The general manager, U.K. for Inglewood Instrument Co. (Inglewood) is sitting outside of his company’s headquarters in Burnaby, B.C., waiting for a meeting with the founder of the company to clarify his future as the firm’s general manager, U.K. The general manager suspects that the founder and the vice-president Business Development, are actively trying to find a replacement for the general manager, U.K. position. As the general manager is barely one year into a two year contract, he feels shortchanged by the fact that the opportunity, which he uncovered, is being taken away from him. He knows that he needs to strike the correct balance between fact-gathering and advocacy. He needs to uncover what the founder has in mind for his career at Inglewood. The general manager wonders how he should prioritize his issues and how he should approach the conversation.
