MCQ - Leadership, Engagement and People Performance

Ananya, a young designer, has joined an established design agency fresh out of college. She is brimming with excitement to convert her academic learnings into real work and wants to make a significant impact on society. 

On the first day, she is introduced to the team which sets her off to contribute to a project with a strict deadline along with quality work. Since the first week, she gets little time to interact with the team informally which she brushes off stating the deadline reason. Her manager conversed with her only twice in a span of 3 months, and the discussions focused on setting clear work expectations.

Ananya is dissatisfied and disinterested in her work and behaviour recently. Her manager also takes note of this. 

With this context, what should her Manager have done differently in the initial months?

A - He should have had a detailed conversation with Ananya to explain her role in the team. In the meetings, he should have observed her interests and the skills she brings to the team. 

B - He should have provided sufficient information, cultural insights, and a platform to express her viewpoints on different occasions.   

C - He should have shown the positive correlation between her work and its organisational impact on society.

D - He should have waited for her to adjust to the system and learn the ropes gradually by subtly bringing up the precedents set by other teammates earlier for her to strictly follow.

A. Only A, B and D

B. Only A, C and D

C. Only B, C and D

D. Only A, B and C
