You will have to play the role of “Addie” and provide advice (to the letter writer) that showcases your understanding of the course material in 800 words or less. Please see the rubricPreview the document for evaluating your Dear Addie response. Here is the letter:Dear Addie,I’m one member of a highly-visible 4-person team in my organization, and we are seeking a fifth member to help us. Our growing organization prides itself on being “a family,” and so, it is important to me that we choose our fifth member without getting into politics. But because we are a “family”, it’s easy to select members who we “like” over those who are best suited for the role. In fact, one of the existing members has already planted the seed that his niece should join us. I’m not opposed to it but I believe a more defensible process should be set in place. I can’t imagine what reason I’d invent to justify selecting someone’s niece! Can you help me sort through two related issues that I can’t seem to fathom? Outside of my workplace, my friends have tried to minimize my angst by sharing the opinion that office politics will always be there; and this raises the question, “Why bother trying to fight it?” If politicking is going to be around no matter what I do, then am I wasting my time thinking about this? Second, if I get support for standardizing the hiring process (to eliminate politicking behaviors), then I’d like to know your top three tips for selecting team members.-Putting the “Aye Yai Yai” in Team I did wrote intro and 3tips so your work is completed this assignment.(don’t count the words i already work )
