2. What mistakes did Clarissa make as she worked on the United Way proposal?
3. Do you think it was appropriate for Clarissa to ask Helen to help? Why or why not?
4. Do you think that delegating the task of requesting support letters to Helen was a good idea? Why or Why not?
5. Do you think that the United Way staff members were fair in the award they gave to Services to Schools? Why or why not? How might “politics” have influenced their decision?
