CASE STUDIES
- Developing a coaching process in the workplace to simplify task delegation and streamline work for entire team
Heather, an office manager, found her 'to do' list grow from barely manageable to out of control. There were others in her office who could probably help her with the work, but they either never felt inclined to take on additional tasks or were too busy themselves.
She tried to teach her employees and colleagues how to share some of her daily tasks but discovered a great deal of resistance. There was grumbling that no one was giving them any support and therefore they were being asked to do too much. Heather was in a bind. Should she let her performance slip, or was there something she could do to streamline and better manage the balance of tasks across EVERYONE in the office, including herself?
Heather turned to Role Analysis consultants for help.
- Social action research - non-profit organization where morale issues and an unfocused mission resulted in confusion and frustration among employees
Jim was an executive director of a small non-profit organization that had difficulty obtaining funding for its projects. As a result, he found it necessary to expand the organization's mission, which caused a good deal of confusion among his employees.
From his discussions with other non-profit executive directors, Jim thought an internal campaign to boost morale and focus efforts among its staff was necessary to retain employees and ensure the continued viability of the organization. He had heard that social action research projects could provide an interactive, tailored solution based on the creation of a learning organization while continually keeping communication channels available and open. Such projects have been galvanizing and effective for other organizations. Jim wanted to engage in a social action research project for his organization.
