Wait, they want me to identify the *exception*? Oh, I get it - it's like a trick question. The correct answer must be C. Giving the employees that kind of authority? What is this, a democracy?

Management probably wants to maintain control over the direction of the company.

Yeah, it could lead to chaos if everyone has the power to make major decisions.

I think you're right, giving employees authority to change work processes seems risky.

I think the correct answer is C as well. Giving the EI teams the authority to change work processes would be too much power. We don't want the inmates running the asylum, now do we?

It's important for management to set clear boundaries for the EI teams.

Ha! I bet the test writers thought they were being clever with this one. But I've got it - the answer is C. No way are you giving those pesky employees the power to change things. That's what management is for!

But doesn't a successful EI program require management to clearly identify and define the problems to be solved?

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I feel like all of these are important requirements for a successful EI program. Maybe they're trying to trick us with this question?

I think the correct answer is C. Providing the EI teams with authority to change work processes is not a requirement for a successful EI program. The teams need to have the ability to influence changes, not necessarily the authority to make changes on their own.
