Youve recently been promoted into the position of marketing manager in the communications division of your company. Your new job involves managing a staff and creating the publications and marketing materials for insurance sales professionals in three regions. You have met the directors of the three regional sales forces before, and now you ask each one for a meeting to discuss in depth how your team can best meet their needs. Two of the sales directors were very cordial, and each explained what the technical demands of their areas are and how your department can best meet their needs. However, during your meeting with Billthe sales director of the third region and one of your firms biggest moneymakers he lays down the law.

In addition, he says hell personally give you a monetary bonus, based on your teams performance, at the end of the year.
