You lead a project team working on a high$-$stakes launch. Two team members, Sarah and David, are in conflict over the project's direction.

B$)$ Support David because data$-$driven decisions are always the best.

C$)$ Have them present their arguments to the whole team and decide collaboratively.

D$)$ Make a quick decision yourself to avoid further delays.

$$ Choose A$,$ B$,$ C$,$ or D$.$
