You are a new leader replacing a long-term executive terminated for inappropriate behavior. You have a large team of over 500 employees and four supervisors who report directly to you. Morale is low, production is below expectations, and working standards are not being met. Respect for leadership is low, and trust of leaders is almost nonexistent. The company has a strong past performance record, yet the company has not met expectations in several quarters. The board of directors has submitted a few questions and requested responses from you and an explanation of your plans moving forward.

In your introduction, create a fictitious name for your company.

Do not use an existing company. Include background information-you make this up-such as the type of industry, location, and how long your company has been in business.

What leadership style will you employ to build respect and trust among employees and your direct reports? What behaviors will you employ to build morale?

How will you manage conflict that exists between departments and employees?

How will you train your direct reports to build relationships between team members and departments?

How does emotional intelligence fit into your plan to restore production and work standards?

What leadership and coaching strategies will you use for long-term results and developing future leaders?

As a conclusion, write a short synopsis of your vision for the future when your strategies are in place.
