My day as a leader- Today you have a problem

     On April 14th, my day as a leader was solving a problem. I was given the title of manager of a small paper airplane construction business and told to describe my culture and explain my plan for employee development.  My company, known as We fly high 4 you, was bidding for a major contract with the USAF. My employers consisted of two new employees starting today, one from MIT and the other a chemical engineer from a local college. I also had a veteran (2 years) employee with high competence, but little commitment and a somewhat new (6 months) employee with high commitment, but little competence.
     Our product was paper airplanes meant for all ages. Our paper airplane would be the best product because they would be made with sturdier paper that would make it unbreakable as it flew. We would also design our planes with cartoons and let them be available in different colors and designs. Our airplanes can be used as greeting cards also, containing messages to send to loved one or friends. Each month a different staff member will be in charge of creating that months paperplane design. These designs would be our main display for an entire month, with the selected employer in charge. This way I can let my employers know that I trust them, and everyone will become more competent at their job.
     As seeing that we would want to be the most successful company, we had to come up with a plan to spilt up the employers and amount of work.  Our veteran was in charge of production. Our veteran was the only one who knew how to make our products, however she had little commitment. I as the manger thought the best solution for her would be to show support. This employer had high competence and with a little motivation and support we were sure we could get her really committed. I as the manager also made her shift leader. Giving the veteran a leadership role to me was letting her know that we want her around and maybe with a little more responsibility and encouragement she would want to stick around also. The veteran worked with both new employers but mainly just oversaw production. I think this was the best option for the veteran because the veteran just needed the extra support. Some people are completely capable of being great employers  however, without the needed support they will not succeed.
       The somewhat new employee was our "go to guy." This employer was very dedicated to the company. He knew what had to be done and would always complete the task. However, he lacked leadership skills. It seemed as though he needed some type of direction.  I believed that he could create all our products quickly and put the required effort into each and every one. With constant practice, this can bring his competence skills up, bettering our company all together. To ensure everything will be running smoothly, I will hold weekly meetings updating my staff how we are doing as a whole and individually.
       The leadership challenge was tough at first. I wasn't sure how to gather up my teammates. I needed to figure out who exactly I was dealing with at first. Once I got to know my employers I automatically came up with ideas to help each employer. I delegated jobs and positions and completed the task at hand.s
