He was treated with kindness and assurances as to how well he helped the staff and how employees appreciated his sug- gestions for improvement. Prior to exiting the con ference room, Bill asked whether there were any questions about his report. No questions, just smiles, accolades, and good-byes. Jeff thought to himself wow, it is good to see good people take sugges tions and be so willing to make the changes that Bill suggested Hold on; it turns out Bill wasn't as wonderful as he had been applauded to be. The group was now disgruntled with his report. Bill was gone and now criticized and berated. Jeff, who was still in the room, was not scheduled to finish his assignment for another 2 weeks, asked, "Why didn't you ask questions while Bill was here?" Carol, the finance director replied, "I spent 2 weeks with Bill He just made up his mind. There was just no changing his mind." Jeff said, "Are you saying that you disagree with Bill's report?" Carol, replied, "Yes, I do disagree with it" Jeff continued, "But you did not state that while he was here. You told him you liked his sug- gestions and that you were already in the process of implementing them." Carol replied, "That's true, but since we made the suggested changes while he was here, he did not have to include them in his report. Now I look bad in that report." Jeff replied, "It speaks well of your organization that you have done so; however, it is the board that asked for the audit. We must report what we foundCarol, dis- gruntled, said, "Well Jeff you are doing a super job and the feedback from staff has been nothing but praise, but as to Bill, ugh." Discussion 1.
