What could Joe do better to coordinate the work of his department?
I believe one of the main issues that Joe is facing is a communication issue between the departments. I
think that one option would be for him to have a meeting with all departments. If Joe can find out what
the main concerns are from each team and get their ideas this would make things easier on everyone.
He could find a solution to all the issues between the departments.
They could utilize the different departments and may cross train a few people from each team so that
they can understand different aspects of each job. I Think that each department needs to discuss the
issues that lay at hand. I believe if he can get each team to work together and have them fix the issues
between each team; I believe he will be able to get all the work done. Another option he could use is
guidelines for each team that he has to work with and help them navigate the exact process for their
part of the job. He should make one person a team leader for each department to break up the issues
for each team. I think maybe the team leader should have a chance to learn what the other teams do so
they have a better understanding of the other teams’ jobs. I think if this does occur it will help divide the
work out much better and the communication point on each team.
