GENERAL MANAGER

ENTERS

HELLO, HOW ARE YOU?

I CALLED YOU IN TO

DISCUSS AN IDEA I’VE

HAD: A MENTORING

PROGRAM FOR NEW

MANAGEMENT

RECRUITS

IT SOUNDS GREAT BUT.. .

WE ARE ALL VERY BUSY

WHEN CAN WE TAKE

THIS ON AS WELL?

DO YOU REMEMBER

WHEN YOU STARTED

AND I, AS YOUR

MANAGER, SHARED

MY KNOWLEDGE AND

IMPARTED MY SKILLS?

IN DOING SO, I HELPED

YOU IN YOUR CAREER

&ALSO HELPED MYSELF!

HMMM YOU HAD TO

BRING THAT UP! OK I SEE

THE POINT OF WHAT YOU

ARE TRYING TO DO…

STILL,

WHY WOULD WE DO IT?

YOU KNOW FIRST HAND

RELATIONSHIPS BUILD

LOYALTY AND COMMITMENT
