Blaze Mining is a mid-size, family-owned oil and mining company located in Louisiana. Over the past 10 years,
leadership of the company has fractured and become antagonistic. Non-collaborative internal teams have
caused great damage to the management and operation of critical functions within the organization. Recently,
a new CEO joined the organization and was stunned by the discord within the leadership team and its effect on
the bottom line.
Organizational Design:
Blaze Mining is family-owned and managed. There are multiple divisions and departments pertinent to the type
of operation occurring: Mining, Oil, Off Shore, Human Resources (HR), Finance, Education, and Safety. Each
section is led by a family member and a personally selected team. The CEO is the overseer of the company.
