Assignment 1: Leadership Theories/Approach/StyleInstructionsProject One: Leadership Theories/Approach/StylePurpose:In the first assignment, students are given a scenario about Global Delivery Direct (GDD), a Norfolk,England medium-sized global delivery company that was started in 1968 by four college friends. .The purpose of this exercise is to see if you can identify the GDD leader in the potential candidatesthat will be hired to lead the new boutique services department.Outcome Met by Completing This Assignmentuse leadership theories, assessment tools, and an understanding of the role of ethics, values,and attitudes to evaluate and enhance personal leadership skillsBackground:Andrew Rockfish and the other owners have been looking for a competitive edge in the NorthAmerican market that will translate well to the other divisions. A recent meeting of the ownersresulted in the decision to target business organizations with custom services. The decision stemsfrom recent feedback from customers that revealed that for GDD to anticipate the needs of theirclients, suppliers and service vendors, the company needed to decrease the turnaround time indelivery and mailing of small packages and letters. Rockfish has decided to offer “boutique” servicesto its business customers. Catering to businesses will allow GDD to provide personal services thatFed Ex and UPS cannot offer. Customizing the services will allow GDD to increase prices whilecreating a new niche in the market. It was decided that the initial roll out of this idea would start in theUS where an imminent threat from competition lies. Rockfish was on board with this idea and begana campaign among the rest of the company to find ideas that would help to encourage the new‘Business First” strategic plan.In response, a sales manager from the mid-west sales team brought this idea from theirbrainstorming session for Rockfish’s consideration. The sales manager proposed creating severalmobile packing stores to bring customer service to businesses directly. GDD would not just pick upand deliver but they would also package. This model could be viewed as an UPS store on wheels.The team got the idea from a local delivery service that started a similar business as a Mail Store onWheels and it seemed to be doing well. The mail company has five “Mail on Wheels” trucks andfocuses on taking small business, not individuals away from the three local UPS and Kinko stores.After a financial review of the company, Rockfish decided to buy the business.The mail business was started by a young entrepreneur, Adrian Cheng, who ran the business with thephilosophy that “customers always get the best of our time and service”. Personal service,friendliness, and as much time as it takes to make the customer happy, was part of the missionstatement. Employees were casually dressed and had no deadlines except those given by thecustomer. Cheng had about 45 employees and ran both day and evening shifts. He had one vanthat was on call 24/7. Cheng oversaw the entire operation with two assistant managers, one for theday shift and one for the evening. Cheng does not want to stay on after the merger. Rockfishtherefore has decided to hire a new manager for the new service products they will offer.Rockfish has decided that you as a new management trainee might review some of the candidates
for the job and help him decide if the candidates have a leadership approach and style that will fit the21st century model that GDD is looking for in their leaders.Instructions:NOTE:All submitted work is to be your original work.
