Go through the caselet below and answer the questions that follow. A sudden and violent dengue epidemic has broken out in a remote village in Northern India.
The District Medical Officer, Dr Mishra, has urgently requested his seniors for medical and monetary aid. Mr Kamat, the Health Secretary of the state, has received the request and forwarded it to his counterpart in the Finance Department, Mr Sinha, the Finance Secretary. Mr Sinha says he cannot grant any monetary aid till he has the exact figures of the number of people affected and the extent of the impact of the epidemic. Only based on those figures can he decide how much money can be allocated. Mr Kamat has asked the medical officer for these figures, but Dr Mishra is too busy trying to control the epidemic and says that he does not have the time or the resources to waste on gathering data - all his people are busy trying to meet the needs of the villagers. Meanwhile, newspapers have reported that more people are unnecessarily being afflicted by the epidemic due to the “inefficiency and red-tapism” in the State Health Department. As a result, the Health Minister Mr. Shukla has come down harshly on the Health Secretary for not having taken decisive action.
Q.
The Health Minister orders Mr Kamat, the Health Sectretary, to prepare a media write­up, detailing the efforts of the Health Department in controlling the epidemic. He plans to send this report to all the leading news teams, in an attempt to save face. One hour later, he calls Mr Kamat and demands to know why the report is not yet ready. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way in which Mr Kamat should respond?
  • a)
    The kind of report you want is not easy to write. I am doing my best. Please give me more time.
  • b)
    By when do you want the report completed?
  • c)
    I am giving this report top priority, but there are a lot of other things that need my immediate attention as well.
  • d)
    I am still gathering the data required for this report. However, I shall complete the report and hand it to you by 4 pm.
  • e)
    I will require more time to prepare this report.

Go through the caselet below and answer the questions that follow. A s...
Option 1 is too vague with ‘more time’ - how much more time?
Option 2 may be good, but the superior's response may be unreasonable, which would lead to further discussion.
Option 3 indicates that Mr Kamat is working on other things and not really giving this task top priority. Option 4 is an assertive and polite way of asking for time - with a promise to finish it by that time. Both parties can be satisfied with such a response. Option 5 is vague as Mr Kamat is not giving a proper time frame to his superior.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
