Q Butterfly Film Festival Transactional Roleplay Script Prime Time Events is a small public relations/event planning company. It opened its doors two years ago and has planned some of Philadelphia’s big events, particularly fundraising events for non-profit organizations. Prime Time Events will be planning a fundraising event for Jefferson Headache Center, one of the few such centers in the country devoted to migraine research. Jefferson sponsored a “Miles for Migraine” walk/run last year and wants to build awareness in the Philadelphia area. Scene 1: Chris (a new employee) is sitting at a desk, reading a brochure. Boss walks in. Boss: Chris, right? Chris: Yes, nice to see you again. Boss: Glad to see you are settled in and ready to get to work. We are a small company, but we do some pretty high-end events. We’ve got an event coming up in six days for Jefferson. The first thing I’m going to have you do is a mail merge for guest badges – get that to me by noon, ok? Chris: Ok. Boss: Then I’ll give you the vendor contacts and you can start calling them to confirm for the date of the event. Sam is handling the music. Pat is handling the catering. You’ll have the rest. With only six days, this is tight, so you’ve really got to dive in, ok? Chris: Ok. ? Scene 2: Pat (who is in charge of catering contracts) is working. Boss walks in. Boss: Pat, have you got everything nailed down with catering for the Jefferson job? Pat: I’m glad you stopped by. Actually, I just got off the phone with the caterer – apparently, there is an occupancy limit of 375 in the room, so the caterer says that the max number of guests for us is 375. We gave them an estimate of 390, remember? Boss: Well, there’s no way anyone’s going to be able to count that many people at a cocktail reception. Plus, it’s hors d’oeuvres - Just tell the caterer we expect 375. Thanks. Boss walks out. Pat: (Hesitantly) Ok. Scene 3: Chris and Pat are talking together. Boss walks in. Boss: I’m heading out – make sure you get the vendors confirmed – last thing we want is a screw up with Jefferson. Boss knocks on table twice, then walks out. Pat & Chris: Bye. Team Goal: Re-write the script so that the boss demonstrates Transformational Leadership behaviors. 1. Create your own document. 2. Copy and paste the script, then edit the script to reflect a more transformational leadership style. 3. Type in your names (if you worked with a team) at the bottom of the google document, save the file, then upload to the drop box by the due date.

Scene 1: Chris (a new employee) is sitting at a desk, reading a brochure. Boss walks in. Leader: Hi Chris. Chris: Hi Leader: How has it been getting settled it? Chris: It’s been great Leader: Good. Nice to know it’s been great for you. I’m excited to have you on the team. I wanted to come by and discuss our upcoming event we are hosting in 6 days. It’s an event for Jefferson. While we are a small company, we host a lot of high scale events. I wanted to come by and talk to you about two tasks I feel you would be able to complete with your skillset. The first tasks would be a mail merge for the guest badges. Is that something you would be able to do?
