      Question

      During a project handover, you notice that a coworker

      has missed a critical deadline that affects your ability to start your part of the work. You are currently in a group progress meeting. What is the most professional way to handle this?
      A Bring up the missed deadline immediately in front of the group so everyone knows why your part is late. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Stay silent during the meeting and wait to see if the manager notices the delay on their own. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Mention the dependency during the meeting in a neutral way, then follow up privately to offer help or adjust timelines. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Criticize the coworker's time management skills during the meeting to ensure it doesn't happen again. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The best action is to address the project's needs while maintaining professional relationships. Option 'C' allows the team to stay informed about the project timeline without publicly shaming the coworker. A neutral statement like, "I'm ready to start my phase as soon as the previous step is completed," keeps the focus on the workflow. Option 'A' can be perceived as "throwing a colleague under the bus," which damages trust. Option 'B' is counterproductive as it leads to project delays and lack of transparency. Option 'D' is unprofessional and creates a hostile work environment. Hence, option C.
