Walter.One way is she should understand her position and
designation and should not drive away by emotional feelings

conversations with Walter first outside the premises of office
to make him feel comfortable and she should not become
dominant over Walter initially.

ineffective to carry on the venture. Why or why not ?

out the strategies that might lead to failure of venture. She
should have an eye on the work of Walter .If he is found loyal

second venture cannot become successful every time. On the
other hand she should also be loyal towards his designation
and should dismiss him if he was found not serious towards his
work.
