Read the following scenario and answer the question. You work for AdSmart, a marketing research firm. You and new coworker are meeting a potential client for lunch. You have several morning meetings on the same day as the lunch meeting, so you arrange to meet your coworker and the potential client at 12:15 p.m. at the restaurant. You arrive five minutes early, and the prospective client arrives shortly thereafter. You both wait in the lobby until 12:35 p.m., when you decide to be seated. You check your BlackBerry and see no received communications from your colleague. Finally, at 12:45 p.m., your coworker arrives. During the lunch, your coworker tells several white lies and reveals information regarding your boss that should have been kept confidential. The prospective client doesn't seem to notice these indiscretions; however, when your coworker begins to badmouth his former employer, a competitor of AdSmart, the client appears ill at ease. Despite the rough start to the lunch meeting, all ends well. You believe that with the appropriate follow-up, the potential client will become one of the firm's more lucrative partnerships. Once you are back at the office, you debrief with your coworker and discuss the next steps. You decide to take on the task of putting together the proposal the client has requested, and your colleague agrees to send a follow-up note thanking the client and indicating that the proposal will arrive within the next week. When you send off the proposal three days later, you inadvertently learn from the client that he never received any correspondence from your coworker. What dimension of professional behaviour did your coworker initially violate? Reliability and responsibility Honesty and ethics Courtesy and respect Employers want team players. Proven team skills Read the scenario and answer the question. You are in a meeting with your work group. Linda, one of your teammates, begins to repeat the same idea she always promotes. You want to tell her it is the worst idea you've ever heard-especially given it hasn't evolved at all in the last month. What should you do? O Ignore Linda's suggestion and return to the topic you were previously discussing. O Listen carefully, and then provide fair but gentle feedback. O Raise your hand and remind Linda that the team has already heard her idea. Read the following scenario and answer the question. You work for AdSmart, a marketing research firm.
