Question

By the end of the meeting, the coffee shop employees had come up with five options: Kaitlin could work shifts that staff need to miss because of unscheduled events. Kaitlin could make a biweekly schedule. Kaitlin could teach staff members how to draft a schedule and only review the schedule each week. Staff could work longer shifts but fewer of them. Staff could start a phone tree to make it easier to trade shifts if a scheduling conflict occurred. Finally, Cody stood up and said, "I know that we all want everyone to get as many needs met as possible, and it's clear that none of these solutions are perfect. But I also know that the most important thing for all of us is to feel like we're working together. So I say we combine options 2 and 5." "You're right," said Haleigh. "I liked options 2 and 5 best, and it seems like Kaitlin likes options 1 and 4 the least. So this seems like a good solution." There was a spontaneous cheer as everyone agreed. Kaitlin wrote down their plan and posted it by the scheduling board. Looking around the room, she felt proud and touched that all of her employees had worked so hard to solve this problem. In order to come to a satisfactory solution, it's usually necessary to generate, prioritize options, and interlink options. Select the true statement about interlinking options. Interlinking options is the only way to ensure all parties' needs are met. Interlinking options should be stated in a way that conveys all the parties' positions.
