Prepare a $1-$ to $1\mathrm{.}5-$page personality and relationship analysis to help you negotiate, and hopefully convince, the co$-$CEOs of Penders to accept your recommendation about AI at Penders.

Consider the following information about each CEO in your analysis:

Simon Parker has been co$-$CEO for over $10$ years. He is a man known for being highly accommodative and is skeptical of AI$.$ He has heard a lot about the dangers it poses and believes grocery stores should be more traditional in their operations. When it comes to the $$Big $5$ personality factors, Simon is highly agreeable but low on openness.

Felicity Jones has been co$-$CEO for the past $2$ years. She is a woman known to be quite competitive. Her competitiveness is why the board of directors recruited her from a competitor to help Penders gain more market share. She is a fan of AI and the opportunities it provides, but she has been concerned about Penders$$s operations and is not fully trusting of the operations team. Her personality factors include being extroverted and conscientious.

Analyze the factors likely to influence their decision to support or reject your recommendation:

Each CEO$$s personality

Conflict style

Relationship with their co$-$CEO

Level of trust with the Penders operations team

How you might overcome their objections to your recommendation

Possible concessions that might need to be made to achieve a desired result

Identify verbal and nonverbal cues to be aware of and how you might respond when Simon, Felicity, or both express these cues during the presentation.

Analyze how you think Simon and Felicity will receive your recommendation.
