Case Study
4.) Whom would you recommend to Dr. Francis as the selection for your position?
After careful consideration, I would recommend Marcia Rabin for the position of administrator for the department of surgery. It was a difficult decision, but I feel confident in my choice. There were several reasons I picked Marcia and to illustrate these reasons, I will explain and discuss why I disqualified the other three candidates.
When interviewing David O'Brien, I felt like he had the energy and drive to get the job done. However, because of the intensity of his drive, he would “rub people the wrong way”. This position requires a leader more so than simply a manager who can crank out the necessary figures. It requires interpersonal communication skills that I didn't feel that David possessed, at least not to the extent that this position requires. David is also currently enrolled in a Master's program and I feel he will benefit from continuing these classes to become multi-versed in all aspects of being an administrator. He's not ready right now, though.
When interviewing Sal Sorrentino, I liked his personality and his motivation want to change things for the better. However, I wasn't impressed with his overenthusiastic and sloppy way of initiating change. For a position of this magnitude, especially replacing someone like me, who has built the necessary relationships and connections to gather details from others before making final decisions. Sal leaps before he looks and that can be a definite issue within our organization. I did enjoy his questions the most of any of the candidates, as I felt he was genuinely interested in our organization and its goals and environment.
When interviewing Ronnie Goldsmith, I got the impression that she was a hard worker but that she does the minimum that is necessary in order to get home to her family. There is nothing wrong with being a young worker who enjoys separating work and life. I think that's a great asset and it is
