Background
You have recently joined "BiMS Telecom", a leading Australasian provider of telecommunication services. You are the new "Finance Director" for the South Asia region which includes Bangladesh (HQ), India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. According to your Job Profile you report to both the Managing Director of the South Asia Region and to the CFO at Corporate Headquarters in Malaysia. On your first day in your new role, you have had an initial meeting with the Managing Director and agreed on an intensive orientation week, followed by a goal setting meeting for the upcoming months. The Corporate CFO did not attend this meeting, because he was on holidays and expected to be back in the office one week after your start with the company. The orientation week was intended to be led by the Managing Director and your co-management team members (Head of Marketing, Head of IT, Head of Business Development). They were supposed to guide you through all relevant departments, systems & processes. Things turned out unexpectedly from your perspective. The orientation week never took place as intended because none of the planned participants had sufficient time and/or willingness to attend and support. You basically had to rely on your own pro-activity and tried to orient yourself on your own. Any attempt to gather information from your colleagues has been turned down because of "time pressures". The CFO, after being back from his holidays was apparently overwhelmed by the follow-up work he had to do upon his return. Therefore he did not allocate any time for mentoring and supporting you. In order to solve the problems immediately, you are considering a formal meeting with both the CFO and the regional MD.
