" Come in, Kim. Have a seat, please, " said Bill Williams, the manager. This was Kim's first experience with an assessment. After only six months he was due for a raise if this assessment was satisfactory.

" Kim, " began Bill Williams, " I am very pleased with the quality of your work. I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work. My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions. "

" But, " replied Kim, " I have always completed every assignment you have given me, Mr. Williams. "

" I know that, Kim. And please, call me Bill. But what I expect is for you to think independently and introduce new ideas. I need more input from you, more feedback on how things are going. I don't need a ‘yes-man’ . You never tell me what you think. You just smile as though everything is fine. "

" But , " said Kim, " I feel that since you are my superior, it would be presumptuous of me to tell you what to do. "

" I'm not asking you to tell me what to do, but what you think we could do. To make suggestions, I employed you because I respect your experience in this field, but you are not communicating your thoughts to me. "

"Yes, I see. I'm not accustomed to this, but I will try to do as you say... Bill. "

"Good, then. I expect to hear more from you at staff meetings or at any other time you want to discuss an idea with me. "

"Yes,, of course. Thank you, Mr. Will... Bill. "
