Question

You are doing a group project for school. A fellow student, Amy, has been reporting the progress of your group to your

professor in such a way that it appears that she is the leader and the "idea person in the group. This is not true since her
contributions have been about equal to the others. The other group members don't know she has been talking to your
professor about her work in the group at the expense of others (and maybe even making others look unproductive). You
know what Amy is doing. You like Amy and work well with her. You feel, however, that her approaching the professor
and providing inaccurate reporting of the group's progress will ultimately undermine the others in the group.
Questions:
Considering your relationship with Amy, what are your options, short of saying nothing? How would you handle this
conflict?

Answer 1

I would talk to her and let her know what she is doing isnt right and that we all deserve to be somewhat the leaders of the group since we all equally worked on the project and that she is making us look bad, so I would drop her but if were really close friends then I just wouldn't talk to her for a little bit so she regrets what she has done and apologizes for making the group look bad.
