Introduction to the scenario
The scenario is an adventure. You’re presented
with a challenging situation and a
choice of three options of how to act. You chose one
option, which opens up a number of other options, and
so on, until you reach an outcome.
When you reach an outcome, go back and choose
other options to see the effect of your different
choices. Going back to a point where you can make alternative
decisions may mean going back a few levels or back to
the beginning, depending on where you are in the scenario.
The scenario gives you the opportunity to try
out different ways of dealing with challenges,
without having to test them out in real life! While
some approaches may be better than others, there’s
rarely one correct answer. The purpose is to see the
effect that your actions would have.
Be honest with yourself, try different ways of reacting
to things and have fun!
In this scenario, you are a new manager who
has inherited a team of apparently unmotivated volunteers.
Volunteers are crucial to the centre and you are worried
about the quality of service, but as a new manager you
are wary of making assumptions about what’s going
on. What do you do?
If you need more guidance consult scenario
help.
