The Wilson Company Case Study
The Wilson Company Case 2
Joy has recently acquired a new job with a manufacturing company, The Wilson Company. She had moved up the managerial ladder from a first line manager, to a middle manager position. This was a big step for Joy, however the magnitude of the change was bothering her. Not only did Joy step up a notch in the managerial world, she switched worlds from sales to manufacturing.

Joy’s mentor should help her work through the current issues she is having with the Wilson Company, maybe even including some training and development. A mentor will also help her decide whether or not she is suited for this particular job or industry. However it may play out she also has the right to acquire another job with another company if she decides this current situation is not for her. Joy does possess good managerial skills that need a little fine tuning with the core skills but otherwise she is in good condition to either evolve in her current position or consider
