Employer Case Summary Simon Rouse
Simon Rouse - Managing Director PeoplePlusUK
Mike: Welcome to Coventry University and for taking part in this collaboration. Can you start by telling us a bit about yourself, what you do, what is your experience in business, about what role you take and where does it fit in the business?
Simon: Sure, a pleasure to be here. I started out in banking, I joined Barclays as a graduate many, many years ago and did lot of different thigs with them, from leading a digital operation to leading their branch network across the country and in London. My time with Barclays has given me the skills and chance to lead large scales digital people, operations and businesses and I spend time at Santander, a Spanish company, a different culture, I was leading a national business there, delivering investment, international advice across the UK, and in the latter part of my career, I focused on public-private sector partnerships I did a number of years at Capita and now I work at People Plus. People Plus does 3 things: 16000 people across the UK who are helping transform people’s lives, we help people who are imprisoned and offer education for those who want to turn their lives around, we run a rehabilitation company, I help people that need access to carers to get those carers, we help people get long-term employment jobs for those who specialise to helping people start their own businesses and we deliver apprenticeships. From banking to making a big difference is my experience.
Mike: That’s great. That means you are very well experienced, and our next question is about leadership, how do you understand leadership on a team and company level?
Simon: I apply the same philosophy today in leading to the same when I started out regardless of the number of people in my team. I believe that people have a lot of potential and your job is to create the right climate and the right processes, environment for them to succeed to create a sense of what the future looks like as a vision, success what will feel like for them when they will get there. That’s how I approach things today: we have a statement of vision to make a difference in 1 million lives of people by 2022, we talk about the business and what the milestones of that journey will be, and I focus on the talent I need in order to achieve these goals, finding the best talent I can from outside the organisation and to bring them here and to find the best talent in the organisation and develop it. Leadership for me is about creating a clear view for people, create a climate for them to succeed in and let them get on with what they do best which is serving the clients we work with.
Mike: Right, that’s very interesting in terms of what students are looking at because we do a contrast between transformational and transactional leadership and that’s very much transformational. Are there times when transactional leadership works better?
Simon: There are times when you have bu ...

Reflective Writing Help Guide
Can you give me some examples of reflection?
· Reading and acting on your managers/peers/clients/tutors feedback on your work to improve it
· Keeping a learning journal in order to record changes in your practice/knowledge/skills.
· Keeping a record of your learning development via e.g. Pebblepad
What is reflective writing?
· much more than a description of facts or events
· critical writing, questioning different viewpoints, examining reasons
· a process through which you develop or change your opinions and/or your behaviour
How do I structure my written reflection?
There are many reflective writing models. One simple model is Rolfe’s (2001) What? So What? Now What? model.
1. What?
Report what happened, objectively without judgement or interpretation. Describe the facts and event(s) of an experience you have had. Some of the questions you might ask yourself are:
What happened?
What was my role in the situation?
What was I trying to achieve?
What actions did I take?
What was the response of others?
What feelings did it evoke in me and others?
What were the consequences (good and bad) about the experience?
This experience could be a seminar you attended, a team task in which you played a role, a work presentation you gave etc.
2. So What?
This is the level of analysis and evaluation when we look deeper at what was behind the experience. It helps you to understand what you have learnt from the experience. Some of the questions you might ask yourself are:
So what does this tell me?
So what was going through my mind when I acted?
So what did I base my actions on?
So what more do I need to know about this?
So what could/should I have done to make it better?
So what is my new understanding of the situation?
3. Now What?
This is the level of synthesis. Here you build on the previous levels to consider alternative courses of action and choose what you need to do next. Some of the questions you might ask yourself are:
Now what could I do to make things better?
Now what actions do I need to take?
Now what plans do I need to put into place?
Now what might be the consequences (long term and short term benefits/drawbacks) to you, your organisation and your colleagues of this action?
Now what might hold me back?
Now what realistic goals will I work towards?
The language of reflection
Here is a list of suggested reflective phrases you might like to use in your reflective writing:
After observation….
This comment tells me….
In this situation I should have…

Leading Four Generations in the Workplace - AICPA Global Manufacturing Confer...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
Presentation to the AICPA Global Manufacturing Conference in NOLA
The 'shift change' is underway as the retiring baby boom generation makes way for Generation X. The shift change is the transfer of the retiring baby boomers to the next generation of leaders that will be taking the helm in the next few years. This time what got you here won;t get you there. The incoming shift will require a new set of skills and tools to continue the work of the prior shift. This time it is different.
Generational issues in the workplace are one of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. This presentation covers the latest research and ideas to successfully lead 4 generations in the workplace. The latest research on the new skills needed in the modern workforce and how leadership has changed. Participants will learn new approaches to engaging the next generation of workers to connect and collaborate in a way that maximizes their discretionary effort.

NAME:_________________
Please respond to the following questions in essay format
1. A manufacturing company making small doll parts for a toy manufacturer is having difficulty getting their parts completed on time and the toy manufacturer is threatening to take their business to a competitor. The small parts company has had turnover lately and has needed to train new employees; this has been due to a freeze on wages as the manufacturing costs have increased. The wage freeze has caused longer term, well trained employees to leave the company in pursuit of companies hiring with higher wages. The company has old and outdated equipment and it is questionable whether the equipment is always safe to operate. The company has always manufactured very good parts, but lately has had some minor recalls due to some manufacturing mess ups.
You are one of a team of executive decision-makers trying to keep the business going and keep your customers satisfied. Using the above case scenario, please describe your approach to solving this situation using decision-making theory, motivational theory, goal setting theory, negotiating theory, and leadership theory.
2. You are working in a small accounting firm and have been there for 5 years. Two years ago, the firm hired a young man who had interned there as a student and it seemed, at the time, that he was a motivated, collaborative type of guy. Lately, though you have noticed that he is often sending emails to the managers about the work he is doing individually and not sharing all the work that the team as a whole has contributed that actually makes his individual work possible. Recently, you both were working with the same client as a team regarding some accounting issue that needed to be solved. You collaboratively came up with a solution and he emailed the client the solution. The client was thrilled and emailed your boss sharing how great the firm is and specifically mentioning this particular employee and not mentioning you or your contribution to this solution. You decide to talk to your colleague.
Describe the Social Information Processing Model and apply it to the above case as if you were EACH of the two people involved in the situation (what is each person’s perspective?):
· What is each person’s initial response based on the model?
· What will your action be and what principles of the model are you using?
3. You have been asked to work on a project with a team that is a cross-functional and cross-divisional team from the company, meaning that there are all levels being represented, high level managers to front line staff. You have been asked to facilitate the meetings and make sure that all opinions are being considered when the team finally makes its recommendations to the CEO. The following is a typical sample of the meeting that you just attended:

Using autoethnography in a qualitative research,
consider a resident of Sedgwick County, Colorado community to be the researcher of this study? Over the past 16 years, only two building permits for new housing construction have been issued in Sedgwick County, Colorado. This is consistent with the depopulation (particularly of younger persons) and economic diminution that is attributed to a declining rainfall since the 1970s. These are quantitative details. It is unclear how much of the depopulation was due to perceived opportunities elsewhere, to copycat or fad behavior, and to perceived change in local economic opportunity.
This is the only situation where the researcher can offer his/her own perspective as data for the study. How does the researcher guard against the limitations of his/her existing bias? How does he/she make sure that the data collected will be informative to a larger audience? [250 words, 2 references, 2 Intext Citations, Original Writings only]

Jennifer turned in her status report for the newly approved mailing activities. She feels that her pieces are on track with nothing for you to worry about. She reports the following information for the critical path tasks:
You review her status report and determine that Jennifer does not have a solid grasp of her status. Ben was unable to provide you with anything more than, “Things are moving along just fine.”
Using earned value measurements along with the other information and metrics available, determine the true status of Jennifer’s portion of the project.
Prepare an updated status report (1 page) for Jennifer and share the measurements and your rationale in your determination of the status for the project.
Create a 2–3 slide presentation explaining the benefits of using EVM.
Be sure to document some instructions (1-page document) for Jennifer and Ben for determining the project status for their next project update to you.
Also, provide materials that would be used to train Jennifer and Ben on the benefits and application of earned value.

Employer Case Summary Simon Rouse Simon Rouse - Managing Di.docx
1. Employer Case Summary Simon Rouse
Simon Rouse - Managing Director PeoplePlusUK
Mike: Welcome to Coventry University and for taking part in
this collaboration. Can you start by telling us a bit about
yourself, what you do, what is your experience in business,
about what role you take and where does it fit in the business?
Simon: Sure, a pleasure to be here. I started out in banking, I
joined Barclays as a graduate many, many years ago and did lot
of different thigs with them, from leading a digital operation to
leading their branch network across the country and in London.
My time with Barclays has given me the skills and chance to
lead large scales digital people, operations and businesses and I
spend time at Santander, a Spanish company, a different culture,
I was leading a national business there, delivering investment,
international advice across the UK, and in the latter part of my
career, I focused on public-private sector partnerships I did a
number of years at Capita and now I work at People Plus.
People Plus does 3 things: 16000 people across the UK who are
helping transform people’s lives, we help people who are
imprisoned and offer education for those who want to turn their
lives around, we run a rehabilitation company, I help people
that need access to carers to get those carers, we help people get
long-term employment jobs for those who specialise to helping
people start their own businesses and we deliver
apprenticeships. From banking to making a big difference is my
experience.
Mike: That’s great. That means you are very well experienced,
and our next question is about leadership, how do you
understand leadership on a team and company level?
Simon: I apply the same philosophy today in leading to the
same when I started out regardless of the number of people in
my team. I believe that people have a lot of potential and your
2. job is to create the right climate and the right processes,
environment for them to succeed to create a sense of what the
future looks like as a vision, success what will feel like for
them when they will get there. That’s how I approach things
today: we have a statement of vision to make a difference in 1
million lives of people by 2022, we talk about the business and
what the milestones of that journey will be, and I focus on the
talent I need in order to achieve these goals, finding the best
talent I can from outside the organisation and to bring them here
and to find the best talent in the organisation and develop it.
Leadership for me is about creating a clear view for people,
create a climate for them to succeed in and let them get on with
what they do best which is serving the clients we work with.
Mike: Right, that’s very interesting in terms of what students
are looking at because we do a contrast between
transformational and transactional leadership and that’s very
much transformational. Are there times when transactional
leadership works better?
Simon: There are times when you have businesses or team that
need refocusing. In my experience that has to be a short time in
order to get the business back on track, otherwise you end up
creating a climate that is very slow moving. The businesses I
have worked in have been successful have always looked up and
looked at the future and be clear with people about the values,
the culture in order to be successful. Rarely need you to get in
that level of transactional leadership, it has its place when an
underperforming business needs to go back on track and I don’t
think will last for long.
Mike: There is a contrast between leading 10 people and 16000,
I mean, the first one will be more personal than the second one,
and surely there must be an accountability chain in order to
work with larger numbers – can you comment on that?
Simon: I would argue that as a leader there shouldn’t be a
difference between leading 10 or 16000 people, you should
always operate with the same level of authenticity. I am
passionate about my team is that you have to create a sense of
3. dialogue with people and too often you need to find ways to
create dialogue with your team as it’s so much easier now with
the technics and methods to encourage that communication. I
spend a lot of time communicating, I have a weekly, every
Monday where I communicate with my team through email
where they can exchange ideas and thoughts with me. The style
of leadership is very important. With the accountability, as you
get to bigger organisations, you must create processes and ways
of making decision where you can delegate authority but it’s
about finding the right talent in order to do that because it
doesn’t matter how good your processes are if you haven’t got
the right people you are bound to do things that will fall down. I
am accountable to a board of directors, that board is a list of
PLC that clearly have given me a responsibility to deliver the
plan for my organisation over the 5 years that I set out and let
me got through it through monthly reports progress and I apply
the same processes for my businesses, it’s about what the
success looks like and get the right people in place to do it.
Mike: How have you found that people respond to change, are
there better ways of introducing people to change to people?
Simon: I’m sure many like leaders have made mistakes over the
time throughout change, I am leading my current organisation
through a lot of change and we are an industry that has been
built on very long public sector contracts that run out every
multiple years and the world is changing and we had to change
quite quickly and dramatically and that can be quiet unsettling
to people because suddenly the things they held as constants
and gave them comfort were taken away and it is a destabilising
things for them which is why I learnt that you always have to
start with the ‘why’. Going back to the communication and be
very clear about why we do what we do. With us being a profit-
making organisation but we make significant change every day
in the lives of people and the reason we want to change is to be
an organisation that is successful with more people and that has
a galvanising effect for people to understand why things are
changing. I talk a lot about the environment, with one of the
4. challenges you have to make them understand the outside wold
and what’s happening outside as this can be overlooked. You
can have very well-designed plans but when meeting the outside
world and it can have a devastating effect as some companies
are too focused on sticking with the plan and when reality hits
them it hurts them and if they don’t learn to adapt and change
they can fail.
Mike: In this day and age, to be more resilient and be more
agile is much more necessary now than in earlier times.
Simon: It’s because of the pace the world is changing it’s quiet
scary at the time and if you’re set out on a journey and you are
expected that in a few years the same plans you had done at the
beginning, you’re making a big mistake. 20 years ago that
could’ve been a possibility but not now even more with the
technology that we have.
Mike: It’s something that has to be imbedded with people that
this is going to happen, it is going to be nature of life.
Simon: Yes, and it comes back to communication, dialogue and
understand about the certain things that go within the
organisation and they will get comfortable with that level of
communication but you have to be prepared to explain
uncomfortable things to people but explain that where we are
aiming is a better place than where we are today.
Mike: One of the words we look at is communication and the
systems and can you talk a bit about how the decisions are done
and who makes them, how the communication is done.
Simon: It’s easy in this world to focus on the tool and not the
message and I advise that the best way to communicate is to
think what you want to communicate and then how it will be
delivered. The message is the one that matters and how it is
received. We use a wide variety of methods to communicate:
emails, intra-net, face to face and I think communication needs
to be adapted according to what needs to be communicated.
When needing to deliver transformational or change, a human
being is better to be seen and a face to face approach is better.
In terms of decision-making process, one of the things that I a
5. constant challenge for companies, even for big ones, is that they
need to struck a balance between good governance and good
decision-making. It’s a constant balance and to allow people
and leaders to be the way they are and to encourage them to
have a say. Banks are very regulated and strict, and it matters is
that you focus on the right decisions on the right level and a
constant message to my team is always check when you aren’t
sure what you’re doing and beg forgiveness if you fail and I
want people to feel empowered during the organisation. We
don’t do a lot of heavy steering groups or committees, but we
do reviews each month where the business understands the
talent, the progress. I believe that a successful organisation will
empower people and the culture of the business shows them that
if they need support they will be receiving it.
Mike: Next question is about the future, how do you see the
future in your business area and could you frame this is terms of
internal/external threats, opportunities for your business.
Simon: My industry is going through a lot of change and my
business is and when I joined the company there was a strategy
that was seeking new contracts and we’ve reoriented the
business to focus on the macro on the market place. The
opportunities that we are focused on as an organisation are 5
macro trends?: UK productivity challenge, demand in health and
social care, increased devolving of accountability to devolve
government and to local moralities to drive localised agendas,
increased focus on rehabilitative justice system, increased level
of employers on health and wellbeing. We are thinking on how
to approach those trends and to include them in our business.
We see a real opportunity for us to grow in those areas. A big
challenge for all organisations is the use of technologies and for
those who haven’t really traditionally used technology as part of
their business. One way you can make a change in prisons is by
using technology and we put a TV in a prison that connects to
an Open University channel.
Mike: You are expecting that in 10 years’ time the prison
system will be very different.
6. Simon: Yes. Prisons environments will be technology
environments, but they are changing environments and need to
be much more innovative and creative about the ways which you
do it. I think the big threat to our sector is there is an
environment where private sector organisations working with
the public sector and we have a lot of political challenge and
then we have to think very carefully about our values as an
organisation and what are the other ways which we can
demonstrate that we add to the greater good society as opposed
to being just a profit making organisation.
Mike: In terms of political challenge, you mean private
organisations may have different objectives and measures of
success and linking those to the public sector organisations is
not an easy mix.
Simon: There is a political threat about the private
organisations working in public sector is not a good thing. I
think it’s our job how we demonstrate the greater value that we
can add, we have a whole list of different ways in which we do
that but that is definitely one of the threats to our sector and
organisation. The final dimension to it is that there is a sector
under a lot of pressure and thinking about how to grow in this is
a key strategy for us.
Mike: We have another question here, it’s about the
international dimension, is it possible to comment on the
cultural differences, approaches that need to be used when
working with people from different places in the world?
Simon: I have been fortunate in my career to work in 2 global
businesses, Barclays and Santander, and when I worked at
Barclays it was a very strong American leadership and I enjoyed
the culture and you have to spend some time in order to
understand the differences and the way they are. When I worked
at Santander, I learned Spanish business values that are
different to the British ones and learning how to adapt and deal
with that is very important. I think that if you want to work in
organisations that want to trade with the rest of the world, is
exciting to be in these environments because there is a lot of
7. creative development comes from these cultures when together
and it does require you to take a step back and understand
where people are coming from, language can be a barrier.
Mike: Could you give a question for our students to focus on
when writing their assignment?
Simon: Given the strategic environment which people are
looking to grow and operate how would you lead the
organisation through that change?
Mike: Thank you very much.
Simon: My pleasure.
