Critical Incident Report
Students will be provided (below) with a critical incident scenario
which focuses on the analysis of the business manager’s skills,
capabilities, and behaviour to addressing a management problem
in their organisation. Prepare a 1500-word critical incident report
for senior management which outlines the key personal
competencies required to address the management problem in
the future.
CRITICAL INCIDENT SCENARIO:
Your company CEO has just been credibly accused of sexual
harassment by two previous subordinates in his previous position
as COO of another company. The stories of these accusations are
gaining ‘virality’ in the media and online. The CEO adamantly
denies harassing these two ex-employees; however, their stories
were separately given, without knowledge of each other, and had
details that were unique and consistent.
You have been asked by the company board to assess the
situation and produce recommendations from a ‘key personal
competencies’ leadership perspective. This report will then help
the board to assess whether or not the current CEO meets these
Page 2 of 4
recommendations, and, if not, the report will inform the
recruitment of the replacement CEO.
Present your findings as a research report (1500 words) using
the following structure:
• Cover page: Your name, MGT811 and the title of the
report: this should be a concise description of your
report
• Table of contents: list all major sections with page
numbers
• Introduction: Cover the Background (what has come
before the report to make it necessary for you to write
it?), Aim(s) (what is the main aim(s) of the report?) and
Scope (how will you cover this aim(s), discuss sections
and what will and won’t be covered).
• Main body: This should be your response to the incident
detailed above. You will need to assess the situation,
using the theory covered in the unit. You will need to
then make empirically supported recommendations for
the board. There need to be regular in-text referencing
to support your writing.
• Conclusion: Using the literature write a short summary
of your findings as well as some concise and practical
recommendations for further research on the subject
matter discussed in your report.
• Reference list: use the APA referencing system.
Please note the following important points:
• The report should be in a clear, easy to read font, 12-
point size, with 1.15 spacing. Overall presentation should
reflect the appropriate business format.
• Unreferenced reports, or those that do not include a
minimum of five (5) references, will receive a grade of
50% or less. The quality of your references will impact
your grade (at least three (3) of your sources should be
scholarly, i.e. peer-reviewed academic journal articles)
• Descriptive papers (i.e. not critical) will receive a grade of
50% or less
Readings for the assessment
