For this assignment you will take the role of Executive Coach with Kristen Peters as your client.  Many C Suite executives use Executive Coaches to help them improve their leadership skills, and to make plans for handling difficult situations.  For this activity we will assume that Kristen’s company has provided the Executive Coach to help her get started in her new role (“on boarding”). 

Your assignment is to write a briefing document (PPT) in which you address the following topics:

1. What should Kristen know about the organization?

2. What kind of culture should she expect?

3. Which are the key relationships and stakeholders for her specific work?

4. What five actions should she take when she starts to make sure she starts in a positive way?

Length will depend on the format and style that you choose.  I encourage robust pages, so that the document is not too long, but it is up to your judgement.

Grading will be based on:

1. Completeness (answer all questions completely) 10 points

2. Insights and analysis (demonstrating understanding of the concepts and situations, supporting ideas with class concepts and readings) 10 points

3. Communications (clarity of message, no errors, organization of content) 5 points

It is not important to overly design the document, but very important to cover items 1 & 2.
