- Participants were divided into five small groups and were asked to reflect on each scenario as though they were a new supervisor at CSB/SJU. Three of the groups were asked to also think about the scenarios as though they were a new supervisor at a for-profit business (Target, Best Buy, etc.), and two of the groups were asked to also think about the scenarios as though they were a new supervisor at a non-profit business (Boys & Girls Club, Government, etc.)
- Participants then discussed each of these scenarios in their small groups and then shared their responses with the entire group.
