Action Taken:
-Leadership: Decision Making. You are the chairperson of a committee that is charged with recommending ways to improve interdepartmental communications. There are members-all managers-from the seven departments in the organization. You are basically providing no leadership. The group works well together, as it makes decisions by consensus. You have accepted a promotion, which requires you to transfer to a new location in one week; therefore, you can no longer be on the committee. You have been asked to select your replacement as chair of the committee. You really don't know who would want the position, and you believe that any one of the members would do a good job.
