1 APPROVAL TO JOIN APPROPRIATE PROJECT From:.... To...(official email id of Mr Walker) Subject: Request for approval to join projects other than Project Awe Dear Dr Walker, I take this opportunity to thank you for recognising my talent and nominating me as a member of Team Project Awe.I really appreciate your thoughts towards me though I am leaving in a few months’ time. I also take this opportunity to express my gratitudegiving me the opportunity to work with Jobsco Limited. I have learnt a lot while working with my seniors and juniors. I would like convey my due respect for your for the leadership and guidance you have always given me. My current boss, Mr .... has also been instrumental in giving my future a great push.I would like to attract your kind attention towards a number of facts regarding Project Awe. Sir, I have been involved with Project Awe in the past and have had a fair share of experience of working in it. The activities of Project Awe are unrelated to my domain and would in no way, contribute towards the development of my career in future. The team members of the team lack coordination among themselves and the project lack streamlining nature, which is required for the project to meet with success. The members lack coordination while working on the project and conflicts impair the productivity of the project. I would still readily follow your orders if you insist on my joining Project Awe. However, I would like to make a suggestion which I consider asBest Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement(BATNA). Sir, there are two other projects going on in M/s Jobsco Limited one of which is Project Upgrade under the leadership of my present boss, Mr ..... I have been reporting to Mr..., my present boss for almost a decade. We share a great professional relationship and
2 APPROVAL TO JOIN APPROPRIATE PROJECT rapport with each other. There exists a commendable level of understanding between us and that enables us to collaborate better. Mr ... is aware about my strengths and weaknesses, my skills, areas of expertise and capability of taking challenges. Similarly, I am well aware about his expectations from me as my reporting manager. As a result, I look forward to join Project Upgrade, which is under the leadership of Mr.... I would like to point that compared to working in Project Awe, working on Project Upgrade has the potential to contribute to my experience and career growth. The employees working on Project Upgrade are highly skilled and share a great level of cooperation among them. The project experience very low level of conflict due to this high level of understanding. The leader of the project team Mr..., my current boss is a very leader and ensures almost no conflict within the team. He in order to avoid conflicts of opinions among the team members provides the Best Alternative to a NegotiatedAgreement.Hefollowsfocusnegotiationstrategywhereheallowshis subordinates to choose their responsibility according to their expertise and experiences. This encourages a sense of responsibility among them. They are able to take up responsibilities in areas where they can perform the best. This result minimises the chances of conflicts among them.Thismotivatesthemtoperformefficientlywhichcontributestowardshigh performance of the team.Another conflict management strategy Mr...uses to avoid conflict within his team to the extent possible is target negotiation. He allows his subordinates to decide the targets who would achieve during a given time period, after the minimum target predetermined by him. The followers then have to declare the target set by them for themselves in writing. The departmental head then after the expiry of the period, for which the target is set, compares the target achieved against the target set before to judge the performance of the employees. Since the employees themselves set the target, there remains little chance of conflicts. Mr ...., my current boss and the project manager of the project, Project Upgrade, fixes the minimum targets of the employees based on their experience,

Mr... ensures that senior employees with years of experiences fix higher targets for themselves compared to the junior employees. This factor motivates the employees to achieve higher targets. These two conflict management methods help the project manager of Project Upgrade to control conflict between his subordinates and himself. The leadership quality and the efficient conflict management tactics of Mr... contribute towards the high performance of Project Upgrade. I can also point out that Project Upgrade would become one of the most sought after projects and its products would be in high demand in the market. Keeping the above discussion in light, it is my earnest request to your good self to allow me to join Project Upgrade. I would highly obliged if you honour my humble plea.
