Question

You are a member of a project team revising the Nvidia Corporation’s ethics policy. The team has representatives from five divisions: Software Engineering, Graphic Design, Business Systems, Demand Planning, and Corporate Communications. You are the Corporate Communications representative and the team’s leader. Audra, a member of the project team, suggests that the team review a new draft of the ethics policy. She says the policy will have positive effects on the team’s performance and on the organization as a whole.
What is the most important message your colleague is trying to convey?

A) She wants to present a new draft of the ethics policy.
B) The other members of the team are ineffective.
C) She is concerned that her work isn’t being valued.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) The other members of the team are ineffective

Explanation:

The role of the corporate communications is a very important one; that department is responsible for how employees, investors, clients and the general public alike view an organization. The office of the corporate communications is also responsible for coordinating and handling all internal and external communication to the end that a better work environment is fostered; one which ensures the maximum productivity of the organization. As such, what we see here is that Audrey gives a feedback to the head of Corporate Communications who also doubles as the team leader of what can be done to enhance the optimal performance of the team. She suggests that a critical appraisal be done concerning the ethics policy of the company. Audrey is not insinuating that her work is undervalued evidenced by the fact that what she said would apply to all and not just her.  Nor does she seek to present new draft of the ethics policy, since she suggested that 'the team' handle the review. Audrey simply brings to the fore the fact that the team needs to be injected with a fresh dose of effectiveness.

Hence, option B is the correct answer
