service truck to and from the various jobs Every so often you get a new truck to exchange for an old one, and you have the problem of deciding which of your crew members you should give the new truck Often there are hard feelings, since each seems to feel entitled to the new truck, so you have a tough time being fair As a matter of fact, it usually turns out that whatever you decide is considered wrong by most of the crew You now have to face the issue again because a new truck has just been allocated to you for assignment In order to handle this problem you have decided to put the decision up to the crew You will tell them about the new truck and will put the problem in terms of what would be the fairest way to assign the truck Do not take a position yourself, because you want to what they think is most fair Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc publishing as Prentice Hall 8–34 Behavior Modeling Behavior Modeling Training Model the effective behaviors Have trainees role play using
