The given scenario involves Joseph and Krystal, who are members of a shared social group and have joined Missile’s Financial Services as middle managers. Each of them reports to a different senior manager, who, in turn, reports to the Managing Director. Periodically, after payday, Joseph, Krystal, and other members of their social group attempt to have lunch together. Joseph expresses distress about his recent experiences with Nicholas, his manager. The issue revolves around a meeting with a new supplier aimed at finalizing a contract. Despite having engaged with the supplier for over two and a half months and reaching a preliminary agreement on costs, Joseph struggled to get Nicholas to review and approve the contract details in the preceding two weeks. The supplier is deemed crucial, offering fast services, a reputable product line, and a favorable cost, even willing to customize stationary at no extra expense. Despite Joseph's efforts, Nicholas, consistently occupied, only briefly glanced at the contract and the team's recommendations. During the meeting with the supplier, Nicholas abruptly declared the proposed cost as unacceptable, questioning the calculations. This left Joseph embarrassed, especially considering the extensive efforts invested by his team in the negotiation process. Joseph laments Nicholas's dominating approach during the meeting, leading to the contract's eventual signing with only superficial alterations, resulting in the same overall cost. Frustrated, Joseph expresses dissatisfaction with Nicholas's seclusion in his office, raising questions about the manager's activities.   If tasked with formulating a workplace communication protocol for Missile’s Financial Services based on the provided scenario, what communication methods and barriers would you incorporate, considering three of each, to address the challenges faced by Joseph, Krystal, and Nicholas?
