John from sales has just sent you an e-mail. He needs a decision made on the Johnson account as soon as possible. You can make the decision, but you feel like you’d like to ask your boss for her advice. Unfortunately, she is in a business meeting, and the decision needs to be made very soon. You decide to take the initiative and ______.
a.
Interrupt your boss to make the decision
b.
Ask a coworker to make the decision
c.
Wait to make the decision
d.
Make the decision

Answer 1

d. Make the decision

Rationale: The decision is urgent and you have the authority to decide. Interrupting your boss is inappropriate, waiting risks harm/delay, and asking a coworker may not be appropriate if they're not accountable. After deciding, inform your boss of the action and your reasoning.
