Dear Sir:
Thank you for submitting the resumes of the twelve men you have picked for management
positions in your new organization. All of them have now taken our battery of tests;
and we have not only run the results through our computer, but have also arranged
personal interviews for each of them with our psychologist and vocational aptitude
consultant.
The profiles of all the tests are included, and you will want to study each of them
carefully.
As part of our service and for your guidance, we make some general comments much
as an auditor will include some general statements. This is given as a result of
staff consultation and comes without any additional fee.
It is the staff opinion that most of your nominees are lacking in background, education
and vocational aptitude for the type of enterprise you are undertaking. They do
not have the team concept. We would recommend that you continue your search for
persons of experience in managerial ability and proven capability.
Simon Peter is emotionally unstable and given to fits of temper. Andrew has absolutely
no qualities of leadership. The two brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
place personal interest above company loyalty. Thomas demonstrates a questioning
attitude that would tend to undermine morale. We feel that it is our duty to tell
you that Matthew has been blacklisted by the Greater Jerusalem Better Business Bureau.
James, son of Alpheus, and Thaddaeus definitely have radical leanings, and they
both registered a high score on the manic-depressive scale.
One of the candidates, however, shows great potential. He is a man of ability and
resourcefulness, meets people well, has a keen business mind and has contacts in
high places. He is highly motivated, ambitious, and responsible. We recommend Judas
Iscariot as your controller and right-hand man. All of the other profiles are self-
explanatory.
We wish you every success in your new venture.
Sincerely yours,
Jordan Management Consultants
