Planning and Organizing - Cutting Edge Communication Comedy Series

Serena arrives in town two days early and discovers Marcus and Carol have not planned the upcoming conference and they each have different ideas. Marcus suggests Serena is a distraction and he and Carol make jokes about it. Serena says distraction is an issue they all need to deal with individually, and she reminds them both that she has the power to dismiss them.  Other team members comment on planning and organizing strategies. Serena sets 15 minutes for Marcus, Carol and herself to set some goals and they quickly begin making constructive suggestions and plans for the conference.  Serena reinforces that to plan effectively is to always establish how much, and by when.
