Problem

So Carl scheduled an orientation to take place for the 15 employees on June 15th. Monica contacted Carl around May 15th to ensure that the process to get the orientation started was underway and Carl assured her that the orientation would be ready in time. Carl started working on the task to set up the orientation around the end of May and soon realized he didn’t have a room for the orientation to be held and the necessary paperwork was far from complete. He only had three manuals and all were missing pages and not one of the new employees was scheduled to get the required drug test. He had two weeks until the orientation was to be presented and suddenly realized he may have misinformed Monica on having the orientation ready in time.

    Some mistakes that may be made may have a major negative impact on the hospital, therefore it is pertinent for Blaze to ensure that he is using his time wisely. Issues/Solutions One issue that was apparent in this case was the number of meetings that Blaze was required to attend in one day. Although the majority of the meetings seemed to be short and strictly addressed the main topic, the meetings do take up a substantial amount of his time. Many of these meetings could have been delegated to a department manager, which would allow him to direct his time towards issues that can only be addressed by him, such as reviewing the hospitals objective to ensure that with the upcoming changes, it would still be met.

He was supposed to train me on how to build our e-mail servers and instruct me on how to install the entire standard monitoring software. This was not done. Instead he went through the process faster than even an experienced administer could possibly keep up. He would not slow down or wait for me or check with me to see if I was with him or not. We would have an issue with a server and rather than take this downtime as an opportunity to show and train me. He would just buzz through the resolution and not stop and say anything to the affect of “you might want to remember this.” I began to get very frustrated and felt very alienated.
