There are some people who are fun to do favors for, and others who aren’t. Joe is in the second category. When Gloria asked if he wanted her list of qualified leads for his calls, he said,
- Sure.
Gloria’s offer was very generous, and a more enthusiastic response would have been appropriate. Joe’s luke-warm response made her feel less inclined to offer him favors in the future.

Joe’s got a lot to learn about people relations. Team work is a key ingrediate in today’s world on almost every level but especailly in business. Joe’s response not only made Gloria feel less inclined to make offers in the future but it also stymied the chance to nourish collabroative efforts.
Unfortunately, if these points were brought to to Joe’s attention, he would probably respond with another “Sure” or a “Whatever”.
