Hybara Casinos

Improved Essays
Kristen Hammersmith has been promoted to a managerial position by Tim O’Connell to fill the position which was once held by Alessandra. Tim has agreed on delivering a six weeks’ project in two weeks for the “Hybara Casinos”, client of Driscoll. After reading the HBR article “Is the Rookie Ready?” by Sarah Green, I believe Kristen should be given a chance to lead the “Hybara situation” given that Tim incorporates, manages and take care of setting in implementing the agenda to the whole group and practices the skills required for a good manager.
In this article, I think Tim is not an effective manager and leader as before taking up this project he should have discussed it with senior partners as well as the team involved to check for the time

    The new systems that were to be used by MSCC should have had input from all managers and when there was no help from the primary member Lassiter should have gone to higher management and explained the situation and what assistance he was receiving. Individuals took out their personal issues with the company instead of doing their job so they decided not to help or provide little assistance to get the system up and running. Based on the reading, talking and interacting with another member of the team were the major issues, disagreement started in the early stages regarding how member were to be trained on the systems, no updates on when or if the system was purchased. Lassiter passed off the project to Kovecki and Hedges because he did not believe he played a part after buying the software. Lassiter should have been provided with the status of the project and he should have made it clear to them when and how he wanted updates and it could have been through emails or meeting every two weeks (Brown, DeHayes, Hoffer, Martin, & Perkins, 2012).…
