Introduction:
Redman (2019) states that the world is changing quickly, change is hard, and many change efforts fail. A leader must have a good plan in place to navigate through these changes to stay successful. Now you will apply that knowledge to a company scenario, building an implementation plan into the process so it is actionable. Select one business from the current winners from any of the categories in the Great Places To Work list. Assume that you are the new CEO of this business who has goals of expanding your business. Depending on your choice, you can select one or more from the following list:
Expand nationally or internationally
Change your business offering(s) or target customers
Merger or acquisition
Another goal of your choice
For this 4- to 6-page APA-compliant paper (not including title and reference pages) respond to the following:
Section 1- Overview and Goal Description
Select the company that you will use for this paper. Provide an explanation and rationale for your choice. As there are many categories in the Great Places To Work site, you may want to explore an industry you know well or look to expand your knowledge by selecting an industry you are unfamiliar with for increased learning and knowledge building.
Describe the vision, mission, and values as individual components in the current state of the company. Explain the systems relationship of these elements, and how they are related to help the company achieve success.
Provide any additional background information (i.e., financials, primary products and services, etc.) to ensure the funding agency has an overview of the organization.
As the new CEO, identify the growth goal(s) you would like to achieve including a rationale for this choice(s).
Section 2- Vision Integration into Current State
Describe the current vision of the company. You may reuse the content from Section 1.
In your readings, you saw how a personal vision statement can be a foundation for creating a business venture and/or incorporation into the current vision of a company you will be leading. For this section, you will present a plan for how you would integrate your vision into what currently exists for the company you have selected for analysis. Support your thoughts with at least two sources from the readings, as well as two other sources you uncover in your research. For this section, you may use sources that are not considered scholarly as your additional sources.
Include in this section:
Your personal vision and process you used for your personal vision creation
A draft of your revised vision, incorporating your vision into the current company vision
The process you will use to involve all stakeholders in the new vision creation based on your draft. You may use both descriptive and graphic representation tools (i.e., flow chart) to present this process
The measurement process you will use to determine the effectiveness of your new vision on organizational success.
