DIPLOMACY AT WORK

Read the dialogue and think about how to use diplomacy in an office context

The officer manager (Janice) has called a staff meeting.

See how she handles a suggestion by one of her colleagues (Bruce).

Read the dialogue as expressively as you can!

Janice: Good morning! As you know, we are here this morning to discuss strategies for improving office morale. Any suggestions?

Bruce: Yes, I think I’ve got a good one!

Janice: Let’s hear it!

Bruce: «Pajama Mondays»

Janice: Uh-oh…

Bruce: Everybody wears their pajamas and slippers to work on Mondays.

Janice: That’s a terrible idea.

Bruce: I think it would be really fun, and help raise spirits around here.

Janice: Fun? More like ridiculous.

Bruce: I think our clients would like it too.

Janice: Are you crazy? It would never work!

Bruce: Well, do you have any better ideas?

Janice: Anything would be better than that!
