Aisha: It’s only a matter of time
before I retire and hand over the
reins to someone else.
Javier: That won’t happen for years.
Aisha: It’ll happen sooner than you think. I’ve
given a lot of thought to the person I want
to fill my shoes. After long
consideration, I think that person
should be you.
Javier: Me? But there are a lot of people who
outrank me in this organization and
who have more experience.
Aisha: That may be true, but I’ve decided to
make you my protégé. I’m
taking you under my wing starting
now to
groom as my successor.
Javier: I don’t know what to say. I’m honored,
of course, but aren’t you going to meet with a
lot of resistance by choosing me
instead of someone more senior?
Aisha: I might, but I have confidence in you.
With a little time, you’ll come into your
own and you’ll make a fine leader for this
organization.
Javier: All I can say is thank you for having
faith in me.
Aisha: The opportunity is yours and it’s up
to you what you make of it.
Javier: I know that this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity. I won’t let you
down.
Aisha: I’m counting on that.
