Sample Solution

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was formally established in November 1999. WADA is the international organization created by the Sports Movement and Governments worldwide for the purpose of promoting, coordinating, and monitoring the global harmonized movement for doping-free sport, and to protect the rights of the clean athlete. Doping in sport results from a combination of individual, cultural, societal and physiological factors. Prevention of doping in sport must be based on a clear understanding of the complex nature of the problem and the comprehensive mix of strategies needed to address them successfully. The development of the Plan takes this into account. The Code provides the basic framework for WADA’s work: “To protect the Athletes’ fundamental right to participate in doping-free sport and thus promote health, fairness and equality for Athletes worldwide”; and “To ensure harmonized, coordinated and effective anti-doping programs at the international and national level with regard to detection, deterrence and prevention of doping”.

The CEO has demonstrated a lack of ability to communicate detail when unveiling a vision for the future of the organization. The CEO frequently discusses ideas for the future of the organization with the leadership team and has the ability to create excitement among the leaders about new ideas and projects. However, there is a lack of follow through and detail regarding how these objectives will be met. This includes failure to give deadlines for having elements of a project finished, so leadership does not have a timeline for achieving many of the objectives required in order to make the CEO’s vision a reality.

The CEO has a tendency to overlook the reality of a situation and ignore certain truths when they contradict an idea he has for how he would like the culture of the organization to be perceived. When there was an increase in patient falls on the units with the largest nurse and nursing assistant staffing shortage the CEO decided to put a process in place where the nurses for the patients had to go and explain the circumstances surrounding the fall and sign a corrective action plan and coaching form related to fall prevention. The issue of falls occurring because of not enough staff came up frequently during these meetings but the CEO instructed the leadership that the idea of staffing shortages creating unsafe working conditions for both patients and staff could not be supported or encouraged. This led to a culture where the staff felt that there input was not valued by the leadership team and was viewed as a contributing factor to continued staff turnover.
