Question : Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:
Once upon a time, a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the typical "glass half empty or glass half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, "How heavy is this glass of water I'm holding?" Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple of pounds. She replied, "From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn't matter. It all depends on how long I hold it.

If I hold it for a minute or two, it's fairly light. If I hold it for an hour straight, its weight might make my arm ache a little. If I hold it for a day straight, my arm will likely cramp up and feel completely numb and paralyzed, forcing me to drop the glass to the floor. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me." As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, "Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and you begin to ache a little. Think about them all day long, and you will feel completely numb and paralyzed incapable of doing anything else until you drop them."

Option 3: The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.
 

Option 4: The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.

 

Option 5: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.

 


Solution : The correct answer is (d) The assertion is incorrect, but the reason is correct.

The assertion that lower-level management is responsible for creating long-term strategic plans is incorrect. Strategic planning is typically the responsibility of senior leadership, such as the CEO, executive team, and board of directors. Lower-level management may be involved in the planning process, but they are not primarily responsible for creating the strategic plan.

The reason given for the assertion, that lower-level management has a better understanding of the organization's day-to-day operations, is correct. However, this does not mean that they are better equipped to create long-term strategic plans. Strategic planning requires a broader perspective, including consideration of the organization's mission, vision, values, and external environment. Senior leadership is better positioned to take this broader perspective and to develop a strategic plan that will guide the organization over the long term.
