The daughter could not see far in front of her and continued to play with her fingers. Although the old woman lived in this desolate spot with only her daughter and she had never seen Mr. Shiftlet before, she could tell, even from a distance, that he was a tramp and no one to be afraid of. His left coat sleeve was folded up to show there was only half an arm in it and his gaunt figure listed slightly to the side as if the breeze were pushing him.

Instructions

Project: Coaching

The course project will engage you in a real-world coaching experience. Under the supervision of your instructor and using the material learned in the course, you will coach a working professional who is not affiliated with this course. The individual may be a colleague, friend, or acquaintance but may not be a family member, supervisor, or your employee.

As a student coach, you will help your coachee determine a few professional development objectives that will be the focus of a four-week coaching relationship. Acceptable objectives include (but are not limited to): managing time, improving communication skills, setting goals, improving task completion, creating long-term career goals, identifying new areas of learning and skill development, and taking positive risks. Although in real life, most any personal or professional objective can be the topic in coaching, for the purposes of this exercise, you should guide your coachee towards work-related objectives to enhance your experience and professional skill. 

During the four-week coaching experience, you will lead the coachee through a process of weekly, one-hour sessions that will include brainstorming strategies, solutions, and actions designed to assist and support the coachee in meeting the professional development objectives. 

As a student coach, you will provide a weekly coaching report to the instructor in the form of a Microsoft Word document. Your coachee will provide an evaluation of your performance at the end of the course. 

All goals and objectives need to be approved in advance by the instructor. Your coachee must provide a written release and consent to participate in this project. (All applicable institutional review board [IRB] standards will be followed.) 

Week 1 Assignment 

For Week 1 of the Coaching Practicum, identify and recruit a suitable coaching partner. Submit a one- or two-paragraph statement that describes your coachee and evaluates why it is a suitable relationship for the project. You must also submit this consent form, signed by your coachee. (You may submit a scanned PDF document of the consent form.)

CASE: Nutriment’s New Hires

With the demand for more nutritional food options growing, Nutriment Biotech is positioned to become a leader in agricultural biotechnology. Nutriment is a start-up biotech company that is working to develop genetically engineered food crops that offer enhanced nutrition along with easier production for farmers. Emily Hart and Harold James established Nutriment as a research organization through national grant funding 5 years ago. Nutriment is one of only a few agricultural biotechnology companies focused on enhancing nutrition in food crops. The company currently has an edge over competitors as its research has led to some scientific discoveries that now position them to grow their company significantly. As a result, Nutriment is ready to start hiring staff to get operations started.

Emily and Harold have hired Jack Stewart, an HR management consultant, to help them determine how to hire the most talented staff to grow their business. Jack works mostly with start-up technology-based companies and plans to help Nutriment implement a recruiting and hiring plan and establish its preliminary HR management practices such as its pay structure.

Nutriment has secured additional funding to allow it to ramp up full operations quickly. An analysis of its projected workload suggests it will need to hire approximately 15 new employees to get started. It will need to hire not only 10 new scientists but also administrative staff members including a receptionist, an office manager, a lab manager, a marketing professional, and an accountant.

As an experienced recruiter, Jack is confident that he will be able to quickly identify strong candidates for the administrative staff positions. The current labor market works in Nutriment’s favor, and, therefore, Jack will be able to easily generate a pool of qualified applicants. The scientists, on the other hand, will be challenging to find as they need specific expertise related to agricultural biotechnology and genetic engineering. The number of scientists with this combination of skills is limited, and the scientists are in demand by competitors. However, Nutriment is located in a geographic area rich with research universities and other biotech firms, so Jack is confident that it can attract a good pool of talent if it is able to offer an opportunity that is attractive to the scientists.

To start the recruiting process, Jack must first establish a pay structure. Before he starts researching market rates, Jack plans to meet with Emily and Harold to establish pay level policies and discuss other strategic aspects of determining the compensation structure for the new employees. Nutriment must offer a pay package that will allow it to attract and retain both the administrative staff members and the scientists. Establishing the right pay practices will help ensure that the recruitment process allows it to put talent in place to position Nutriment for success.

Questions:

7-6. What are some strategic considerations in establishing a pay structure at Nutriment?

7-7. Should Jack suggest a pay policy to lead, lag, or match the market? Explain your recommendation.
