The Case of the Unsatisfied Student Leader
A few days ago, one of your Student Activities leaders, Carol, came up to you and presented the idea of hosting a Spring Formal dance . While you love her enthusiasm, you tried to explain to her why it wasn't such a good idea this year . You have helped to plan these events in the past and have seen the attendance slowly decline over the years . Your student leaders decided last year to take a few years off so the student body could get excited about it again .
Not being one to take "no" for an answer, Carol went to the President of the school because he has always seemed like someone who wanted to be open and accessible to the student body . She asked him what he thought about it and he loved the idea and told her to go ahead with it . He said he couldn't understand why it was ever decided to stop planning the event in the first place, and he even offered to provide some discretionary funding to make it a success .
Carol stopped by this morning and told you about the President's decision . She tried to be respectful, and said, "I know you told me not to, but I really think this is a great idea . I totally respect you, but I really just feel that the campus needs this to happen . You don't need to attend, and I promise not to bother you with any of the planning details ."
> What would you do?
> How would this affect your relationship with Carol?
DON'T FORGET YOUR RESPONSE NEEDS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 50 WORDS!!!!
I would ask Carol as to why she did that. I would then continue to tell her why I think it is not a good idea, because I agree that they should not have it for a while so when it comes time to have it again the kids will get excited about it again. I would think of Carol a little differently for she got what she wanted without stopping or not trying.
ReplyDeleteI would first talk to Carol and why she did that. I don't like what she did. I think the kids shouldn't be able to play for a while so then when they can play again see who gets excited and can play right. I think she should get what she wants at times but not always, and I don't think she should lie and cheat.
ReplyDeleteI would probably confront to find out why she wen behind my back after I told her it was a bad idea. There is a reason for not having the dance right now. I don't like it when people go behind my back just to get what they what. One day it will all catch up to them.
ReplyDeleteI would let by gones be by gones people who backstab will often find their place.
ReplyDeleteLike the chaff suspended in the fruitful kernels it will eventually fall between the sifting wire and to the fire to be burned.
I would ask her why she said that about me then I would proceed to yell at her and ask her what good did that do to her and then I would never talk to her again.
ReplyDeleteI would ask her why she went behind my back.. and explain to her why i think its not a good idea.. annd or the other way around. but yeah.. She didnt really go behind her back.. but i dont know.. im not sure what i would do.
ReplyDeleteYou should make a compromise with that person that works for both of you. If you do not communicate then things will get messed up. Also it can ruin relationships and you eventually come to conflict in the future. You also might feel bad for how this situation turns out.
