Takashi and Kelly are both Senior Associates who have worked closely together for the past two years. Kelly notices that lately Takashi is not contributing as much as he used to in meetings and brainstorming sessions. She thinks he might be feeling excluded since other team members' ideas have been given more attention than his on their last project. 3 What would be the best action for Kelly to take? Kelly should ask Takashi how he is feeling, and use active listening during the conversation. Kelly should ignore the situation since Takashi may have other reasons for not contributing. Kelly should discuss with Takashi and offer to share his ideas with the team if he is not comfortable contributing directly. Kelly should encourage Takashi not to take the situation personally, and give him an example of a time one of his ideas was used in the past
