Megan should approach Cindy professionally to discuss the situation. While Cindy wanted a higher-level document and Sarah wanted comprehensive details, Megan found Sarah's approach better represented the company's needs. Megan needs to convince Cindy of this and that the priority is meeting the company's needs, not either manager's individual preferences. Given Megan's previous positive working relationship with Cindy, she is in a position to have this discussion respectfully and make Cindy understand the rationale for choosing Sarah's approach.

MEGAN NEEDS TO MAKE A PROPER DECISION BY APPROACHING CINDY
IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND HAVE A DISCUSSION ON HER ETHICAL POINT OF VIEW. S HE WAS CONFUSED AND IT WAS REALLY VERY DIFFICULT FOR HER TO TAKE PROPER DECISION WHETHER TO FOLLOW SARAH OR CINDY . AFTER COMPLETION OF HER REPORT MEGAN BEGAN TO CREATE HER REPORT , & SENT IT ON TO C INDY , S ARAH, AND OTHER MANAGERS FOR FEEDBACK AND REVISIONS . A FTER THIS MEGAN FOUND HERSELF IN THE MIDDLE OF EACH MANAGERS WITH THEIR DIFFERENT OPINIONS .
CINDY FELT THE DOCUMENT SHOULD BE WRITTEN AT A “HIGHER
LEVEL,” AND DID NOT WANT TO CONFUSE NEW TRAINEES WITH “ ONCE IN A BLUE MOON ” SCENARIOS THAT COULD BE HANDLED ON A CASE -BY - CASE BASIS . S ARAH, ON THE OTHER HAND , WANTED EVERY DETAIL AND DISCREPANCY OF THE PROCESS INCLUDED SO HER TEAM COULD USE IT AS A COMPREHENSIVE REFERENCE GUIDE .
NOW THE QUESTION IS WHAT SHOULD MEGAN DO HERE!
SHE SHOULD HAVE TO JUSTIFY WHAT THE COMPANY ACTUALLY NEEDED FROM THE FINAL DOCUMENT . THOUGH SHE FINDS OUT SARAH ’S APPROACH WAS ACTUALLY MORE REPRESENTATIVE . SHE SHOULD TALK TO CINDY REGARDING THIS AND NEED TO APPROACH HER AND HAVE TO CONVINCE HER ABOUT THIS . CINDY COULD BE VERY UNDERSTANDING OR VERY ANGRY WITH MEGAN AFTER THIS . IF SHE FEELS THAT SHE HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE THEN SHE WILL MOST LIKELY BE ANGRY AND REPRIMAND MEGAN FOR NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS . MEGHAN HAS TO TELL HER IT’ S NOT THE MATTER WHETHER TO TAKE HER OR S ARAH’ S INSTRUCTION BUT IS NECESSARY TO CHECK WHAT COMPANY ACTUALLY NEEDS . T HEY MIGHT HAVE VARIOUS OPINIONS BUT HERE IT IS REQUIRED TO TAKE ACCORDING TO COMPANY ’S NEED . S INCE SHE HAD PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH C INDY AS SHE WORKED AS SUMMER INTERN AT SMALL S ILICON V ALLEY WITH HERSELF & SHE HAD GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH HER THEREFORE SHE CAN APPROACH HER IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER AND HAVE A DISCUSSION ON HER ETHICAL POINT OF VIEW & NEEDS TO TALK TO HER POLITELY & MAKE HER REALIZE ABOUT COMPANY NEEDS .
