question

Given the story, how would you uniquely allocate each person to make sure both tasks are accomplished efficiently?

narrative

In the dynamic realm of publishing at Raven Books, an intriguing narrative unfolds. Emily, Richard, and Nicole stand at the heart of this tale, their roles yet to be defined. The tasks at hand - editing and graphic designing - beckon for their skills, presenting a compelling conundrum for the manager. The stage is set, the characters are ready, and the grand puzzle of assignment allocation awaits its resolution.

Emily, a diligent worker, had valuable experience working on manuscripts for several years. She had proven herself efficient in editing for a well-regarded scholar. Her work was always finalized with minimal changes. Despite these qualities, Emily had her fair share of setbacks. Her team projects with Richard had always missed deadlines. Richard had even accused Emily of finding unwarranted faults in his work.

Emily's creativity had once led her to a garage sale, trying to sell one of her graphic designs; her attempt was unsuccessful. She was not a novice in the field of arts. She had, indeed, started her academic journey as a major in pictorial arts. However, her lack of brilliance in the subject made her switch to language studies. And it was around this time she had blamed Nicole for a mistake that wasn't the latter's fault. 

Nicole, the one slighted by Emily, had her work returned multiple times for corrections. This wasn’t surprising given that she had a habitual negligence towards the correct usage of tenses. She had once volunteered to help with a graphic designing project, only to slow the process down. Her co-workers had since been politely declining her offers for help in graphic designing. But this defiance did little to dissuade her. Her collaborations with Richard weren’t exactly meteoric but managed to yield satisfactory results nonetheless.

Richard, who found himself in the middle of the storm, had shown resilience where others might falter. He had initially pursued a graphic designing course in college, but the allure of words was too powerful for him to resist, leading him to switch majors. His corrections always led to better content that required less intervention in further stages. He occasionally volunteered to proofread drafts from different departments and even helped out the graphic designing team whenever they were short-staffed. His previous collaborations with Nicole hadn't set the world on fire, but they did manage to deliver satisfactory results. 

The glorious and tumultuous journey of Emily, Nicole, and Richard was a testament to their unique abilities and contributions. How the tasks of editing and graphic designing would be assigned, is a tale for another day. And no matter what, Raven Books had to find the perfect balance and make the grand puzzle work.
