25. (p. 3, 26) Zoe is a right-brained, disciplined, and aggressive director type of person. She commands respect and usually gets this from colleagues and peers. She recently clashed with a person in her group who seems to possess a similar personality type and temperament. Zoe has been upset about this and wants to have a better experience in their next meeting. Based on what you've learned about effective and ineffective personality traits and self-assessment strategies, how should she handle this situation? 
A. She needs to engage in critical thinking and reflection to soften her approach, but remain confident in her strengths.
B. She needs to be self-critical and to try not to take control.
C. She needs to remain assertive, since this is the most effective way for her to work.
D. She needs to focus on results and let the other person take control for once.
Because she is an effective leader, she should remain confident in those abilities. In any case, it is unlikely she would be able to change her personality to let the other person take control (B and D). Remaining assertive (C) is also not the best option as it could result in another clash. Therefore, A is the correct answer as she should reflect on her approach but remain confident in her abilities.
