The prestigious Harvard Business Review has developed a business case relating to the transition of an executive from Steven to Stephanie. This business case covers the situation where a sales executive, Steve, notifies her management that she will be transitioning to Stephanie. The case study revolves around the Human Resources Manager and how she acts upon this information. One of the company’s staff finds out about the transition and explodes
giving the HR manager a major headache. Stephanie is a top producer but what about the staff, the customers, the dreaded restroom problem, and what about Stephanie. The business case is responded to by three experts in the field, and executive, an HR manager, and a person who has transition in the work place and who has worked with others who have transitioned.
