Answer: C. Recognise situations in which she must flex to a different style, something her predecessor, also a reflective, failed to do

Explanation: Given that her predecessor, with all qualities, as well as way of reserved behaviour and handling new situations, caused many problems with majority, Gina should strive to correct such traits if any. If she does not have a trait like her predecessor then she should simply correct her predecessor's relationship policy and impose her proactive and flexible traits. This means changing the previous style of treatment and imposing a new one, that is, her reflective style of communication, but also improving the way and speed of decision making according to the realistic pace of requests. Also express sympathy and team spirit and work with colleagues.
