HIT AND MISS MANUFACTURING: A Star is Born The head of HR deparment, Atty. Mila Bravo was directed by the company president to act as leader of a committee whose task is to revise and update the current compensation scheme of the company. The president designated the following as members of the committee: 1. The accountant 2. The executive secretary 3. An employee in one of the operating units 4. An officer of the labor union 5. The internal auditor 6. A representative from the public During the first meeting, the seven members were all present.

He tried to communicate with the public representative asking for information about developments in the committee’s work. Outside of the meetings, he indicated to one member his objections to some of the matters that were deliberated and approved by the committee. As the meetings progressed and without his active participation, he made piecemeal reports to the president.
