Dazzle Magazine
Rosalea recently switched careers. Previously, she was a college professor, but she felt she needed more real-world experience to help her business students more fully. Her passion and commitment led her to become the manager at Dazzle Magazine, where she was in charge of the layout. Always charismatic, energized, and driven, Rosalea expected as much from her employees as she did of herself. Although the recognized leader, Rosalea let her staff implement their own ideas at times.
It was a stressful time when publication deadlines neared. At one point, there was a major mix-up in the layouts for the front cover. Rosalea was not sure of the correct layout because she had allowed one of her employees, Joseph, to modify and run with his idea on this matter. However, she could not ask for Joseph's help with the covers because he happened to be out of town at the time. Rosalea quickly looked over the layouts but felt that they still needed some work.
She decided to ask the design manager for her help. The design manager did not feel comfortable making a decision on the issue, so she did not give Rosalea an answer. Rosalea then went to an employee within her department for advice. That employee suggested some ideas, but Rosalea was still not satisfied. Finally, Rosalea called one of her top graduate students with whom she had kept in contact and asked her if she could offer some ideas. The graduate student quickly came to the magazine's office and helped Rosalea decide on the alternative that should be implemented. Rosalea greatly appreciated the assistance and the suggestion. The final cover design went to press, and that issue of the magazine was successful. This helped Rosalea realize that considering the big picture was good, but equally important were the little details.
