can you come in here a minute?

sure, yes.

the DARPs. what are we doing with them?

well, i had them researching our main competitors and putting together profiles on them that we can use to--

they are college students! they are interns. they do not put together profiles. we hire external consultanting teams for that. now, i need to have a report submitted on their activities to their program at the end of the week. here is a stack of projects i've put together for them. going forward, that's what i need them to work on. i think they'll be self explanatory, but i've put post-its on them where there might questions.

ok, but should i have them finish what--

this is the stack of projects i need them to do. and frankly, i am not one hundred percent convinced that we're matching our expectations on their performance levels. what's your reading on that?

well, i think given that--

ok, fine, fine. just draft that into the report and have a copy for me by friday. and going forward, when you volunteer for an extra project like this, i expect you to take ownership of it and actualize your responsibility for its follow-through.

but i didn't even really--

ok, perfect. thank you. can you send alana in on your way out?
