Unit 4 Team Building

Task 7. Speaking.

 With a partner, act out the roles below, based on the dialogue from Task 6. Then suich roles.

B: I guess that's worth a shot. We need someone who takes charge.

A coordinator.

A: I agree. But we only want one. We don't need two people arguing over what to do next.

B: Good call. Let's use Bob.

A: But Bob tends to be too focused on planning, don't you think?

B: So we'll pair him up with someone who can get work done fast.

A: Fair enough. What do you think of Sonya? She's pretty efficient.

B: I like her as an implementer, yes. So we have a leader and a hard worker - what else do we need?

A: I'd say we need a plant. Somebody creative. Our client wants a really attractive page

Dear Comstock Staff: Beginning March 15, 2018, you will have a new District Five Regional Manager. After 35 years of continuous service, I am leaving all of you to pursue an exciting future.

It has been my pleasure to train my successor, Geraldine Hines, this past year.
