If I was the CEO of Wigs 4 Kids for a day, I would
change only one thing. The kids absolutely love the program and don’t want
anything to change, and I agree (when it comes to the kids). My change would
take place within administration.
The current CEO of Wigs 4 Kids is very involved with
what goes on in every department. Every single project- whether it’s as simple
as stuffing envelopes or as complicated as e-mailing corporate sponsors making
an appeal for funding- must go through her first before completion.
This became very frustrating for me on more than one
occasion. Whenever the CEO steps out of the office for a few hours or is in a
meeting, all work that must go through her must be put on hold until she’s
finished. In the meantime, other projects must then begin and continue until
her approval is needed, and then that project must pause. It’s very frustrating
to have 4 hours go by but not have any feelings of accomplishment.
Therefore, if I was the CEO of Wigs 4 Kids for a day,
I would put more trust in my employees. I know that everyone on staff is
capable of making the correct decisions, so I would not micro-manage all of
their tasks. I think that this would increase productivity in the office, and
since there are many projects that need to be completed each day, that would be
important. Of course, I would make sure that the quality of each project is
still high, but I think that more would get done if the staff was allowed to
make their own decisions and judgments.
I can definitely relate to this post. Many times throughout my day, I wouldn't be able to find my boss, and he was the only one who gave us work. I wish he was either in the office more, was giving me more to work on, or other people I could report to!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great idea that will allow interns the ability to have some more freedom in their daily activities. This, I'm sure, would help the company greatly!
