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.
