Leadership Role (Please do not attempt to solve if you can not fulfill all the requirements)
Take a look at this (partial) dashboard for a fictitious company. Across the top is the progress made in the relevant areas; for example, the company has managed to achieve 66% of its goals for business development, is at 60% operational efficiency, not doing so well in business management, and so on. Beneath that in the other graphical images, you can see sales, service claims, and profits (YTD).
Though this is an incomplete look at the organization's position, I would like you to take one of the four types of leader roles from a previous reading, and apply the traits of that role to interpreting this dashboard. Your assignment will be to:
- identify the role you chose (My role is The Analyzer)
- apply an interpretation and recommendations of this dashboard based upon how a structualizer might think
- produce a 1 -2 Word page report that interprets the dashboard, makes recommendations for areas of improvement, and most importantly, explain why the role you chose would look at / interpret the dashboard from that viewpoint. I'm aware there is limited data here but do discuss what you see.
Note: there is no one correct answer to this assignment, but there are deficient answers, and excellent interpretations, and it is up to you to decide what the organization should do under your leadership as The Analyzer role.
