faced a dilema about one of his employees, an investment banker named Rob Parson. Rob
Parson is a highly talented and successful investment banker at Morgan Stanley who is up for
promotion to managing director. However according to his performance review, it might be hard
for Rob Parson to get the promotion. Rob Parson is known for being a highly successful and
productive banker, but also for his aggressive and abrasive personality, which has caused

to managing director despite his behavior and whether his contribution to the firm justifies his
personality.
