Assignment task: You are the manager of a five people team. Now you are required to organize a new event to welcome a new group of interns from Russia who will be staying in Australia for three months. You will need to plan a Welcome speech; the speech is to be at least 2 minutes long, explaining each person in the team and their role/involvement and why
Below are the team member details:
Sterling Zeng:
Sterling is from China and has been to Australia over 16 years. He is 38 divorced with no children.
As the manager of team, Sterling is formal, punctual and hates uncertainty. He respects authority and believes that it is the Boss's job to tell everyone what to do. He is competitive and possessive. He is happy to lend you office supplies, but you must ask first and return them when you have finished. He is comfortable with people standing close.
Ivan Petrovski
Ivan is from Russia and came to Australia three years ago. He is 40 and has two teenage children. He can read and write English, but has trouble understanding people who speak quickly. Ivan is formal, punctual and hates uncertainty. He believes there is one right way to perform each task. He respects authority and believes that it is the Boss's job to tell everyone what to do. He is competitive and possessive - don't borrow his pen without asking. Don't stand too close, either: it makes him uncomfortable. Ivan is a vegetarian, though he will eat eggs and milk.
Mary Jones
Mary is a 70-year old Australian with a hearing-impairment. She is a devout Christian who expects to attend services on Easter Sunday and the Friday before Easter. She is informal, egalitarian and comfortable devising solutions to problems. She has no problem making suggestions to the boss, and she expects to be recognised for her achievements. She always speaks up in meetings. She is punctual and doesn't gossip. If you share private information, it stays private. Mary is happy to lend you office supplies, but you must ask first and return them when you have finished. Like Ivan, she gets uncomfortable if you stand too close.
Nour Al Nasri
Nour is a 35-year-old Muslim Arab who has been in Australia for 25 years. She has two children at primary school and two at secondary school. She is not competitive and likes working as part of a team. She works hard to help all the team meet their objectives.
However, she never speaks up in a meeting unless someone asks for her opinion. Like Ivan, Nour dislikes uncertainty, believes there is one right way to do things, and prefers the Boss to tell her what to do. Unlike Ivan, she is likely to turn up five or ten minutes late for meetings. Nour is happy for people to borrow her things without asking and expects to do the same in return. As a Muslim, she only eats Halal food. Unlike Ivan and Mary, Nour doesn't mind people standing close.
Rajeesh Kahn
Rajeesh is a 25-year old Indian who has been in Australia two years. He has two small children and his wife also works. Although he speaks with an accent, English is his first language. Like Mary, Rajeesh is informal, comfortable devising solutions to problems and happy to make suggestions to the Boss. Also like Mary, he always turns up to meetings on time and shares his opinions. Like Nour, he is happy for people to borrow his things without asking and expects to do the same in return. Also, like Nour, he is comfortable with people standing close, but he doesn't like to be touched. For religious reasons, Rajeesh refuses to eat beef.
Based on the individual difference, please draft the script of the speech, remember explaining each person in the team and their role/involvement and why?
