Person fit (prsn_fit)
Read the Harvard case, Lisa Benton (A). Focus on person fit concepts.
Diagnose the problem. Consider these questions:
Did Lisa Benton perform proper “due diligence” in deciding between working at Right-Away Stores and Houseworld? What were her priorities?
How good is the fit between (a) Lisa Benton and (b) the position and organization? Between Benton and her supervisor? Her associates? Her work group?
How good is the fit between who she wants to be and the learning opportunities the position affords?
How might she have done some things differently?
How might Houseworld have done things differently and should do in the future?
Action planning: What should she do now, specifically? What should Houseworld do differently, specifically?
What recommendations do you propose?
Length of paper: 8-10 pages, Times New Romans 12pt; double-spaced
DIRECTION: Approach this report as if you are an outside consultant hired to analyze what happened at Houseworld and make six (6) actionable and S.M.A.R.T. recommendations: 3 specifically for Lisa Benton, and 3 specifically for Houseworld
