Before constructing its newest site addition to the already robust facility, Switch
intended to verify that all of its buildings met the same standards, materials, and
collecting, development, and testing took a year. 15% of the requirements put us in a
dilemma, putting us in danger of not completing the TSCIFs promised to the clients.
TSCIFs may hold 20 to 24 server cabinets. The client needs to determine cabinet size and
server count. Climate, pressure, and electricity are regulated to standard setpoints in a
We visited with the procurement director, vendors, and sales manager. As Co-
Manager, I was responsible for communicating with the team, ensuring commitments were
met, and serving as a co-escalation point. As customer service liaison, I had to attend all
meetings to educate clients on our policies and processes. I'd go through the scope of work
with subcontractors who performed TSCIF's electrical work and provided materials to the
manager. We discussed our strategies, such as the hours and resources needed to finish the

delaying the project. The contractors, procurement director, and other management teams
failed to spot the critical pieces required to rectify the 15% technical deviance. My
department and other sources completed the project on schedule. However, the budget
needed adjustment due to the extra expense of using external sources to expedite the
process.
My previous employer came up with creative project titles and ideas. This business strategy
would help generate interest and excitement about future endeavors. During the project
kick-off meeting, all guests were given items with the project name and tagline, made
through the collaboration of multiple internal departments. In this case, the project name is
"Nap-2." It was also very concerned about its corporate image, with a minimalist logo.
Switch maintained client trust despite the "Nap-2" project delays. The organization
strengthened its hold on monitoring project scope deviation and the political effect internal
departments had on one another, among many other adjustments, as the company's beliefs
Clients have faith in the organization since it has a positive reputation and a top-notch
quality output of deliverables. The organization is a terrific organization, and this project
demonstrates how politics and ambiguous communication can delay projects and

Although the name of the project and its slogan were prominently displayed, many teams
were wholly undetected and lacked technical knowledge in TSCIF construction. A lack of
communication regarding what had been generated, how it was made, and who would be
participating in those processes on a regular basis was one of the factors that contributed
but also the ways in which they participated. Everyone who has questions would be aware
of who to contact, as opposed to providing a generic email address. When we were forced
to address the issues, we came to the realization that each team of function analysts,
business analysts, project managers, and engineers were centered on a different function.
These teams had adopted a team name and developed internal traditions that contributed to

4) Reflect on what you would do or not do differently given what you have learned
Communication and visibility are two aspects that are essential to the success of
any endeavor. During the course of the project, some problems surfaced, but nobody
seemed to notice them. In addition, failing to highlight the tasks that were completed by
the team and failing to provide the organization with more precise contact information did
nothing to assist in making the situation better. I would have updated much more
frequently, disclosed any problems or delays encountered along with their causes, and
provided the organization with access to contacts for each team member.

After gaining an understanding of the symbolic frame, I came to the conclusion that
the leadership within my organization and at my station is expressly based upon clearly
defined leadership roles but does not encourage leadership efforts from different levels of
the organization. I reflect on Bolman and Deal's (2017, p. 246) idea that “living logos,
human icons, whose words and deeds exemplify and reinforce core values."
