Question

As soon as she allocates tasks to her subordinates, Yolanda, an account manager, thinks about the next set of tasks that she can allocate to them so that she can gain credit from her superiors in the organization. Which of the following management mistakes is evident by this act of Yolanda?

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Being overly ambitious

Explanation:

Ambition is not a bad thing, it is probably one of the best traits that an employee can have, but an excess of something great isn't always good. Yolanda is so worried about upper management noticing how good she is at her work, that she might end up overloading her staff with work that may or may not be necessary or productive. That might result in a decrease in productivity or efficiency. Her subordinates might perform a lot of tasks, but how efficiently will they do it?
