Q4

Challenges faced by Swan

Swan had built the channel and had hired new people to manage various parts of the team. There was some tension between managers. Some of managers were new to the industry, some were from MTV and others were Nickelodeon. Unique styles and personalities became a challenge for Swan to manage. She faced the challenge of hiring interim leader in her place when she will go for her leaves.

Recommendation

In my opinion, Her health allowed her to continue as a leader at Latin America from New York. Due to her passion for business, brand enthusiasm, stronger and management style helped her create a mature, comprehensive and cross functional team to respond to her leadership style. In order to, reduce the risk of her pregnancy, Swan should be entrusted to the team as much as possible daily tasks. She has already begun this process, appointed her administrative assistant for communication "gatekeeper", Macarty offers her lecture hall. The team should continue to receive the team's daily updates, Nicks participated in a management meeting, as a higher level of strategy and leadership tasks.

To reduce the risk of the swan, due to the health of the sudden inability to work for the final delivery cannot be prepared, so the development of contingency plans and the training of potential temporary manager is essential. To improve her a direct report may cause tensions between her executive team members in the short term, but she should consider carefully and choose the successor to maintain a clear chain of command and Leadership continuity if she becomes incapacitated in the future. The best fit is most likely Steven Grieder because he is intimately familiar with the Latin American market and has the leadership style most like to Swan’s.

Their similar management style could smooth the transition for the team. Additionally, he possesses substantial creative drive and is the only person noted in the case to be trusted by Swan who recognizes his efficiency when she notes, “He was the best and that made the business best.” Of all the candidates, he is most likely to transition to a permanent leadership role at Nickelodeon Latin America team in the future, should the need arise. To reduce as far as disruption, the change in leadership could cause, Swan should socialize his major as heir with the rest of the team and business. In the meantime, working remotely and in a more limited capacity, Swan can continue to be the coach, cheerleader, and in short, the glue that holds the team together.
