Bonnie First supervises respiratory therapists at a large community hospital. One day her manager said, “Your department used too much overtime again last week. I want you to propose a solution to this problem, and I think you need to involve the employees in finding the solution. Get back to me in a week with your ideas.” To prepare for the next meeting with her manager, Bonnie decided she needed to hold a department meeting at 1:00 the next afternoon. She asked two therapists to spread the word about this meeting.

How could the supervisor have better planned this meeting?
