The correct option is A a) Inappropriate since senior managers need to consider the views of officers implementing the programme
Form the statement of the problem it is clear the Deshmukh is meeting field officers to discuss a strategy for implementing a new programme. In such meeting senior officers should try to understand implementation issues in great details so that the programme is properly implemented. The style of Mr Deshmukh is quite contrary to this desirable practice. It is not polite to talk about one’s career assignment unless the situation demands. It is not necessary for Mr Deshmukh to claim that he understands the logistic problems expected in rainy season.
So the correct answer choice is (a).
(b) No doubt some officers may come up with excuse. But Deshmukh should explain why an excuse is not acceptable. Listening is not dispensable.
(c) Noboday is stopping Mr. Deshmukh form giving clear direction about the modalities of implementation. That he should do without being brusque or dismissive.
(d) is not a correct answer choice. When a new programme is proposed to be implemented there would always be matters of detail requiring to be sorted out
