I am not interested in coworkers’ problems.

I want to control conversations.

I typically take a realistic, practical view of things.

I prefer to stick with what I know while at work.

I enjoy thinking about “what if” scenarios.

I am deliberate and careful in everything I do at work.

I am interested in coworkers.

Issues at home should not be discussed at work.

The General Manager of one of the divisions of your company recently returned from an industry conference. They are very excited about a leadership development program they learned about from a vendor at this conference. They tell you that the program is exactly what the division needs to “take leadership to the next level” and they are pushing to fast-track approval so they can roll it out in their division. You have looked into the program and have noted that not only is it quite expensive and labor-intensive, but you’re not even sure it aligns with the enterprise’s current leadership strategy or budget priorities. How would you handle this?

I conform to group standards.
