Purpose:
The purpose of this project is to apply leadership concepts to a crisis leadership situation and to make recommendations for a crisis-ready culture.
The key to doing well in this assignment is to use course materials from all seven weeks. While there is a focus on Week 7 content, students are expected to apply the concepts learned from weeks 1 through 6 as well. Moreover, students are expected to apply examples from the case scenario to concepts learned from the course materials. Students will not need to use course materials outside of those provided in this classroom, so use of any other course materials should be highly discouraged.
A Snapshot of the Case and the Underlying Issues:
This case focuses on a crisis that was created because of poor leadership decisions and behaviors. The decisions made by Higgins created the problem, but at the core of this problem was the poor leadership of Brown. Higgins made a decision to purchase genetically modified Echinacea for short-term gain. She made this decision without consulting with anyone. But the crisis could have been prevented by Brown. Brown demonstrated:
- the wrong leadership style in giving Higgins free rein
- low emotional intelligence by not demonstrating control of his emotions and not managing conflict well
- that he was not an Authentic leader, in that he didn’t clearly communicate the values most important to him and to Biotech (the core values). Knowing that the core values would have possibly allowed Higgins to reframe her decision making (in other words she would have understood sustainability and customer-centricity come before short term profits). Moreover, Brown did not take ownership of the problem – another sign of an unauthentic leader.
Finally, this case demonstrates what can happen when culture, structure, and strategy do not align. After working through these leadership issues, students will provide recommendations to make Biotech crisis-ready.
