Case Study:
Talal, CEO and the president of a pharmaceutical company based in Riyadh. Talal is going
to retire after three months and has been asked to select his successor. He wanted to decide
one candidate from the following three best possible candidates he feels would best take
over his position.
1) Badar the VP – Marketing, Working with company from 20 years and under Talal
for 7 years.
2) Rayyan the VP-Operations, been with company 23 years has most experience.
3) Sayeed VP-HR, been with company for 15years but has worked his way up the
ladder impressively.
Outside the workplace Badar, Rayyan, Sayeed are close friends and after receiving word
that they are the finalists for the job promotion. Tension rises both within and outside the
workplace. They also find out that the decision will not be announced until few weeks,
which causes that tension to raise that much more. Outside the work the three close friends
have not talked nearly as much since the promotion announcements and is causing negative
effects in their home lives. With the three of them failing to communicate, they won’t know
how they each perceive the situation, thus building on the already present stress and anxiety.
Talal ultimately chooses Badar due to his experience under him as VP. This puts even more
responsibility in Badar’s hands. The decision surely sends shockwaves throughout the
company, starting with Rayyan and Sayeed. Rayyan is extremely upset with the decision,
and with him being a very verbally aggressive person, he starts to cause some conflict with
his work behaviour. Sayeed, who is also highly upset, decides he cannot work under Badar,
quits the job, and cuts off the friendship they had.
To resolve this conflict, Badar calls multiple meetings hoping to improve the
communication within the business, however, this backfires tremendously. Rayyan’s work
behaviour continues to spiral out of control and is constantly verbally aggressive in
meetings, targeting Badar in certain comments, which only makes things worse by making
the rest of the group uncomfortable, this leaves Badar clueless as what to do simply because
he has not done anything wrong. He was awarded a job promotion and has not done
anything to provoke Rayyan or Sayeed to act the way they have.

Case Study: Credibility for an Entry-Level Professional
Sara, Ali, and Asif were recently hired as audit assistants. This is the first full-time
professional position for each of them. During the first few months of work, each of them
experienced successes and failures.
Sara gained a reputation for finding out exactly what clients wanted. She asked the right
questions and respectfully explained points of disagreement with them, and showed them
she was genuinely interested in them. Several of his colleagues commented that clients
trusted her to act appropriately on their behalf. Her supervisor was pleased that Sara always
followed through on commitments and was positive .However, her performance was far
from perfect. Her supervisor noticed that Sara sometimes made fairly basic mistakes in her
audits and her colleagues would have to redo some of her work.
Ali has gained a reputation for completing audits more accurately than all other new audit
assistants. His supervisor is worried, however, about his long-term success at the firm.
Ali tends to overpromise. Last week, he told his supervisor he’d finish an important project
but instead worked on other tasks. Last month, he called in sick for a few days. On one of
his sick days, his supervisor saw pictures of his at a party that he had posted to Instagram.
Asif is the top performer on audits among the new group of employees at the firm. He is
precise and efficient. He can typically accomplish many tasks in about half the time of
most other audit assistants. His supervisor is concerned, however, about his interpersonal
skills. He tends to often criticize his colleagues for their mistakes and rarely offers
appreciation for their help. He also seems to rub clients the wrong way and comes across
as “antisocial” according to one valued client.
Read the case above and answer the following questions:
1. Which element of credibility does Sara lack? What would you recommend to her to
improve her credibility? (1 Mark)
2. Which element of credibility does Ali lack? What would you recommend to him to
improve his credibility? (1 Mark)
3. Which element of credibility does Asif lack? What would you recommend to him to
improve her credibility? (1 Mark)
4. What is the significance of establishing credibility in business communication?
(2 Marks)
Part-II (5 Marks)

Based on this conversation, do the following:
1. Summarize the conversation in one paragraph. (1 Mark)
2. Evaluate your and others’ performance in terms of assuming the best in one another,
staying calm, finding common ground, disagreeing diplomatically, avoiding
exaggeration and either/or approaches, and sharing all stories (including a shared
story). (2 Marks)
3. Describe three ways you would approach the conversation differently if you did it over
again. (2 Marks)
