 A: You mean she's hard to approach?

B: Exactly. And when you do, she doesn't really listen to what you have to say.

 A: Can you give me and example?

 B: Sure. Just last week I suggested to her that we email documents instead of printing them. It would save a lot of money. But Ms. Henry didn't even comment on it.

 A: Hmm. Thanks for letting me know. I don't imagine that does much for morale, does it?

B: Oh, it's not so bad. In fact, I know everyone really likes Mr. Tracey's management style.

A: What is it about him that people like?

B: He listens. He lets us contribute.

A: So he's a bit more democratic than Ms Henry?
