Consequence of Error/Judgement
The Director plays a key role in the management of the UBC Sauder's elite degree programs and has a direct impact on the quality of the programs and services to the students as clients. Decisions must be in line with school goals and integrate with the vision and direction of the university.
The incumbent makes recommendations and decisions regarding the design, management and effective delivery of programs and services to ensure faculty-specific student experience objectives are met. Inability to work cooperatively with students, employees and faculty would jeopardize the effective provision of programs and services to students. Poor management of employees or volunteers may lead to inefficiency, discontent or grievances. Poor decision-making or judgement would compromise the integrity and the marketability of the programs as well as jeopardize the UBC Sauder's and UBC's reputation.
The Director has the complex task of coordinating and balancing the distinct objectives of various stakeholders, often with conflicting interests. Errors in judgement and failure to meet students' expectations may negatively impact the overall image of the school as an institute for superior management educations and/or loss of exceptional students to competitor schools. Failure to provide sound decisions could result in a loss of confidence of the school and undermine the Dean's efforts to raise the school's global ranking and reputation to ensure sustained access to resources and success of the school.
