Purpose
The purpose for the case study is to help a pilot on his weight loss journey. A pilot is a person that has a tight schedule and keeps travelling hence to have personal contact with a manager will be so hard. Weight loss management entails lots of physical exercises and most importantly a very strict diet schedule. The process needs lots of follow up and discipline hence a telephone contact is very important between the manager and the pilot (O’Brien, 2014). There has to be a means of communication. The first step will be to create a long term and short term schedules for the exercises and dieting which will be done face to face(Courcoulas et al, 2013) This will favour the schedules of both of them to ensure for thorough adherence and effectiveness. Dieting will involve precise food timetables that will be changing after a fortnight. The manager will use the contact to ensure that the pilot is adhering to the schedule and to also encourage him on maintaining discipline through the process. The exercises will be chosen in a way that will not cause complications in his work since he is a pilot (Jensen et al, 2014).The days that the pilot is not flying they will have full day schedules that will involve the aerobics and dieting. This will instil discipline and familiarising the pilot on the process so that he can adhere to it even when he is not around. The means of contact will not only be audio but also visual just to monitor him and ensure that he is doing what is needed correctly (Hackman et al, 2013).On the follow up compliance the manager will give the pilot a book that he is supposed to record all what he did whether he achieved it or not. There will be also a place to record the amount of weight loss after a week. There will be also sessions of guidance and counselling just to ensure that the emotional life of the pilot is in check. The manager should also be very friendly but professional such that the exercise will run smoothly and not under pressure and stress as this will destroy everything instead of building. Weight loss is not an easy journey but with purpose and good methodology all will be effective and the results will be amazing.
