During a snow storm, the assistant cook (AC) can't get to work. The person working in the "floater" position is unable to take over all AC responsibilities but is somewhat confident and is willing to assist the head cook in preparing items on the daily production schedule. To be most effective, what would be the manager's approach? -Provide specific instructions (ie, "do this") to the willing employee and closely supervise performance. -Define roles and tasks for the willing employee, provide opportunity for role clarification and questions, and give support. -Listen to the willing employee, share ideas, facilitate in decision making, encourage, and praise. -Turn over responsibility for decisions and implementation to the willing employee and head cook.
