Scenario
Scenario Summary
The state legislature recently
approved a prison expansion bill that calls for increased staffing for all
levels of prison facilities within the state. The greatest allocation of
funding is to go toward hiring additional correctional officers for the maximum-security
prison where you are employed as a senior administrator. The promotional
process is nearly completed, and you have been handed assessments on the final
three candidates for the position. This was a difficult process, as there were
many eligible candidates who applied. Nonetheless, the committee responsible
for the preliminary interviews has narrowed the field and has now submitted its
recommendations.
Your Assignment
This promotional opportunity is
in response to a state funding decision to increase staffing by 15% at your
prison, a decision that mandates the hiring of 50 new correctional officers
within the next budget fiscal year. As an upper level administrator responsible
for the final decision on this promotional opportunity, you are tasked with the
responsibility of selecting one of three final candidates for the position of
first line supervisor. Under other circumstances, the decision to promote a
senior correctional officer to a position of first line supervisor would
require less consideration, because the new supervisor would be working with
veteran officers. However, under these circumstances, the newly appointed
supervisor will be as much a mentor as a supervisor to the newly hired
correctional officers, many of whom will have little or no experience working
with inmates in a maximum-security facility. What characteristics will you look
for in the candidate of your choice? And because the warden will review your
final decision, make sure to explain why each of the other two candidates was
not selected.
