Superb Communication - Too too good

Programmer to Team Leader: "We can't do this proposed project. **CAN NOT**. It will involve a major design change and no one in our team knows the design of this legacy system. And above that, nobody in our company knows the language in which thisapplication has been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take these type of projects."Team Leader to Project Manager :"This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any staff that has experience in this type of work. Also, the language isunfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project of this nature."Project Manager to 1st Level Manager : "This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have muchexperience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we might be able to dothe project but we would need more time than usual to complete it." 1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager :"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who haveworked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So they can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project, but with caution."Senior Level Manager to CEO :"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the necessaryskills and people to execute this project successfully. Some people havealready given in house training in this area to other staff members. In my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under anycircumstances."CEO to Client :"This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust mewhen I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this project successfully and well within the given time frame.
