Robin, Mark, and Joe are personal friends who have all decided to work together as a team on class projects. As team members, Robin tends to be the supporter in the group, while Mark is the analyzer, and Joe is the director. Mark and Joe tend to be assertive in their tactics to develop projects, timelines, and completion strategies, while Robin is passive. On their first project, Robin was surprised by the lack of effort Mark and Joe seemed to put into their portion of the research. They listened to her feedback and agreed to send revisions of their work. When she received their final revisions to put a paper together, she had to do a lot of rework and research to verify confusing aspects of their data. In the end, she felt like she did most of the project on her own. Robin is in a
difficult situation because Mark and Joe are her friends. She does not want to leave their team, yet she is not sure how to approach her friends with her dissatisfaction with their work. She is the type that may end up doing her friends' work for them just to avoid strife. Based on what you have learned about critical thinking, collaboration, professionalism, and ethics, give your recommendation on how Robin should solve her dilemma.
