Business 102: Friday, Period 3, Class 7
The person at the front of the classroom was... not Jim, today. Well, unless he'd been hit by some sort of Fandom weirdness that turned him into a teenager who resembled his TA. But considering that he was actually present, that was not the case. It was most definitely Bobby at the front of the classroom.
"So, uh. Delegating responsibility!" Bobby started, not at all nervously. "So sometimes, you get to be in charge of stuff... which is great. Right? Except then sometimes there's way too much for one person to do, or there's something you really don't want to do, which is where the delegating comes in." And okay, most of his experience up until now with being delegated responsibility involved things like 'hold off these Sentinels while we destroy the factory making them' which he couldn't exactly use as an example, but whatever. "You don't wanna make it seem like you're giving anyone the crappy job, so it's good to use words like 'trust' and 'responsibility'. You know, like "You're the only one I can trust to get this done properly" or "It's a big responsibility, but I chose you because I know you can handle it". And that's, uh. That's all I got!"

Activity!
"So, delegating responsibility." Jim grabbed a sack, opened it up, and poured a bunch of blocks on he floor. They were your regular blocks with letters because somebody in the room had a nephew who was too old for that. "And now Bobby gets the other side of delegation. Something needs to be built out of these blocks and he's in charge of the project. Feel free to boss your classmates around, give them jobs to do, tell them a general direction, or just sit back and let them do whatever they want. Just remember, it's your grade on the line."
Like Jim was really grading anyone.
"Okay guys," Bobby said, clapping his hands once. "It's a big responsibility, but I know you're ready for it." You see what he did there? You see? Yeah. "Our, um, client, wants a replica of their favorite castle made out of blocks. You," he pointed to someone at random, "you're in charge of turrets. Other important specifications? The colors of the blocks can't mingle, and no vowels can be facing the outside. Go to it!"
