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
