1 Create a plan for hiring staff for your new business. Assume that you will work full-time as the main manager, providing some front-desk coverage, giving some lessons, and managing most of the business. Assume that Nicole will also work full-time, heading up the vocal lessons area, marketing, and providing some front-desk coverage. Brian will lead the music technology lab development, outsourcing a fair amount of the work. He will also teach some of the rock band ensembles in the evenings or on weekends. Andres will help with marketing and give percussion instructions as his schedule allows. You will also need to hire a part-time receptionist to always have front-desk and phone coverage. You also need to hire several part-time instructors for all of the classes provided. Include job descriptions for all of the positions, salary/pay information, and a work schedule. Document your results in a four- to six-page paper.
2 Assume that the following has occurred since the project started: As usual, you ended up taking lead of this team, but you’re starting to get burned out. You are four months into the project. You are still working your full-time job, and your spouse has been complaining that you work too much and aren’t delegating enough. Nicole quit her telemarketing job to focus on this new business, and she is getting nervous about the business actually opening. Andres promised to get a big list of potential students and instructors to you for the past two months, but he still hasn’t delivered it. Brian thinks that he can set up the whole music technology lab instead of outsourcing it, as you planned. Write a two- to three-page paper describing how you would handle these challenges.
