Make it Clear

Make it Personal

“Our shareholders are not happy, because our stock price is dropping. We’ve

got to find a way to increase revenue”

“If we don’t show a rise in revenue, by the end of this quarter, we may face

restructuring, some of our branches could be closed down & we may even have to let

some people go.”

“But, if we deliver on our promise to shareholders, we will be credited with turning this

situation around, we will gain senior management’s trust and support and the budget

we requested will be approved.”
