A student thinks that a teammate is overloaded with tasks. The student takes over one of the teammate's tasks without asking whether the teammate wants this or telling the group leader. How appropriate is this action?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Appropriate, though a better response exists
- Step 1: Offering practical help to a colleague is supportive and shows teamwork. Step 2. Helping without asking can cause duplication or hide a workload problem the leader should know about. Answer: Appropriate, though a better response exists. Why not the others: It is more than 'not harmful' because it helps, and it falls short of 'very appropriate' because the teammate and leader were not consulted.
