Lorraine was in a meeting where she put her colleague Erica on the spot.
Erica was smiling during the meeting, but Lorraine found out through other
colleagues that Erica took offence to what happened in that meeting. What
should Lorraine do?
Ignore Erica, and continue as though nothing has happened, because bringing it up
make things more awkward.
In a one-on-one meeting with Erica, Lorraine tells Erica that she had heard from an
colleague that Erica was upset about the meeting. Lorraine sternly tells Erica that
would have been better if she had directly told her that she was not happy.
Ask Erica if she would like to have a coffee, and say something to the effect of “the
day in the meeting, I really should not have put you on the spot like that, it wasn’t
me. If I were in your place, I would have been upset, it only occurred to me after th
meeting. I am sorry.”
Bring it up during a group meeting, and apologise to Erica in front of everyone.
