Sophia is in charge of a project to update and reorganize several financial items in the company's database. She is working with several managers to ensure that the new updates will not cause any unnecessary problems. She is reporting directly to the company's CEO. Raj, the accounts receivable manager, has not contributed to the project due to an absence because his wife is seriously ill. The CEO expects all projects to be completed on time, and he has little compassion for employees who are absent for any reason. If Sophia holds up the project to allow Raj's input, the company could face financial losses. However, if she doesn't get Raj's input and the project is unsuccessful as a result, Raj could lose his job. What should Sophia do?
