Challenge the Boss or Stand Down
Paragraph1:
“Tom, this week’s client meetings went well, but they would have gone better if you had been on top of the market data,” it read. “When you’re on your own, I expect you to be better prepared. It’s essential for your new responsibilities in developing market strategies for your region.”

If we can’t get new off offerings out there soon, we won’t be able to compete in this business. I know you’re not a fan of the project, but—” “Did you read my e-mail?” “Yes, I did.” “And?” “And, yes, I will prepare better.” “Good,” Frank said. “And, Tom, I need you to put your skunk works project on hold. The market-strategy meeting is next week, and I still haven’t seen your plan, which was due yesterday. That is your one and only priority right now. Capisce?” “Understood,” Tom said wearily.

Paragraph 3:
“Glad you could make it, Tom,”
Frank admired Tom on completing his planning strategy.Moreover, the communication skill motivates the employee to remain devoted to the work.........................
