harassment complaints like this one can be dealt with in a fair way? 3. Getting "Buy In" A consulting firm has been hired to help write a strategic plan for your organization. The plan would be helpful, but you are worried about getting buy-in from all members, not just those at the top. What conditions can you set for the consultants so that they not only provide a solid strategic plan, but also cre- ate strong commitments to implementing it from members of your organization?
