[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 38083, member: 2672"] You need to take the word "most" and "least" as literal - all the answers will be appropriate ways of dealing with the task, it is just one will be deemed the [B]least[/B] effective. It isn't saying it is an ineffective way of dealing with this, it is just not as effective as the other methods. To me why the above is "least" effective [LIST] [*]You have to speak to multiple people rather than one, therefore wasting your time and other people's [*]The other people may not know the status of the task, as like you, they may not have been copied into any response emails [*]You are not speaking to the person who is responsible for the project, just others who have only worked on part of it. The person who will deem it complete is the associate who is asking for help, not necessarily the person who volunteers [*]You are assuming help would be from one person - it may be from multiple people, therefore making all of the above even murkier [*]It seems a bit unlikely any task would be completed in a few hours based on the associate only asking for volunteers earlier in the day - the associate may have allocated tasks, but its unlikely they will be complete [*]You are assuming a reply-all email is the most appropriate way to get a quick answer - what if your colleagues don't read the email because they are busy. Take the word "speak" as the most effective answer as literal. [/LIST] You just have to focus on the decision making on the information presented to you. Try not to get caught up in the external variables that could be in place that are not listed in the statement. Just make a decision based on the information you are presented with. [/QUOTE]
