You Decide!
Read the following statements. Carefully decide on the best thing to do when faced with these
situations. Then, write your insights on a clean sheet of paper.

would you handle this situation?

respectfully.

reasons calmly. In hindsight, I could have communicated my choice earlier to avoid misunderstandings.

for help?

uncertain or need guidance.
