The correct answer for the following situation:

A caller becomes irate and demands to speak to your manager, Mrs. Wilson. When you inform the caller that your manager is in a meeting, the caller says, "I know she wants to be interrupted to speak to me!" What is the appropriate response? Is:

Mrs. Wilson can't be contacted now, but I'll give her your name and number as soon as possible.

Explanation:

This is a very problematic situation that we might encounter with impatient and prepotent clients. So, the correct procedure is to talk with facts and assume a solid but gentle position. In our case, Mrs. Wilson was in a meeting. A priority for her, thus we can't interrupt her even when the client is demanding her attention. Therefore, the best solution for the problem is the compromise that the manager will speak with the client when she is available.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
