Most of his work is done on a project basis and, as a manager, he is responsible for the quality of work that is produced and for meeting deadlines, as the nature of his work involves meeting deadlines, achieving certain objectives, and hitting targets. On most days of the week, there is often extra work to be done on a project, and Freed stays late in the office or brings his work home. Occasionally, his director and colleagues find him missing important information in a meeting because he was thinking about something else.People sometimes think about something other than what they’re doing. Their minds wander, whether they are trying to read important emails, speaking to clients, updating the sales figures, or talking to colleagues, creating barriers in communication not only for themselves but also their receivers. Justify this statement in keeping with the…
