Does Emelia need approval of her supervisor before she begins to take action? What factors may warrant independent action on Emeliaís part?
Emelia coordinated a Meals on Wheels Program for the elderly, and supervised 10 volunteers who delivered the meals. One day, when Emelia filled in for a volunteer and delivered a meal to the Snyders, she found Mr. Snyder very agitated and worried because Mrs. Snyder was missing. Apparently she had wandered off before. Because it was cold outside and they lived two blocks from a busy street, Emelia was alarmed and struggled with how to respond to this unexpected situation. As she tried to prioritize her responsibilities, she began to wonder if her volunteers were communicating with her and if they were well-trained for their responsibilities.
If she is unable to reach her supervisor quickly in a crisis situation, Emelia should attempt to notify someone else at the agency about the situation and ask for direction. If she is not able to get direction from another staff member at the agency, she should go ahead to take action, while she continues to contact her supervisor for guidance.
