Blog #6 CEO for a Day

If I was in charge of running this organization I would try to create less of a hierarchy. While everyone within the office, whether an intern or the CEO, was treated with respect, there is definitely a tier system. In my time as an intern I only came into contact with one of the three CEOs once for about half a minute. While this would be normal at a large corporation, there are only 26 employees, so I expected to interact with them a bit more. All of the higher ups are also extremely dependent on their assistants, as most tend to be, but they were so dependent that some assistants were not allowed to leave their desks, or if they did, it could only be for a few minutes. I understand that in order to go far in most fields, especially the entertainment industry, you have to pay your dues, but everyone deserves a break, even if it's just grab a sandwich, or go to the bathroom. Another big part of this industry is communication, and while the assistants are really good at their jobs, no one is perfect. There were a few times that I heard a higher up scream at their assistant for making a mistake, which I found to be counterproductive, and a little abusive. Yelling at someone, and overreacting, tend to make the problem worse, and calmly asking them to fix whatever it is, is equally, if not more, beneficial.
