Robin Martin-Jones Final Analysis

Robin Martin-Jones 2
Description

In pursuing a career in financial services Robin Martin-Jones went on to start with a fortune 500 company after graduation. Her decision to join a larger firm seems to be motivated by the following, it would offer many opportunities in the way of career advancement. It subsequently leads to Robin being selected to continue in her studies in an MBA program, in which she excelled. Following these events, she seemed to be on track one promotion after another.

In further giving an overview or description, the one thing that is sometimes overlooked is there are dual responsibilities working in this case. Robin need to except her part in the downfall of this business relationship and not just blame the company. In the three year after coming back to work from family leave, a pattern was forming. She was passed over several times for promotion, Robin was slow in making her decision to part company with the firm, this left the company with the contention that she was content up until that point. He inability to effectively communicate with the company left her with no way out conclusion.

Diagnosis

Now with a little different perspective lets look at the diagnosis, it has been brought to my attention that the lack of action on Robins part on a consistent basis, in large part, helped her settle into her role that the company expected of her. Robins apathy or somewhat complacent concern, her dissatisfaction did not surface in full until she appeared to have taken enough and by that time there were very little options. So the final diagnosis is, Robin would have to move on to even have a chance of achieving her aspirations had been coming out of college.

    The firm has been merged with a larger firm carrying a similar product line of information technology consumer and industry products. One major goal of the merger was to save costs by eliminating duplication and improving management. Weeks before the merger, Lauren (not her real name) had just been promoted to project office director of the smaller firm. She assumed her position would be absorbed into the project office of the large firm. Mentally, Lauren was prepared to start job hunting. Maybe she should change careers and go back to a job that used her bachelor’s degree in political science. Two weeks after the merger was finalized, others, including herself, received a letter to report for an interview with the new company senior management “conversion” vice president. Lauren spent three days gathering materials to substantiate all of her past accomplishments, to demonstrate her management skills, and to show her potential value to the new firm. When the big day came, Lauren entered the office of the interviewer with approximately nine inches of substantiating material. She was prepared!…

Stress inducing encounters from other than her husband have led to a dissociative state, in which Robin will self-mutilate or attempt suicide without remembering doing so. Despite the ability to function adeptly at work and school, interpersonal relationship began to suffer from volatile and erratic behavior when she was in her teens. Few of those close to her understood why Robin will be happy one moment than overly emotional the next without any evident reason. Robin is presenting with Borderline Personality Disorder.…

    Kate Shalene has been a first-line supervisor for six months. She was proud of her new promotion, but surprised to discover she felt increasingly powerless. Instead of being a stepping stone, this position was feeling more and more like a dead end. Managers above her were about her age and the hoped-for company expansion never materialized. She was not a central part of the organization, and she felt no one ever noticed her unless she messed up.…
