Were You Instructed to Distort the Truth? - Answer D
You are on a proposal-writing team. In the orientation
briefing the head of the team gives the following guidance: "We
really have to win this one. I want you to be really optimistic
in what you write." How do you interpret her advice?
Answer D: "I'm a super conservative person. I don't slant
my numbers, no matter how much we need to win."
Lockheed Martin's Comment: 0 points
Be careful that super-conservatism does not equate to
defensive writing.
