TRACY'S V\|E\|C\|T\|O\|R LEADERSHIP® FREE-TRIAL PROBLEM SOLVER

My view of my leadership challenge

My colleagues' view
Tracy's having a leadership problem because we aren't ... delivering as promised on the Ace Online contract. But, we feel it's not resourced well; nor has anyone communicated (to us or our people) why it's a priority - particularly since the Ace people are always difficult. It's all too hard

My Action Commitments
1	Ask Fred and Mary to arrange a joint meeting of their teams early next week, so I can explain why Ace Online is so critical in the new markets we're entering; and, also provide background on the difficulties Ace is having and hence the pressure on their employees. Provide time for Q&A.
2	Discuss with our Exec. Committee whether I can obtain two part-time staff to assist with peak service loads in Fred's and Mary's areas. Meantime, starting Monday, arrange for Sylvia (from Accounts) and Bill (from IT) to provide training in use of the new client-service systems.
