Scenario 2: What's Your Style?
During his first week on the job, John was eager to learn everything and to know everyone in
his department. He gave his opinion freely in discussions. He worked overtime and did
excellent work. Everyone seemed to like him. One man who had been with the company for a long
time said, "You can't help but like John, but you can tell that he'd leave this department in a second
if it meant getting closer to the top."
Erica started work on the same day as John. Unlike John, however, Erica kept more to herself. She
concentrated on her job and stayed in her area. She made an effort to learn from others and
listened to others in order to understand situations before jumping in with suggestions. One of her
co-workers said, "Erica is a really nice gal. I think she's going to make a strong employee. I like her."
Question: What do you think the future will be like for John? For Erica?
