Que 13. Passage:

 In order to provide you with the chance to learn more about the technical aspect of the manufacturing industry where you are working, you are on a placement working with a team of specialists. Your mentor has requested you to find a means to make this technical knowledge more broadly available to other employees of the company who have struggled to understand it. Being up to date with the most recent technology can be difficult in this field because of how quickly it changes. Consider your strategy carefully, keeping in mind that there are numerous sites spread out across the nation and that the technical team has a bad reputation for poor communication and distancing itself from the larger company.

a) Request from your mentor a list of individuals who would profit from more training. Email these individuals to invite them to a webinar you will be hosting on a variety of dates. Ask your mentor if you could do this once a year to keep everyone’s knowledge current.

b) Inform all department heads through email that you can provide their staff with additional technical training, and provide a range of pre-scheduled dates for them to pick from. Tell your mentor that this has to be a key component of new starting orientations.

c) Agree to create a brief report outlining the most important technological advancements that have an impact on the company’s manufacturing procedures. 

d) 4) Propose the formation of a group called the “new technology forum” that has regular meetings. Offer to preside over it and invite important technical team members and representatives from all business areas.

Their profile will improve and they won’t need you to spread information for them anymore. Departmental representatives will make sure that the information is distributed throughout the entire company. Rest options cannot be the best judgement as all ignore the importance of improving relations.

Que 14. Passage: 

You have been in charge of a significant and well-known project for your company. Although there were some difficult challenges to overcome, you and your team were able to successfully work around and go over every problem that sprang up. Although it is now obvious that the project will be completed on schedule and within budget, your manager has just informed you that a regional meeting has been moved up by one day. This would be an excellent opportunity to discuss the project’s results with some influential figures from the company.
The team has already been stretched thin and put under a great deal of pressure, and you are pleased with what they have accomplished so far.

a) Explain to your management that the project has already had a significant impact on the team and that adding more pressure now could have a negative impact. Say that while the complete results won’t be ready at that time, you could present an interim update at the regional conference.

b) Inform your manager that you would ask the team to use all available resources to complete the project a day early so that the outcomes can be ready for the regional meeting. Describe how you will try your best to support them as needed in these last stages despite the fact that they have already been under a lot of pressure.

c) Suggest to your management that you would try, to the best of your ability, to deliver the project a day early, but that you can’t promise it because the team has been working really hard and you can’t guarantee delivery a day early.

d) Inform your manager that the team is under pressure and that the project plan is already quite constrained. Explain that you will need additional resources if you want to provide them any sooner. The job can be completed a day earlier if you can gain access to a different person.

Solution: Option (d) stands best. This demonstrates to your manager that you are up for the task and that you are confident in your ability to give your team the extra help they may require. This reaction demonstrates that employers are searching for graduates who have drive and resiliency.

Que 15. Passage: 

At the bank where you work, you have been in charge of a small group of customer service representatives who answer incoming calls on a daily basis. You have been leading your team for six months, and throughout that time, you have been extremely happy with the work they have produced. You also believe that the new procedures you have implemented have shortened call times and raised customer satisfaction levels.
However, your manager recently informed you at a supervisor’s meeting that incoming client representatives would henceforth be in charge of handling customer inquiries as well as cross-selling goods and services. This is a part of a larger effort to increase sales of imported goods and services that have not had great success.

You worry that the team will react poorly to being forced to try to cross-sell because this isn’t what they were originally hired to do and that this would negatively affect the key performance indicators your team is judged against. How would you handle the predicament?

a) Be sure to politely voice your concerns at the meeting so that the managers in charge of the cross-selling program may consider the potential harm to the customer service representatives and their current performance indicators.

b) Explain the new initiative to your team again, expressing your worries about the potential effects, and asking them to come up with solutions to prevent them from happening.

c) After the meeting, request a private meeting with your manager to voice your worries about the changes and their potential effects on your team. By doing so, you can consult them before creating a strategy to put their ideas into practice.

 d) Consider the effects the modifications will have on the team, and then modify your current plans and procedures to lessen any potential drawbacks. Once you are satisfied with your idea, return to the team and announce the new project.

Solution: Option (d) stands for the best judgement. This response suggests that you are comfortable with change. Whilst we do not always agree with changes in our workplace, we often have to find ways to work with the changes and to consider their implications on the wider business, not just the impact they may have on us or our immediate team.
