Team Leadership Presentation Project

During this course, you will complete weekly assignments involving the generation of portions of a presentation. These will be revised and combined to be turned in as your final Team Leadership Presentation Project in Week 7. However, please note this is not a group project, this work will be completed individually. Each week, you will respond to a different prompt as you compose a different piece of the presentation. Be sure to follow the instructions closely for each week's assignments. It will also be important to review your instructor feedback for each week's assignment, then incorporate the suggestions and changes into your final presentation.

Return to this content page as needed to familiarize yourself with the basic case details and general information on completing your weekly assignments, as well as to check your progress on the project.

Case Details

At Maygramson, Inc., the largest distributor of manufacturing products in North and South America, there are several divisions that operate in silos across the regions. The corporate office, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is comfortable allowing each major division to operate independently as long as the main tenets, philosophy, mission, vision, and values are upheld. Nevertheless, it has come to the attention of the corporate office that a specific location has had a challenging time being successful as compared to all others. This location has seen high turnover over the past 2-3 years although they offer competitive salaries and benefits. Research has been conducted and it does not appear to be an issue related to the location (a popular metropolitan city with a low cost of living and many opportunities for singles or families). This location is vital to the operations and logistics for many reasons and relocating is not an option. It is vital to the organization that this division remains in this location and that performance improves to fulfill their accounts

You have been brought into the organization to help increase performance. Upon initial discussions with leaders in the corporate office, there is a lack of cohesiveness (both task and social), minimal productivity, and general low morale. The intent to turnover seems disproportionately high at all levels of this location. The structure of this division is currently broken up into (1) Upper Management, (2) Middle Management, (3) Individual Contributors. There are currently no teams or structured workgroups within this division of roughly 150-200 employees. You have been granted full access to management and employees. Over the course of the next 7 weeks, you will present weekly updates to the Corporate Leadership team to update them on your progress and recommendations.
