Consider the scenario below.  Francesca is an engineering manager for Raytheon. She oversees a team of engineers working on a satellite monitoring project for the U.S. Department of Defense. Francesca has set up project tasks that align with the overall project objectives, assigning specific tasks to specific team members. One of her engineers, Bryant, often completes tasks not assigned to him.
