Scenario:

Maria, instructor of interpersonal skills for managers, has had three sessions with particular organization. She was told that Neil hasn't been able to keep a team together for more than three months at a time.

She writes him a memo about his behaviors (reading, looking bored, not bothering to contribute and the negative effect it has on the group). She asks him to eliminate these behaviors because she believes his power and prestige will grow.
