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. Bryant tends to get excited by new ideas related to satellite technology and spends his time working on the new ideas rather than his assigned tasks. To put it simply, when Bryant gets an idea (even if it’s crazy), he runs with it! While Francesca does not think Bryant avoids his assigned tasks out of malice, she is worried that Bryant missing tasks could put the project in jeopardy.  What would you recommend to Francesca?  Be specific and justify your recommendations.  Your response should be 4-8 sentences in length.  This is your time to show me what you know!
