Memo
To:
Simon Barnes
From:
Tony Beech
Subject: Difficulties following merger
As you know, we are ..........
33
a lot of difficulties at present following the
recent merger. We now have people from two different companies
working together, but they are not working effectively as a team. A lot of
the same work is being ..........
34
by different people, and this ..........
35
a lot
of time; meanwhile, other tasks are not being done at all.
Another problem is that the two groups of people have very different
ways of working, but they are not getting together to ..........
36
ideas.
Sometimes, communication ..........
37
completely and then work is ..........
38
while we try to sort the problem out. Everyone blames everyone else and
I think it will be a long time before the team members develop a good
relationship and learn to ..........
39
each other.
It would ..........
40
the company a lot of time and money if we could ..........
41
more effective working practices. We really need to ..........
42
some time
to this. I propose that we schedule a meeting for next Wednesday at 10
a.m. to discuss the issues involved and try to find some solutions.
