DISCUSS THE STRATEGIES THAT EMMA USED TO SUCCEED IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ABOVE AS A TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER (SOURCE: FROM THE ALICE IN WONDERLAND CASE STUDY ATTACHED) This case study (Alice in Wonderland) told us about Emma van Nijmegen who was appointed to lead Luijk & Van Vaest (LVV) which its core business was the collection and distribution of goods and parcels (providing general logistics solution) to the customers. LVV was considered a typical male-dominated industry land transportation business and was completely new to Emma. I also understood that the situation in LVV prior to Emma was a rocky one and described as the management team was not a team at all. Staff were pushed to do work they didn’t believe in, working under pressure without trust in their management team. The LVV was very fossilized and hierarchical in the way it was run, and there was a huge communication gap between the head office and the regional offices. To make it even worse, people warned her that it was one great snakepit (highly political, no cooperation) and they thought she was a woman, too young, and don’t know the business, so how can she turn it around? However, Emma coming to the helms of affairs as the new Managing Director of LVV proved them wrong and sets a number of strategies decisions that transformed LVV from an unprofitable organization with a barley functioning management team to a very profitable market-focused organisation. Below are a number of strategies that she applied:1. Curiosity and desire to learn new and better ways of doing things from the bottom to the top, including from drivers and floormen.This could be seen from her first day at work as the New Managing Director of LVV, she started to meet with as many people of LVV as possible. She listened and talked to them, travelled round the country to all the local sub regions and sat down with the management teams. She made it clear that people could tell her everything what went wrong in the past, how they saw the future, and what should be changed. Emma needed to know what was going on in the company at all different levels. This could be seen on her first day when she joined the LVV package delivery driver Sjef de Koning, during his daily routine delivery duty. She was very curious, asking him questions about his daily routes, his customers, and what he thought of LVV. She also rode along with parcel delivery drivers for a day in different sectors, and to work with the parcel sorting personnel in the hubs and terminals. This was a great opportunity for her to learn what was important for them, how they looked at LVV, what they thought about the company, and how they saw their own lives interacting with the working environment. With this she really listened to them, and they in turn got the idea that they could tell her honestly about what worried them
