Product Details
Sam Doran is one of the youngest project managers at Rhino Software, a medium-size technology firm, and the first woman to be tasked with leading a team of her own. Since her promotion to project manager one year ago, she has been determined that she and her team will outperform the other project teams. And they have: members of her team have worked long hours, even sleeping in the office regularly. Their intense commitment earned Doran and her team praise at a company-wide meeting six months ago, when they were presented with the coveted Hustle Award and showcased as exemplary members of Rhino Software. Now, just as the due date for a major project is approaching, the team’s drive is slipping, and Doran’s top performer has checked himself into a mental health facility for depression and burnout. This fictional case is taught at Darden in an elective on Talent Management; it would also be suitable in a module on diversity and inclusion.
