Module Opening Scenario
Two employees, Ada and Femi, work on the same shift.
Ada tells their supervisor, Bisi:
“Femi never helps. I do everything while he disappears.”
Femi later says:
“Ada keeps taking over tasks before I can do them, then tells everybody I am lazy.”
Bisi has known Ada for several years.
She likes her and usually trusts her judgment.
Without speaking further to Femi, Bisi tells him:
“You need to stop being lazy and start helping Ada.”
Femi becomes angry.
He says:
“You didn’t even ask what happened.”
Opening Question
What is Bisi’s biggest supervisory mistake?
Remember
Listen before deciding.
