9. Situation
Imagine this scenario: You're a busy, upper-
level manager, and you supervise several junior
managers. Every quarter, each member of your
managerial team has to give you a written report
on his or her department's progress.
This report details profits, costs, productivity,
and recommendations for the next quarter

10. How to handle Situation?
Reading all of these reports takes days, but
what's even more frustrating is that they're all
completely different. Some of your managers put
the data and statistics right at the beginning,
while others use appendices at the end. Some
don't include an executive summary, or a
section with details about recommendations for
the next quarter.
