Question

Organizations function when there is a collaboration between the top leaders, tactical leaders, operational leaders, and employee. This collaboration will ensure a good flow of information that is required for decision-making purposes. The top leaders in an organization comprise of the following.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for supporting us all then times. From now onwards, I am the new CEO who will work tirelessly to propel the company to greater heights. I am responsible for formulating a clear action plan that the company must follow to ensure the company objectives are achieved to ensure the growth of the company (Fitzgerald, et al.2014, p.1). I have to provide resources that will ensure that operations of the company are effective and efficient so that customers get the products that satisfy their tastes and preferences (Krause, et al.2014, p.270). Due to your continued support, I have more initiatives which the company will pursue to ensure you receive quality services from the company.

The initiatives include ensuring that the leaders in the organization cooperate to ensure all customer issues are addressed effectively. As the CEO, the company will also introduce designer labels in the fourth coming year to keep up with the current industry trends.  The company is also going to open an online store to facilitate e-commerce and ensure customers can purchase their products of choice from the comfort of their homes and offices. A big franchise partnership is also on the way. Let’s support each other. Thank you.

How are you doing? It feels good to see the people behind our success. I am the chief operating officer (COO) of this great company and I am in charge of all the retail store and responsible for ensuring that they operate effectively (Summers, 2014, P.70). I also ensure that the workers perform their roles so that the operations of the company can be effective. I am responsible for ensuring that the strategies formulated by the CEO are implemented (Nath, and Mahajan, 2008, P.67). I am also responsible for overseeing the workers of this companies to ensure that they execute their duties well. The other task I perform is to ensure that the initiatives undertaken by the company are in line with company culture and core values.

In the forthcoming year, initiatives that will help to improve employees’ engagement level by developing their career through training so that they can feel valued as perform their duties well to serve you well and improve the reputation of your company. The other initiative is to minimize the employee turnover which disrupts our operations and prevents us from delivering quality services by ensuring we hire the right employee for our company. Are you going to support us to ensure these initiatives are possible? Thank you.

How is everyone here? It is such an honor to meet you. I am the chief marketing officer (CMO) of your company. I am responsible for conducting product marketing to ensure you are aware of our new products in the market and where you can get our products from (Nath, and Mahajan, 2011, P.66). I also ensure that the adverts you see on your television and magazines are successful. I also ensure that our stores are strategically placed to ensure that you can access our products easily (Hirt, and Willmott, 2014, P.1). The other task I perform is to ensure that the products we offer you are fairly priced for the benefit of us all.

The initiatives I have in store for you is to ensure that I work hard to position our brand back to where it should because the sexual harassment claims in our stores and poor buying choices as reported by the media have affected our brand. The other initiative is to work with the coo to ensure the strategies formulated by our CEO are well implemented. There will be effective advertisements to ensure that customers are aware of our new stores, new products and even when we are giving you special offers and discounts.

How are you doing good customers and potential customers?  I am the chief people officer of this great company as the name suggests, my duties involve ensuring that people who work in our company are satisfied (Schuler, and Jackson, 2014, P.42). My responsibilities involve ensuring that workers perform the duties assigned to them effectively. I am also responsible for ensuring the company has effective human resources who can help the organization to achieve its objectives (Sheehan, et al.2014, p.200).

The initiatives that will propel the company to greater heights in the forthcoming year include introducing the performance management system that will ensure that employees are rewarded according to their performance. This will help to improve the employee engagement level which has gone down when compared to previous years. This will ensure that employees perform their duties effectively to be rewarded and this will improve the operations of the company. The other initiative is to train employees to improve their performance and this will help the company achieve its goals. Thank you for your time. God bless you.
