*****CASE SELECTION*****EXERCISE 9.8
Case 4. A young man, 24, is talking to his mentor, a senior partner in the company. A department head has offered him a managerial job in her area. In this job, he will be leading an important project. He says, “I didn’t think this kind of opportunity would come so soon. But I’ve decided to say yes. I’m a bit worried, sure, but I figure I was asked because they think I can do the job. You know, just three years ago I was studying this stuff in school and now I’m going to have a budget, people reporting to me, and a chance to make a mark. I have a pretty clear idea about what I’m going to do when I get started next week. Most of all I want to get off on the right foot with everyone.”
