Your partner in a volunteer group takes last-minute changes personally and withdraws. How to bring them back?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
1) Ignore and continue without them
This may worsen the situation and damage teamwork.
2) Blame them for overreacting
Blaming can hurt their feelings more and create conflict.
3) Replace them silently
This is unfair and does not solve the relationship problem.
4) Acknowledge their feelings, explain reasons, and invite their input for future decisions
The best solution is to talk to them respectfully, understand their feelings, and explain why the changes happened. Also inviting their ideas for future decisions makes them feel valued and included. This helps rebuild trust and encourages them to participate again.
Therefor, option (4) is the correct answer.
