Ulrich finishes college with a degree in computer science. One of his favorite aspects of the discipline is that it is a fairly solitary endeavor. In school he got to work on projects by himself with little social interaction, and that is just how he likes it. After accepting a position as a programmer at VitalTech Resources, he is surprised to learn that he is required to s make a weekly progress report in front of the sales and marketing departments. The mere prospect makes him lightheaded and sweaty. He confesses his misgivings to his supervisor, who pairs him up with a more experienced programmer, Alison. She has been making these kinds of reports for years, and tells him not to worry. With Alison's help, Ulrich is able to feel more confident about making his presentation. He falters
a few times during his first attempt, but Alison coaches him on ways to improve, and he is eventually able to confidently deliver a ten-minute report to a room full of thirty people. The arrangement between Alison and Ulrich is an example of
A. diversity culture.
B. mentoring.
C. acclimation.
D. a realistic job preview.
