- Reducing conflict/fostering collaboration

A fellow worker, Alice, has been reporting to the boss the progress of your group in such a way that it appears that she is the central force and the "ideas 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 advancing her position in the organisation at the expense of others (and maybe even making others look unproductive). You know what Alice is doing. Alice is slightly above you in rank, and you like her and work well with her. You feel, however, that her easy and regular access to the boss and inaccurate reporting of the group's progress will ultimately undermine the others in the group.

What could you do to reduce conflict and foster collaboration?
