Mr.Prasad enters the executive’s office.
Mr.Prasad You sent for me Sir?
Niren About these letters that you typed yesterday, the typing is all right but I’d appreciate if you would use a dictionary to check on the correct spellings of words.
Mr.Prasad I’m sorry Sir. I’ll recheck the spellings and retype the letters on office computer.
Niren I’ve corrected the spellings, this time. But do be careful in future, will you Mr. Prasad?
Mr. Prasad Yes Sir, I’ll be careful.
Mr.Prasad leaves the marketing office room.
Prema One has to have a particular skill in getting work done in marketing office these days.
Ranjan The secret is to be polite yet firm with the junior office staff. Unfortunately if one is too friendly with the staff they tend to take it as a sign of weakness.
Prema Oh, but there is no call to be pity with the staff.
Niren There is no cause to act superior if the companies office staff do their work conscientiously. Nevertheless some authority has to be maintained. Though one does not have to be a slave driver nor need one wreck the nerves of the staff members with scoldings.
