You are in favor of the Assessment Center. Since it was introduced, you have had many new ideas for training schemes and have already arranged useful courses for executives. Many members of staff have praised your efforts. You think that managers – and even ordinary workers - should attend the Center. If that happened, you would be a powerful person in the company.

You are against the Assessment Center. You think it is a waste of time and money. The old system worked well, on the whole. Now, the company has had to hire two psychologists - at great expense. And the Director of Personnel is continually asking senior executives to act as assessors at the Center. You think that the Director of Personnel has introduced the Assessment Center so that he and the Training Manager will have more power and influence.

Senior Executive (Sales)
You must attend the Center next month. You aren't too happy - you hate psychological tests. (Give your reasons)

You are in favor of the Assessment Center. However, you feel that the top management - and especially the Chairman - are far too tough. Gerald Harper acts like a dictator, expecting everyone to obey him without question. It is time for the company to be more flexible with staff and treat them as human beings. The management must show that it cares about each and every employee.
