Before and After Part 1—“Before”

As a student entering a management class you may be thinking that one day you will be promoted to a supervisor or a manager. Read over this case and thoroughly answer the questions at the end of the case. Please complete this task without the aid of your text, Internet, etc. Base your answers on how you would currently address the case.

At the end of the semester we revisit this case and you have the opportunity to rethink how you feel about the situation. This task is not graded until Part 2 or the “After” is completed at the end of the semester.

As you go through the semester think about this case and identify concepts in the text that support or disagree with your responses.

Directions: Download the assignment to your computer, complete the task and submit in Canvas as indicated on the syllabus. Please keep the case intact and just type your responses after each question. To earn full credit this task must be submitted on time. This task is accepted late with point deductions. This task must be completed to be able to complete Part 2 of the task at the end of the semester. As you type your answer under the question the area will expand. For now only the before space in the table will have an answer.

Case: Leadership: Rising from the Ranks

After working eight years as a staff nurse on a general medical/surgical unit, Julie Davis was appointed nurse manager of that unit. Following a staff meeting at which her promotion was announced, Julie found herself surrounded by three longtime coworkers offering their congratulations and making other observations and comments.

“I’m really happy for you,” said Sarah Johnson. “This sounds like a terrific career step. But I suppose this means our carpool is affected, since your hours are bound to be a lot less predictable from now on.”

Elaine Rowe said, “And I guess that shoots the lunch bunch, too. Management commitments, you know.” The emphasis on management was subtle though undeniable, and Julie was not at all sure that she was pleased with what she was hearing.

Jane Davidson offered, “Well, maybe now we can get some action on a few age-old problems. Remember, Julie, you used to gripe about these things as much as the rest of us.”

“We’ve all complained a lot,” Sarah agreed. “That’s been sort of a way of life around here.” The tone of her voice shaded toward a suggestion of coolness and her customary smile was absent when she added; “Now Julie’s going to be in a position where she can do something, so let’s hope she doesn’t forget who her friends are.”

Elaine and Jane looked quickly from Sarah to Julie. For an awkward 10 seconds or so nobody spoke. At last someone passing by said something to Julie, and as Julie turned to respond, Elaine, Jane, and Sarah went their separate ways.

Questions

1. Identify the possible advantages Julie might enjoy in becoming manager of a group of which she has long been a member.
Before	There are not too many advantages for Julie, but she atleast knows her group and their personalities so she does not have to get to know anyone. Elaine Jane and Sarah may work a little harder because they personally know there manager.
After
2. What are the possible disadvantages that might present themselves to Julie because she has long been a member of this group?
Before	Julie will have to learn how to keep her personal feelings aside and be able to manage those in her group. She will have to understand that although they are friends, there may be times she has to ask them to do things she may not want to or reprimand them if they are not doing something they are supposed to. They may expect her to be able to do certain things she does not have the authority to do.
After
3. If you were Julie, how do you believe your promotion would affect your relationships with your former coworkers?
Before	Sometimes working with friends they feel you will be a little leanient with them allowing them to get away with certain things. It is very hard for some to be able to delegate and make sure your friend is actually getting the job done.
After
4. Describe how you believe Julie will need to proceed in establishing herself as the legitimate possessor of supervisory authority on the unit.
Before	I think Julie should have a sit down with Elaine, Jane and Sarah and let them know because of her title she will not be able to do all the same things with them as before, but she can remain friends outside of work. She should let them know ahead that because she needs her job, if they are not working up to standards she will have to take action, write ups or verbal warnings.
After

Before and After “After”

At the beginning of the semester you were asked to complete this case study. It is now time to revisit the case. Assess your responses and see if you have any changes now that you are nearing the completion of the course. Thoroughly readdress the questions that you answered at the beginning of the semester. I’m hoping to see much more thought, assessment, and evaluation from your before answers. It is fine to repeat what you already said, just expand!

Your goal on the after is to support your reasoning with theory from the text. Your response can change or not change from your first answer, but Part 2 must include specific relationships to the text . You should use multiple chapters, multiple sections of the chapter and have multiple areas to support each question answer.

To complete this portion you will be reopening the before assignment that you submitted at the beginning of the semester. Under each response that you made for the before portion of the assignment indicate if you still agree with your response or have made a change. Evaluate your answer and think deeper about your response add content, remove or change your response. Then find supporting statements from the text (please more than one) for each question response. Support your additions with concepts from the text. Please quote the text and support the quote.

Directions: Please reopen the assignment that you submitted or use your saved assignment from the beginning of the semester and complete the After portion of the assignment. Your answers should be well thought out. Support and verify your answers with theory and concepts from multiple chapters, multiple sections of the chapter and multiple areas for each answer. Please be sure to include the page numbers that supports your response. Show how the text supports your answers. You should quote multiple chapters and multiples concepts.
