Sasha is the team leader for a product development group. Recently, one of his subordinates, Kate, suggested that the 15-member team celebrate a major milestone by taking the afternoon off to go to play golf together at the company's expense. Sasha cannot approve this request, since the team's budget for entertainment is not enough to pay for everyone. What should Sasha say to Kate when he meets with her to discuss her proposal?

Thanks for the suggestion, but the answer is no.

If you'd thought about the outings we've already been on and how expensive a round of golf is, you probably wouldn't have made this suggestion.

I would be happy to listen to any other ideas you have about how to celebrate our team's achievement.
