Organization Overview
Based on my readings of the material presented in this course, I hope to learn the different values and deterrents of various leadership styles. This section will outline the leader, the objectives of the organization and the relationship between the two. I will be examining the City of Richland’s Energy Service Department (RES) as well as shining a light on the director of that department. I have chosen this organization and leader because it is my current place of employment.
City of Richland (COR) is a municipality located in South Eastern Washington that serves a population of roughly 50,000 people. COR covers 39 square miles of service area and employs roughly 500 people. COR provides all services ranging from Police to Electrical Utility. RES conducts the engineering, installation, operations, and maintenance of the City’s distribution system serving 22,000 customers. It is also the most critical entity to the city, serving an important centrally located hospital, multiple college compasses, a national laboratory and multiple government facilities working on nuclear cleanup.
