1. B

What has happened in the past is hard to reverse and instead of wasting more time, a good leader would first, work towards meeting the requirements. In this given scenario, the possibility of incurring losses would be blamed on you. The most correct thing to do therefore is to brainstorm with Jackie and the rest of the team on what may be done by each member to meet the deadline.

Choices A, C and D will lead to resentment against the company and yourself and would be bad for moral. The object is to avoid loss and complete the project.

2. B

Effective communication is two sided. Before you respond to the client’s complain, it is important to understand the complaint. Listen carefully and break down each important factor. Without proper listening, you are bound to misunderstand and irritate the client further. This way you end up losing clients. Be empathetic in your response and make yourself easy to understand.

Most people are naturally inclined to thinking that they are always correct in their thinking. This natural bias causes people to feel bad whenever they are proven wrong by someone. Choice A could seem appropriate, but it is detrimental for the future of the business. Most people blame everything on everyone but themselves. When you blame them, choice C, they are less likely to become loyal customers and your business loses in the long run. Choice D is obviously incorrect and can be eliminated right away.

3. D

Communication is very essential in any business undertaking. It is important to tell your side of the story as well as listen to deliberations by the team members. Consultations lead to better decision making.

Choice A seems appropriate; however, it fails to account for the supervisor’s point of view or argument. However valid your argument might be, it is not sufficient to solve the issue. Going to work unwillingly (choice B) on the other hand is bad for you and for the company as well. You won’t be able to concentrate and your productivity will be affected. Finding common ground or some type of accommodation is the best thing to do.

4. C

It is possible the supervisor is unaware of a policy. It therefore becomes important to speak with them politely.

Rarely are supervisors wrong. However sometimes unexpected things happen, but that does not allow you to do something you know violates company policy (Choice A). Declining to do the task (Choice B) without explanation is not likely to be taken well by your superior. Generally supervisors know the policies better than you although it is possible (Choice D). Choice C is the better choice.

5. B

Two heads are better than one. By allowing others to have an input in the final decision, you not only reduce unnecessary resistance but also increase employee commitment. To be effective, a leader should ensure team members are part of the decision-making process. Being involved gives them a sense of importance and belonging.

It is possible to make a thorough analysis of the factors involved in this and assume that one is able to make a decision that will be accepted by all (Choice A) however getting buy-in from everyone is a better strategy. Choices C and D are Obviously wrong choices and can be eliminated right away.
