Nepotism
Mary Smith is the new administrative assistant and does not
seem to have the necessary skill sets to accurately and effectively perform her
duties. She is the daughter of one of the firm’s founders, and the other
employees are irate when they learn that she will be working for them. In the
first three (3) weeks of her employment, she has misfiled documents, been late
with her initial assignments, and fraternized frequently with specific
employees. She has already caused more problems than she has solved in just a
few weeks by this behavior.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Summarize the major problems that Mary Smith has caused
in her short tenure with the company.
2. From the perspective of her immediate supervisor, prepare
a job description that details the necessary tasks that Ms. Smith should
perform in her role as administrative assistant.
3. State the steps you would take to resolve this situation
if you were her supervisor and how you would or would not include the founder
in your communication.
4. Describe the negative and positive effects on a workforce
for hiring an unqualified individual who is related to a founder of the
company.
5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this
assignment. Note:
Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic
resources
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA .
Include a cover page containing the title of the
assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required
page length.
