Running head: GUIDING COALITION 1
GUIDING COALTION RECOMMENDATION 2
Guiding Coalition Recommendations
Strategic planning is a critical point in national and international companies. There are various definitions of strategic planning by different authors, and the common point is that it is a process by which strategies are made, and efforts are made to achieve the goals and objectives. Strategic planning enables the managers to decide on a better team with influential team members to achieve the goals and objectives. The present discussion is to select a team effective to increase the sales of a potential drug. The drug is new, and it takes a lot to engage the new team in the sales and marketing of a new product.
Recommendation
Mirjam Nilsson is the organization's president, and she has been with the organization for many years. She has a beautiful personality. The purpose of mentioning her in the discussion is not to make her part of the team, but it means that she is head of the company and has to supervise the team throughout her tenure. It is better to involve her in the different aspects like the monitoring and supervision and the guiding person. She has the stamina to guide the employees to increase effective sales.
The first important member of the team to be involved is Satan. He is the human resource manager of the organization and is characterized as "a complacent member of human resources," Stan is usually the point of contact assigned to company-wide committees. Formerly he was involved in a workforce deployment change initiative, with a promotion seven years ago.
Rationale
It is risky to involve him in the team because his job satisfaction is low. He has been unsatisfied because of the few promotional opportunities in his eight-year span. The rationale would be to determine his abilities as a leader and to have the sales team is always linked with the HR team. The HR team has to decide the resources and assign important duties and responsibilities. He will report the matter to the VP of HR and lead the sales team with practical strategies to enhance sales. Their job satisfaction will increase as he is promoted to a new strategic product project. The critical factor is managing and evaluating his performance in the new project.
Chris is the organization's sales executive, passionate about his activities. He is one of the most important members of society as the sales executive essential to the team.
Rationale
He has the personality of observing business matters minutely and with great detail. He is known for "micromanaging," Chris has a realistic sense of his weaknesses and limitations. Chris led the integration of two prior acquisitions at another company and oversaw more than 150 sales reps worldwide. He has been with the organization for the last ten years, and his satisfaction level is two. The employees must be satisfied with the job because the companies are always trying to make the best opportunities for the employees. It is when the company has the opportunity to grab the employees' attention. Chris has Leslie as his team member, and he can engage her in sales-related activities as well. All these activities are essential for the company to sell the product because they can examine the market trends (Salas, 2018).
John Martensson is the third and most important person included in the team, and he is the manufacturing director. He knows the scientific background of the products, and he has fantastic experience dealing with different employees and making different drugs and other products. John is responsible for the scientific research behind the company's flagship oncology drug and "does not stop until the job is done.
Rationale
There is no reason to keep him away from the team because he knows how the drugs are made and what is the right time to introduce them to the market. He believes that the work should not be stopped because of the increasing competition and saturation in the market. In this current project, he knows how sales can be increased and how the customers can be engaged in effective team building. He has been attached to the team for the last twenty-two years and has four satisfaction levels. He has been promoted several times, and it is good to see him in the project. It is expected that he will play an essential role in the success of an organization.
Team Building Strategies
There are different team-building strategies in the organization, and they are as follows. Communication is an essential tool in the organization, and it is seen that if communication among the different departments does not occur, the company will be at risk. Communication among the team members helps the organization grow and increase its success. Three departments are added to the team, and all of them are experts in their duties. Combining all the teams in the project will help them communicate their ideas and grow professionally (Smith, 2018). There are other strategies to build an effective team like enhancement in growth, effective sales, better communication, and professional coordination. The goals and objectives will easily be met after the team building. It is important to mention that an effective team increases the chances of success several times. An ineffective team with a lack of coordination or communication is not suitable, and the product goes wasted. All these critical factors should be kept in mind while making the strategies for team building. In the current project, sales are the primary target, so the people in authority should focus on it (Lacerenza, 2018).
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is essential to mention that the team members are the strength of a company, and it cannot succeed without implementing specific strategies. It is seen in the discussion that certain employees were unsatisfied with the job, and the company has the opportunity to enhance satisfaction. The purpose was not only to look at the employees' choices, but multiple factors were necessary. The company needs to include the manufacturing, HR, and sales representative to increase their collaboration and coordination among the members.
