Question

   5.10 Using Diplomatic, Constructive Terms (LO5.5) For each of the following items, rewrite the sentences to achieve a more positive, constructive tone.    

You probably won’t be accepted into the management training program because you haven’t worked here long enough to show any commitment.    

Your contention that you have enough supervisory experience to make you qualified is questionable.     I think you must reconsider your views on the management training program if you expect it to succeed. You’re just not in touch with reality if you expect to get quality managers without paying them higher salaries sooner in the program.

Answer 1

The management training is for individuals who have been associated with the organization for long and hence you probably may not accepted for the same because of your short tenure. There is no doubt that your qualifications are enough in order to qualify for the training but I believe it would be better if you think a bit different for the training program in order to make it successful. You will have to hire quality managers for the process and pay them accordingly in order to make them work for the same and make the training program a success.
