You are an electrical engineer with extensive experience in managing transmission projects, but limited experience with electronic design projects. However, in a stretch assignment, you have been recently transferred to another department in your company that focuses on electronic design. Further, you have been asked to lead a very important project involving both transmission and electronic design. In preparation for a meeting with your manager to discuss this opportunity, you review the initial project design brief. There are a number of items within this document that are unclear to you because of your lack of background in design. When you arrive at your meeting, your manager asks if you will be leading the project. How do you respond?

A. Accept the project and note your manger that your expertise in transmission makes you an ideal manager for this project.

B. Decline the project, citing your lack of experience in electronics design.

C. Accept the project, but do not discuss your qualifications or lack thereof.

D. State that you would like to lead the project, but you must disclose that your primary domain of expertise is transmission, and that you may need supplementary training in electronics design.
