Answer to Question 1

C
Your point of view certainly has merit, Lisa, but I have doubts because our company's pay
already exceeds industrial standards is the statement that would best help Renee express her
disagreement with Lisa's opinion. In selling your point of view, you will find the Yes, but . . .
technique is more effective; in other words, acknowledge the other person's point of view and
show your respect for it.

Answer to Question 2

C
Making negative comments when a participant puts forth an infeasible idea is not an effective
practice that a good leader would adopt. Negative comments discourage participation and
should, therefore, be kept to a minimum and presented so tactfully that they do not discourage
others from making suggestions.
