Dialogue 1



A Manager talks to a Supervisor about employee morale in the Department.



A: Are you satisfied with the performance of your people and their general attitude towards
their work and the company?


B: Well, no, no
t really. There doesn’t seem to be much cooperation or team spirit in the
Section.



A: Do you have any ideas as to why that is?


B:
They don’t seem to accept orders very well. I tell them what to do but, it just becomes a
hard slog.



A:
That doesn’t s
ound too good. Have you spoken to them and tried to find out if there are
any specific reasons for their attitude.



B:
No, they get paid to do what they’re told, so why should I have to molly coddle them?



A:
It’s not a matter of molly coddling them, it’s a matter of treating them as individuals and
getting some feedback on the way they think.



B: I don’t need feedback, I know how to run the Section.



A:
We know you’ve got the experience, that’s why you’re a Supervisor but, if you want to
get the best performance out of your people, you need to build up rapport.



B: What, by being nice to them and let them get away with anything?


A:
No, that’s not what I meant. It’s a matter of listening to your people, making them feel
part of a team, involving them in decision making and building up trust.



B:
I don’t know. I’m of the old school where the boss gives orders and the workers do as
they’re told.

Dialogue 2


A Sales Manager has a meeting to motivate his staff.



A:
It’s been a tough time these past few months and that’s why I’ve
called this meeting, so
we can all look towards the silver lining that’s just over the horizon. B: We sure hope that’s right
because, sales have been really tough lately.



A: You all know that selling is an emotional business. We all know we are going to have our
ups and downs. But, we must always remember, the only failure is in no longer trying.



B:
But, the current problem isn’t really our doing. There’s too many outside factors affecting
the market.



A:
To a certain extent, that’s true. What we also need to realise is that it’s affecting our
competitors the same way.



B: So, how does that help us?


A: It helps us by giving us the incentive to be innovative. We need to look at what we’re
doing, to see what works and what doesn’t and see how we c
an improve our approach.
