Answer:
I will:
b) Hold meetings with employees, volunteers, and representatives of other local shelters and listen carefully as they brainstorm ideas.
c) Honestly acknowledge the challenges the organization faces while also communicating optimism about finding the resources to fulfill your mission.
Explanation:
a) Withholding information about the organization's financial picture will not make employees to be loyal. They are likely to find out the true position sooner than later. If information is withheld and they find out later, they would never be loyal. They would certainly leave the organization before financing is found for the organization sustenance.
b) Deceiving people by staying in the office and maintaining a "poker face" is not an option either. "Poker face" cannot last forever. One day, the true picture will show on the face. Deception is not an art for business progress.
