Question

Compose a 200-300 word memo in Microsoft Word to a superior indicating that person’s strengths as a manager. Include a tactful recommendation regarding one thing they could do differently to be even more effective as a manager

Answer 1

TO: Manager
FROM: Your Team
DATE: February 9, 2013
SUBJECT: Recommendation

First and foremost, we would like to extend our appreciation to you for your guidance and support as our manager. We would like to thank you for staying positive during hard times and leading us in the right direction to reach our company’s project goal this year. As the caring person that you are, you see the importance of providing a safe and secure working environment as well as consistent interaction with your employees inside of the organization. Your willingness to motivate us as a team contributed to getting closer to reaching our company goals this year.

One thing we would like to bring to your attention is the unnecessary rambling that partakes in our weekly meetings. There have been complaints about the duration and overall meaning of these meetings amongst our team members. The obvious truth is that ineffective and unproductive meetings almost always lead to bad decisions. We feel the discussion should stay on track by only discussing what pertains to achieving our company goals. A quick 15-20 minute meeting should be sufficient enough in giving everyone a chance to provide feedback and be up to date with the company goals and our current standings. We appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge this recommendation and help us all excel in the workplace.

Our Best Regards,

Your Team
