You are a man and have been sent to work on a project in Central America. You will be based in Mexico for about a year. Your objective is to establish a new SAP-based database system in all the sales offices of the region. Your team is international, but you bave two local project members: one of them, Martine, is Mexican and a very nuccessful brand manager. You respect her work but find her very personal in how she relates to you. She tends to shure her personal problems as much as the professional, telling you about difficulties she has at home and with one or two colleagues in the team. At first, you appreciated her emotional honesty, but now you feel it negatively influences her judgement. She got upset and even cried in your office recently when she told you about her mother's illness. You would like to get the relationship back on a more professional basis. Do you ... a) Ask her colleague, the other local project member, to talk to her and explain that she can't continue getting so emotionally upset at work b) Talk to Martine yourself and explain that she needs to separate her private and professional life in future c) Talk to the whole team about the need to focus on key deliverables and not be distracted over the next few months d) Accept that Martine is an emotional person and needs to have the opportunity to express herself sometimes e) Accept Martine's behaviour for this project but determine never to let yourself get so close to a colleague in future
