You have just been appointed CEO of a new commerce platform company called "Bestinclass.com," which allows entrepreneurs to set up their own online store. Your team has developed new online technology that will simplify online sales for businesses and customers, resulting in faster delivery timelines. The key objective is to take 2% market share away from your main competitor, Shopify, by the end of Q1, 2023.

Your teams are very interdependent, often leading to intergroup conflict due to conflicting organizational priorities. Your organization comprises 100 employees working in software development, technology support, sales, marketing, administration, human resources, and financial operations.

The previous CEO was not very collaborative, and your employees were hesitant to share new ideas or communicate any problems. You suspect that your team is filtering information when they communicate with you because you only receive positive feedback about the pending launch of this groundbreaking project. You have heard that your employees think they should delay the technology launch for at least a month because it has not been thoroughly tested due to work overload. Additionally, the Finance team is not supportive of the cost investment, but they are hesitant to tell you because they are unsure of your reaction.

Your assignment is to create an inspiring PowerPoint presentation to introduce yourself to your employees. It should reflect your vision and include a reference to another organization whose values you align with and why. You can reference a leader or an organization from your textbook or any other organization/leader of your preference.

Your presentation should include key insights into your leadership style and decision-making process. Consider what insights you would like your employees to gain from your presentation.

Your presentation should be a maximum of 10 slides, including the cover page and references. Cover the following topics:

1. Your leadership style and philosophy, and how you expect your teams to work together to achieve great results (Chapters 12, 13).
2. Expectations of employees – communication style, team development, relationship building, conflict management, and your approach to decision-making (Chapters 8, 9, 10).
3. The organizational culture you hope to build and why (Chapter 14). Include a reference to an organization and/or a leader whose values resonate with you, highlighting which values you want to replicate and introduce within your organization and why.
4. The ethical standards by which you want everyone to abide.

Include all four sections above and integrate learnings from the textbook, class slides, online learning modules, and other sources. This assignment is worth 20% and should be posted on Blackboard by 11:59 PM EST on December 9th, 2022. A deduction of 2 points will be applied for each day posted after the due date.
