If you were Rose, how would you go about gaining the commitment of your employees to a project that will last a full seven months and will likely require each person to work overtime and weekends and to forgo vacations for the duration of the project

What will be an ideal response?

Rose must win the commitment of her employees to this project if her company is to complete it successfully. She should consider having a meeting with her entire workforce to explain the importance of the project and what it means to finish it on time. If the workers are willing to commit to the project, Rose might sponsor a celebration at which employees sign "pledge cards," dedicating themselves to completing the project on time. Of course, Rose should consider sharing some of the financial benefits from the project with her employees. She could link performance on the project to financial incentives. She should also establish intermediate objectives as "checkpoints" along the way to completing the project and offer rewards (financial or nonfinancial) to workers if they achieve them.
