HIT AND MISS MANUFACTURING: A Star is Born The head of HR deparment, Atty. Mila Bravo was directed by the company president to act as leader of a committee whose task is to revise and update the current compensation scheme of the company. The president designated the following as members of the committee: 1. The accountant 2. The executive secretary 3. An employee in one of the operating units 4. An officer of the labor union 5. The internal auditor 6. A representative from the public During the first meeting, the seven members were all present. The president made a briefing regarding the purpose of the group, the circumstances that lead to the formation of the group, and his expectations about the group’s output.

Most of the members of the committee, however, cannot devote the time required to finish the job within the time frame indicated by the president. It turned out later that it was not only time that hinders the committee’s effectiveness. The first two meetings were held without much fuss.

He never attempted to explain his position to the committee leader or to any member, but his body language indicated that he was too busy doing more important concerns for the president and the board of directors.

Outside of the meetings, he indicated to one member his objections to some of the matters that were deliberated and approved by the committee. As the meetings progressed and without his active participation, he made piecemeal reports to the president.
