Every month each employee in your department is expected to

Every month, each employee in your department is expected to give a brief oral presentation on status of his or her project. However, your department has recently hired an employee, originally from Asia, with a heavy accent that prevents people from understanding most of what he has to say. What can the team do to resolve this dilemma? How can they employ the functional roles discussed on p. 36?

We can add an element to the oral brief/presentation given by each employee. The transcript and related documents can be shared before the start of the brief/presentation so that the other employees at least have a fair idea on what the asian employee is talking about.
