Hi, Ted this is Carol returning your call about today scheduled meeting. I guess since you’re away on a retreat he didn’t hear that the meeting with the rep from the Auditor General has been postponed until next week. The good news is that it gives us a little more time to polish off the draft of the report. Why don’t you give me a call back and we can discuss getting together to do that. Talk to you soon.

[/tab] [tab title=”Script_de_Dialogue_2″] Rob: Hi I am looking for Mr Cosby Mr Cosby: This is Will and you are? Rob: My name is Rob Newhart. I am calling about an old employee of yours. Mr Keithen? He gave your name as a reference. Mr Cosby: Oh Al? Yah I know him. Great guy! He worked for us if I remember correctly from 2002…to 2007 in finance. Rob: That’s about what he said. So what can you tell me about him as an employee? His work habits, how he got along with others? How he was with deadlines, etc. Mr Cosby: Overall, he was an asset here. I was sad to see him go. He is a very bright man. His work habits were excellent and he always got things in before they were due and his work was always of the highest quality Rob: And how did he got along with his co-workers? Mr Cosby: Ah! That’s actually the one area he didn’t do as well in. Being such a driven individual, he had no patience for people who didn’t pull their own way. To some people, he came across as being pretty arrogant; so he ruffled a few feathers here. Rob: So working on a team?… Mr Cosby: Probably not the best use of his talent. But if you have him working on his own most of the time, he should be fine. Rob: Hmm interesting. Well I have taken up enough of your time Mr Costby. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. Mr Cosby : Don’t mention it and don’t let what I said dissuade you as long as he is managed correctly Al will be an asset to any organization Rob: I will keep that in mind. Have a good afternoon. Mr Cosby: You too. Bye. [/tab] [tab title=”Script_des_Questions”] [/tab][/tabs]

Faites un résumé de ce dialogue. [/tab] [tab title=”Script_du_Dialogue”] Dana: Lucie do you have a moment? I would like to talk to you about something. Lucy: Sure Dana what’s on your mind? Dana: It’s concerning the new project and how the teams were divided this time. Lucy: Yes, is there a problem? You don’t look too happy. Dana: Well honestly I am not. Look, I have been here for a long time, right? Lucy: Yes, certainly. Dana: So I ask that you keep my track record in mind when I tell that the situation is almost intolerable for me. Lucy: Ok go on. Dana: These three kids I am working with have no idea what team work is. I know they are new but I feel like I am babysitting half of the time. Lucy: Let me see…oh yes. You are with Whitney, Christina and Robert. What is it that they are doing that is upsetting you? Dana: It’s what they aren’t doing. They are never ready with the agreed-on work for any meetings. In order to move forward I found I am forced to do more and more. Lucy: You know Dana one of the reason I put you with those three is because of your strong organisational skills and your ability to work well with new people. I am counting on you to help them develop the same skills. Dana: I understand that and I thank you but I am not convinced that they are learning anything from me because they seem to be too busy socialising. Lucy: Ah ha! I see. Do you thing that with little direction from me things can improve. I can certainly have a word with them. Dana: Yes but that may then cause problems because they will know I have been to see you to complain about them. Lucy: Not necessarily. What I can do is make it just an informal how-is it-going-meeting about ask about what they are doing specifically and encourage them to use this opportunity to demonstrate what they can do. Dana: That’s fine but to tell you the truth I will still prefer to work with another group or on my own this time. Lucy: I wish I can do something Dana but I really do need you in place with these three. I am going to ask all teams to provide a detail update each week concerning who’s done what. That should help things move in the right direction. Dana: Ok well I will do my best. Lucy: Thanks. [/tab]
